~~EDIT~~

I want to say thank you very much. I'm now in the process of installing Dragon Valley and was able to use the money I had on my EA Account. I'm happy now. Just waiting patiently for the download to finish doing it's thing. :)

    Thank you for this post! I have 2 EA cash cards that I was saving for DV. I was going to add them to my EA account balance.

    I guess I am going to hold off on that for now.

    Thanks again for making this known. You saved me a lot of hassle.

    I completely understand your frustration and anger. Like you, I intended to us my EA Cash Balance to purchase Dragon Valley. Much to my disappointment, when I was taken to the purchase page, EA Cash is not available for me.

    Which, is interesting, since I was able to purchase Barnacle Bay using EA Cash. Perhaps this is a bug, or glitch, with the site. Hopefully we will be able to get DV soon.

    Oh that is not good. I just put my EA cash card on so I would have a balance here to use towards DV. I take it that for whatever reason it is not working? I didn't try ordering it yet since I wanted to make sure others were able to download & play DV.

    Is there something special we need to do in order to use our cash card balance when buying DV? Has it been possible to use cash card account balances on simpoint bundles in the past? I have never used the cash card or tried to use it here before this.

    Thanks for the heads up! I was just about to do the same thing with the gold bundle. And one simmer didn't even get their 1900 simpoints. I understand it's just released and all, but they need to get it together unless they want a lawsuit :lol:

    Go through "Buy Simpoints" under Store up top. It's what I just did. Haven't downloaded it yet, but it shows as purchased, got the simpoints, and Celtic Lands shows as purchased, too :-)

    Step 1: At the top, right side, of the page there are the Sim Points, click this. It will take you to the page to purchase your Sim Points....

    I was also able to use my EA account balance to pay for this. I just went to the screen where you purchase simpoints and the bundle with DV is there. I selected the option to pay with my account balance and DV is now in my purchase history and I received my 1900 points.

    I third this. I was able to use my balance to purchase DV when I went through the main store page to buy simpoints, not through the dragon valley page. I can't purchase the venue or download DV however. that part is still not functioning for me.

    I already know that I can not buy Dragon Valley with Sim Points. I don't have a credit card or deal with paypal. Instead I placed my money on my EA Account Balance. Now I am not able to use that CASH for the purchase of Dragon Valley. What in the HECK is the purpose of an EA Account Balance if we can't use that CASH to buy Dragon Valley?

    Please don't tell me to edit my title, because I WILL NOT. :evil: I have waited patiently for Dragon Valley to be released, and I did not convert it over to Sim Points. Someone really needs to look into this and make it available to pay it this route, or is that against the law.

    The EA cash card is used to get simpoints or bundles in the buy simpoint page only. Since DV is also there, you can get them there as bundles with the EA cashcard balance as explained in the posts above.

    Sometimes it is good to breathe and ask before yelling at people for attention. We are all very busy, but luckily there are very nice people who helped you out.

    Thanks and glad it got resolved.

    I was not yelling at people with that post, I was only yelling in the title to get someone's attention. Bigger letters will catch anyone's attention. If I had been yelling at people, my whole post would have all been in caps, and I would never ever do to that. What was also going on yesterday, I was also having a really bad day with other stuff as well, but managed to get that whole mess all sorted out as well. Yesterday was just one of those days, and if you ever look in any of my past post since I became a member here, you will see that I very rarely ever get irritated. I did noticed that this topic did also help several others who were having the same issue.

    you have to have a balance equal to or greater than your purchase amount.

    You have to use the cash cards to fund your EA Account balance until it has at least as much as the bundle you want to buy costs.

    Put the cash card into your EA Account Balance here:
