I've always bought through Origin before, but now due to available gift card balances I'm going to end up buying my next sims purchase off Amazon.
I've never done this before and I'm a bit confused so would appreciate some advice please.
On the item listing there are 3 options; PC code in a box, PC download - Origin code, and PC Origin instant access.
PC code in a box is obvious; a physical box is delivered to you with the code inside, but PC download-Origin code and PC Origin instant access are confusing me?
What's the difference between these two? what do they mean? and why is PC download-Origin code listed twice?
Does anyone know the delivery methods for these 2 options? ideally I'd like to receive an email with the code.
Here's the link. I've randomly selected cats & dogs as an example:

It seems like PC download-Origin code is probably the better option, as I highly doubt I'd be able to link my Amazon and Origin accounts without messing it up.
I would imagine then that if I selected to purchase PC download-Origin code, that the code would be emailed to me? anyone who's done this, am I correct? and I'd also like to know how long it would take for the code to arrive.
Oh I know, but thank you for the warning. Sometimes I buy from Amazon themselves and sometimes I buy on market place, but with the issues you've mentioned here I'll make sure the seller is Amazon and not a third party seller.
eta: Nevermind, I checked my old emails and they actually do email the code to you as well.

That's useful to know. I didn't know there was a games section of my account. I'm not sure where it is.
edit: I think I found it
Oh that's useful to know, thank you
Hi, I am aware they're on sale. My questions about buying on Amazon are actually with regard to upcoming packs, but thank you anyway
That's good to know. Some of the Amazon reviews mentioned having difficulty with this method, to the point of having to get refunds. If you don't mind me asking, how did you link the accounts?
