    Simpoint Cards?

    I know that you can buy Sim Point cards, and I was wondering, Where do you buy them at?

    I can't find them at Wal Mart...

      Walmart seems to not sell them anymore.

      Try Target and Best Buy, that is where I am always able to find them. Also I think Game Stop has them. :)

      Edit: I also redeem them through Origin because when I do redeem through here I get taxed on them and don't get the amount of points I am supposed to plus having to pay tax at the store, so twice I get taxed. Origin doesn't tax them.
      Long live the new Doctor!

      That is odd, Walmart in my area still sells them. Just in case you don't know what they look like, look for this card.

      This EA Cash Card will also get you your Sim Points.

      OH! I thought the cash card were for something else LOL!

      If I buy a $20 one, that'll mean I have 2000 sim points right?

      Yes, but I have found that if you go this route, you actually can get free items for the game, or leave it in cash amount, and use it to buy Dragon Valley when it comes.

      First go to this page


      https://activate.ea.com/retailCode.do?theme=retail...m&surl=http://www.eastore.com/

      Enter your card numbers.

      Once you add the points over at ea.com go to this page

      https://store.thesims3.com/buysimpoints?execution=e1s1

      Go all the way to the bottom of the page, just past the part where you can pay $10 for a 1,000 points. Normally you won't see this option if you don't have any thing on your EA account, but once you enter your information on ea.com, there will be a section where you can transfer all your points/money; I can't remember exactly the word, but you will see it once you have done the first part. I hope this made sense, because I'm confusing myself here. It is not that hard. Just make sure you are logged into both this site, and the ea.com site.

      I will warn you that your total EA Account Balance will go towards sim points once you convert them. Yes a $20 card will get you 2,000 sim points.
