Booster/expansion gifts?

I have this terrible feeling I've missed the obvious and will realize it as soon as I hit the Submit button...

I've got a friend who played a CoH trial a few months back and loved it, and is today upgrading to a full account. As a gift, I'd like to give her the expansion and a booster or two. I don't quite see how to do this at the store - when I start the purchase process it asks me to select from my own account list.

What can I do to get the codes, not use them myself, and pass them along?

You can't as far as I know. When you buy them the codes are automatically applied to your account. They aren't like time cards. Why don't you give her the money and then she can buy the items.

I think PayPal has something where you could do that and she can use it.

Well, foo. I finally found the information I needed on the support site, and you're right. Thank you for the quick answer, though!

It's too bad we can't gift boosters and such, I've a few friends online who I would like to give the boosters, but of course I cannot.

The sad thing is, you used to be able to do this. A few months after I started the game a friend joined, and for his birthday I bought the GvE item pack and just gave him the code. He applied it and all was good.

well you could always ask her to log in her master account and simply use your credit card without saving it (unless you want her to use your CC.... yeah didn't think so)

The only thing you can gift is boxed expansion sets since the code it provides is printed on a physical card.
Kind of a bummer.

The send money via paypal is a good idea.

Or ask for thier account name/password, add it and tell them to change thier password.


I don't suffer from altitis, I enjoy every minute of it.

Thank you Devs & Community people for a great game.

So sad to be ending ):
