Sell Paragon Points cards in stores

Christmas is coming and I want to tell my family what to get me, but all they can get me that relates to COX is time cards. Time cards are nice, but I'm planning to subscribe anyway, so they won't feel like they're really changing my enjoyment of the game just getting me one of those. However, if they got me Paragon Points they'd be spoiling me, getting me stuff in the game that I might not have been willing to purchase if it were left up to me and my finances.

So the question is: how do they gift a thing like that?

They can get you a prepaid credit card and load it with cash and you can use it to buy Paragon Points.

Yeah. That works..... but it's not really a Christmas present. They might as well just give me a 20 dollar bill and tell me to spend it specifically on that.

I never claimed it was. Just offering info on a way to get what your asking about since the game doesn't offer it.

Oh and if you think about it this is much safer for players to use than a normal CC. If someone gets the card info, they can't ruin your credit or steal your ID, and at most they can only get access to the amount loaded on the card which you can usually get back with fraud claims. And the card can be used for other things than just this game.


Oh and if it's a surprise you'd like you could log them into the game Christmas Eve and open up the store for them and let them buy you stuff for your account from the market. Then when you log in you'd see the nifty presents that have been unlocked on your account.

How is $20 not a Christmas present?

It's the whole "Here, go buy your own present." thing he's got an issue with. Nothing wrong with that. An actual gift means they cared enough to put some thought into trying to get you something you'd like. Giving cash is an easy out. You care enough to give something but not enough to put any effort into it.
