been scouring the net for cheap gamer points 2100 points on gamer points now site is ?17.95 where as 2000 points direct on live is ?17.00 is this a site for people without credit cards as i don't really see the reason to purchase uk points from them, am i missing something here?

If you use the 50p off offer, it's cheaper than on Live and if you get the 4200 point package it's cheaper still.

I use it if i have some funds to spare in my paypal account. They are really great, extremly helpful and you get the codes e-mailed to you instantly.

They're now doing US Wii points. Shame it's so expensive, but at least they've catered for us importers.

EDIT: sorry if this is old news.

D'oh, ignore, misread.

The 50p off code has now been changed to make it easier to remember.

Please use "NTSC-UK" as your coupon code now.

These still don't seem widely available and aren't available from any of our wholesale sources. Once we can get them, they will appear on the site.

On US Wii points - being VAT registered in the UK, we have to add VAT onto our imported items which bumps the price up, unfortunately.

Getting anymore 2100 Marketplace points in? Need to give some to a friend.

I placed an order (id: 11910) but instead of my 4200 points code, I received an email saying there has been trouble with my payment, WTF ? I checked my Paypal account and the funds have been debited

Your paypal bank account and GPN account are registered to different countries. As stated on the site, they need to match.

2100 points won't be coming in until next month, there seems to be a shortage everywhere at the moment unfortunately.

Glad to see you have USA Wii points up! Might buy some in the future if for any reason I can't borrow my sis credit card. (£11-£12 for 2000 points via CC)

First:it is not stated anywhere that the country must match, second: there is no such thing as a Paypal bank account (Paypal is not a bank) and third: Well you have just lost a faithful customer, I previously bought from you (orders ID 4091 and 4086) successfuly and you didn't experience any problem with my payment.

I ended up buying my Microsoft Points from this website http://gamecards24x7.com/games/goods/47/ and they happily accepted my Paypal payment and the price was cheaper too

another good website for buying Microsoft points and Live subscriptions that accept Paypal:

Hi,

I do the programming and server administration for GamePointsNow.

First:it is not stated anywhere that the country must match

From the site: "You must be Paypal address verified, and the address you enter must match your Paypal address." This has been on our letter-verification system from the beginning - it's the whole point of the system.

second: there is no such thing as a Paypal bank account (Paypal is not a bank)

PayPal bank account as in the bank account used on your PayPal account

They may appear cheaper. However, by paying in US Dollars, British customers must use PayPal's exchange rate. This is about 2.5% worse than the XE.com rate - making the real price higher than ours (about ?18 for 2100 points). MicrosoftPointsXbox have the same issue and don?t sell UK points.

Gamesbite.com charge in pounds but don't show their prices with VAT applied. The price you pay is 17.5% more than the price listed (?19.96 for 2100 points).

We're cheaper than these companies, especially with the 50p discount voucher.

Thanks!

MicrosoftPointsXbox.com sells Live Gold subscription codes cheaper even if you factor in Paypal's exchange rate for example the Xbox Live 12+1 Month Gold code costs 44.95 USD which is equivalent to 25.58 GBP only according to Paypal's exchange rate
