Acquiring a 30 day pass for TW ($5.75 USD!) - Page 11

Not much success yet, but I did find a tutorial on the site for using "MyCard member points" as currency to purchase Battle.net cards at http://active.mycard520.com.tw/web/teach/teach_micro_battlenet3.html

To clarify, these are the steps:

1) Create a MyCard member account. This will make you a MyCard "junior member", which has very limited functionality. Logon to the member area and follow the instructions to verify your account via email so that you can upgrade to an "authorized member." I selected "Overseas" member, because I don't live in Taiwan. The only tricky field they asked for was a passport number, so I just made up a random 9-digit number (Taiwan passports #'s are apparently 9 digits). I pressed submit and successfully upgrade to an authorized member.

Note that when I tried the first time I entered in just a random 3 digit number for the passport field and when I pressed submit it failed and I had to start all over again. I have no idea what the deal is really. So I just stuck with a random 9 digit number and it worked. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2) After upgrading to authorized member, several new options will now appear on the left-hand column of the member area. These options are in English (thank goodness!) and correspond directly with the picture on "Step 2" of the tutorial.

For example, note that in the "Step 2" picture, "轉點儲值" is boxed in red. On the English version, this corresponds with "Redeem". This is what we want, so click it!

3) This is where I got stuck again. The picture for Step 3 in the tutorial shows that the fabeled "戰網卡" (Battle.net card) option is available to be selected. But on my browser, I see no such option.


TLDR:
"戰網卡" *should* be available on the drop-down menu; MyCard shows it right on its own tutorial! The reason why we don't actually see it right now is unclear. We can only hope that the option isn't down permanently and that it is only on temporary maintenance. Some people have used the MyCard customer service webform to ask questions and apparently received a reply that the service is going through maintenance, but nobody seems to have gotten an answer on the ETA.

I hope all of you guys can keep playing with their website and talking to their customer service, as the more people trying to figure this out the faster we'll get to a final answer.


EDIT (CLARIFICATION):

Some people might be confused as to what the hell "MyCard member points" are and how to get them. MyCard member points ARE NOT the same as the MyCard points bought from Offgamers. It is something that Toons accidentally stumbled upon in another thread and I got clarification from him through PM.

"Step Zero" -- Converting MyCard 1000 point card to MyCard 1000 "member points":
(Note: Do NOT do Step Zero until somebody figures out a way to make Step 3 work! This is all experimental and you might screw yourself.)

0a) Go to https://www.mycard520.com.tw/MyCardStore/Store.aspx

0b) Enter in the information. You'll see the beloved menu.

Choose the first option that has the word 'MyCard' in it. This will convert your 1000 point MyCard into 1000 MyCard "member points" (i.e. it just loads the MyCard points onto your online member account).

0c) Login to the MyCard member area. On the top-left, it should now say "MyCard points: 1000". (Before, it would have said MyCard points: 0").

0d) Now that you have MyCard member points, you can use them as currency to execute Steps 1-3. In essence, you use your online member points and redeem/convert them into Battle.net cards.

We already know that Battle.net cards are only sold/redeemed in denominations of 150, 300, 450, and 1150 points. My hypothesis is that with 1000 member points, you will redeem twice, each time for a 450 point Battle.net card. 450+450 = 900 (with 100 useless MyCard member points leftover). You'll still need more Battle.net cards to hit the 1150 required to buy the game, probably 450+450+150+150 = 1200 points (50 useless points leftover on your Battle.net account).
