MyCard Point Conversion maintenance is complete, but ONLY from the Member Zone! I have successfully converted my MyCard points into a Battle.net card using the instructions I posted on page 11. I've successfully used the Battle.net card to put points onto Battle.net to purchase the game. Currently downloading the game. Will come back in a bit to clarify and answer questions. | ||

I've walked through the following steps personally and have successfully used my 1000 point MyCard that had been stuck collecting dust for the last several days. I'm currently downloading the game. Please refer to the official tutorial at http://active.mycard520.com.tw/web/teach/teach_micro_battlenet3.html , as we will be following the basic steps pictured on that page. INSTRUCTIONS The following instructions are for people with this problem: You purchased a 1000 or 2000 point MyCard from Offgamers and have not been able to redeem it for Battle.net Cards at https://www.mycard520.com.tw/MyCardStore/Store.aspx . The reason is because Battle.net cards are only sold in denominations of 150, 300, 450, and 1150 Battle.net points. So if you try to redeem with 1000 MyCard points, you are unable to see the option for redemption. ![[image loading]](https://warcraft.tw/wtb/images/about-card_p02.jpg) Step 1: Create a MyCard member account 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)_/¯ Also, remember the security code you specified, you will need it later. Step 2: Check that "戰網卡" is a redemption option After upgrading to authorized member, several new options will now appear on the left-hand column of the member area. Click the second link in the menu, "Redeem". You will now see two drop-down menus. For the first menu ("Please select game or digital content"), look for the option called "戰網卡" (which means "Battle.net Card"). It was the 3rd item on the menu for me. ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/651/mycard1.jpg/) After selecting it, the second drop-down menu ("MyCard type") will now populate itself with new options. It will list 300, 450, and 1150 point Battle.net Cards. (150 redemption is currently offline according to the 7/16 news announcement on their front page). If "戰網卡" doesn't appear in the drop-down menu, then the system is back on maintenance like it was for the last week. If this is the case, you will have to wait before you can proceed with the next steps. Step 3: Converting your 1000 point MyCard to "Member Points" When you logged in as a member, you should have noticed that on the top-left, there is a display that says "MyCard points: 0". This means you have 0 online "Member Points." Member Points are what you use to purchase the cards in Step 2. We are going to turn our 1000 point MyCard into 1000 Member Points. Mini-Discussion regarding Denominations As was stated earlier, Battle.net Cards can only be bought in certain denominations (150, 300, 450, 1150). That means that if you had 1000 Member Points, you could redeem two 450 point cards (450+450 = 900). This would leave you with 100 Member Points uselessly left over. Furthermore, 900 Battle.net points isn't enough to purchase the game, which costs 1150 Battle.net points. What I did was to purchase another 150 point MyCard from Offgamers. Their SC2 page linked in the OP doesn't have MyCard listed anymore, but they do still sell it on the site. I went to their WoW section at http://www.offgamers.com/world-of-warcraft/wow-tw/wow-mycard-c-16-2920-2922.ogm and bought another 150 point MyCard. With my original 1000 point card and 150 point card, I then have 1150 points worth of MyCard, which is the exact amount I need for the game. Turning your MyCards into Member Points Go to https://www.mycard520.com.tw/MyCardStore/Store.aspx Enter in the information. You'll see the beloved menu. ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/847/mycardlist.png/) 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). Logon to the MyCard member area. On the top-left, it should now say "MyCard points: 1000". I repeated the process for my 150 point MyCard. Afterwards, the top-left now says "MyCard points: 1150". Step 4: Purchase Battle.net Card with your Member Points Logon to the MyCard member area. Go back to the same "Redeem" page from Step 2. In the first menu, select "戰網卡" ("Battle.net Card") In the second menu, select the 1150 point Battle.net Card. ![[image loading]](http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/190/mycard2.jpg/) Press submit to redeem. It will now ask you for three things: 1) Your current membership password. Enter it. 2) A new membership password. Make something up and remember it. It will be your new logon password after this is all over. They say they do this for security purposes. 3) Your security code. Enter in the code you made up back in Step 1. Everything should go through successfully. You will be taken back onto the familiar turf described in the OP. You'll be asked to enter your Battle.net account's email, and then you'll be asked to logon to Battle.net. Your Battle.net Card code will be given to you, which you can finally use to turn into Battle.net points! | ||

Yeah those guys are sneaky. They didn't even have a news announcement on their front page saying that maintenance was over. The only way to know was to manually check the redeem page and cross your fingers, which sucked. | ||

Google Chrome works somewhat, but you get unexpected errors. Firefox seems to be the only one which actually works 100%). The whole process takes between 30 minutes to 4 hours depending on how quickly you figure this out. Thanks for all the guides! I wouldn't stand a chance without you guys Grats! | ||

I really fail hard yea, but any help is apprecitaed. If I'm understanding your situation, currently: On Battle.net: You have 150+450+450 = 1050 Battle.net points. On MyCard: You have 100 MyCard member points (leftover from the 1000-450-450). If this is correct, then you probably have to purchase another 150 point MyCard from Offgamers (MyCards are no longer listed on their SC2 page but can be found elsewhere on the site, for example on their WoW page at http://www.offgamers.com/world-of-warcraft/wow-tw/wow-mycard-c-16-2920-2922.ogm ). You'd then just follow the steps in the OP and redeem it directly at https://www.mycard520.com.tw/MyCardStore/Store.aspx . You'd then end up with: On Battle.net: 1050+150 = 1200 Battle.net points. You'll use up 1150 to buy the game and have 50 Battle.net points leftover. On MyCard: Still the same 100 leftover MyCard member points. You'd end up with $6 worth of unusable, leftover points split across two sites, but I don't think there's any other way to do it. Maybe you can use the leftover points to buy Heart of the Swarm TW version when it comes out. Nobody knows how much the expansion will cost, so maybe the numbers will still even out for you in the long run. Let me know if I misunderstood your question btw. | ||

I took the sixth option in this screenshot (WoW): ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/4ogyA.png) It will then ask you which kind of WoW product you want convert and you should select the first one. It should show ya the amount of points from the card you entered. After clicking ok it gives you the option to fill in your WoW accountname, you can just leave it filled like it is as it is just optional. After that it will send you to https://warcraft.tw/wtb/wow-transformcard.aspx and automatically fill the card section by itself. All you have to do is fill in your battle.net email-address and the security code. It will then continue to battle.net redeem code section where it will automatically fill in the code you need. Press submit and the points are added to your account ^_^ | ||

You can redeem the points for Battle.net cards (戰網卡). This will then become your Battle.net currency. When you have 1150 currency on your battle.net account you will be able to digitally buy the game via Battle.net | ||
