Some people had said they'd ordered but hadn't received the email, my post was just to address you don't need to as it displays the code when you get the confirmation.

Nope we never get that far into the process, it bugs out one step before, thats the whole problem.

My solution.

I had the same problem, two accounts only able to activate one of them.

That is when I used Mozilla Firefox, when I switched to Internet Explorer I managed to get it working on my first attempt.

Just an fyi.

Are you able to change the ea store that you use?
I'm based in the uk so using the ea store allocated to my part of the eu, if there is another eu store for another country could try using that, I seem to remember someone saying that they are in austraila and bought a time card on that store?

Some did it with a proxy. Don't think it's possible other than that. Doubt it will help though.

Doesn't matter what I do or what payment method I choose I always end up getting the 'We are unable to process your order. Please verify your information and try again.' when I select the 1 month pre-paid card. I flat out refuse to buy the 3 month just because the 1 month option is broken.

Ok this is bullshit now, managed to get 1 code after over 50 attempts using the exact same procedure every time. How can it fail all those times and then work once? I need codes for 2 more accounts but I could be here all night and not get them. :(

They still not fixed this shit? All I want to do is pay them some money, they were quick enough to take loads a month ago.

I activated my EU and US account today, just bought a time card (2x 1month) and copied/pasted code into account manager was done within minutes. So it isnt broke, you guys must be doing something wrong.

Don't, just don't. I have been at it for days, 3 different browsers, 3 different PC's, no ad-blockers or extensions. We aren't doing anything wrong, the system is on the fritz in someway.

It is pretty odd that some people have no issues though - worked fine for me with McD voucher - I thought I might run into problems as it referred to euro accounts on the EAStore checkout page but the timecode worked for my US account.

I was using Win 7 and firefox if that helps.

Someone just posted this on VN. Worked for me :D
If you want to pay with a credit card and live in the EU you simply have to change the contact information attached to your account to show you live in the US. Some will say this is illegal it's not. You still have to enter your credit card info correctly this just allows you to be able to use a credit card. The Account Management page runs a check on your country via you account information, if it says you live outside the US you can only pay by game card, if you live inside the US you can use a credit card. Enjoy

Managed to buy 2 cards, refuses to let me buy a 3rd...

Oh well, foolish to think anything related to EA would actually work properly.

Edit, it now says my order is being processed and they will notify me of the result shortly. What the fuck is that supposed to mean? Have they charged me or not? Can't really try again knowing what a joke their billing system is so stuck without a BB.

Farce

I had to use the US billing trick, fucking farce but the only way I could get it to work. Tried a couple of different PC's today and the store just wouldn't get past the final stage and issue codes.
