I read on the website it says I unlock the full game of WoW with the purchase of 1 month game time or monthly subscription… I bought game time and seem to have no problem travelling anywhere but I had bought a Full Game card with my game time as well at the store. I paid $20 for the full game card. Im only lvl 19 and I dont think i’ve travelled to an area of an expansion yet. So, Idk if those areas have unlocked or just the basic primary game/area. Do I have to redeem my card? I ask because I feel as if I spent 20 dollars for nothing on the full game card. I already have the game downloaded. Have I been bamboozled?
REPLY to NOK Thank you tho, you answered my question. The card is useless, really. Ill just stash it away and see what comes of it.
Just adding game time allows you to access all content through Battle for Azeroth that has a level cap of 50.
The only other thing you might want to but later is the new expansion - Shadow Lands - which hasn’t been released yet. It will enable you to level from 51-60.
Game time comes in 30 day increments. You can add your additional time card at any time and 30 days will be added to take effect after your initial 30 days elapses.

Its not an additional time card. It’s a game card with WOW the full game on it. This card and the time card are different. I thought I needed to buy the game for 20$ and then the time for 15. (Or 20 if using blizzard balance cards). So, blizzard is selling these cards out there of the game download for 20$ like it did previously when expansions were sold individually but then they offer the game free with game time. You need toi buy game time regardless to play WoW so its basically spending 20$ on nothing. Because the game gets downloaded for free online.
Blizzard dropped the requirement to buy the game over two years ago, so they haven’t been having these manufactured in at least that long.
That doesn’t stop retailers from trying to get money for something they purchased before they were phased out, however, so your beef is with the store you bought it from.

Except blizzard pulled those game cards from the market a couple of years ago when they set things up so all you needed to do was add time to a game you could download for free.
Whoever sold you that card ripped you off, not Blizzard.
