Hello - I got a refund and it ended up being Blizzard Balance, with essentially no way to pull it back other than to spend it in the Blizz store. After playing since vanilla, i’m hanging it up. It looks like it might be possible to gift game time and the Blizzard balance to a guildie or in-game friend, but I’m not sure if it will take the current balance, or ya know charge my card to fund the gift. Is it possible to send the Blizzard Balance to another player using the balance in my account right now? If not, what’s the best way to gift a $40 balance in a Blizzard account to another player?
No. You can only purchase blizzard balance to gift to someone else.
However, you can definitely use blizzard balance to gift game time or even pets/mounts from the shop. Just look for items that have the “Gift” option.
You can also remove your credit card info from your account to make sure it’s not billed instead by removing it here: https://account.blizzard.com/payment
I understand the feeling. I have $0.87 sitting in my account balance, and I don’t know how to use it, or how to get rid of it (if that’s even possible).
Best you can do is figure out something you want to purchase (game time, a token, etc.) with balance and then top up your balance with exactly the amount needed to make the purchase.
Somehow, when I did it, it cost one cent less than I anticipated so I was left with a penny in my balance. I just pretend it’s there for good luck!
You mean cash in Bnet balance, yes? So I could use my $20 Bnet balance to buy a token to get 130k gold (or whatever the going price is), correct? For some reason I thought that was restricted. But if true, that’s good to know. Thanks.
I have a separate question about gifting something to someone. What happened if you gift them mounts and or pets they already have? Will I be able to get a refund back for my purchase?
You can always put in a ticket if that happens. I’d recommend checking out their character on the armory to see if they have the pet or mount already, first.
I am trying to gift my balance to a friend and i removed all payment options but it wont let me gift my balance to my friend without putting in the cc info. What?? Can i gift it or not? Will i be billed the 22 bucks and lose my balance wth is this crap?
You can not gift your balance to someone else. You can buy new Bnet balance as a gift.
