I would probably buy these if we could get them in Canadian stores. I don't buy stuff online at all, so this would be a way for me to support the site and get the awesome items from MCTs a lot more often.

Loving the "don't let this be neopets 3.0" arguments.
Hah! Are you joking?
CSC already gives users a HUGE advantage on the site vs Neopets. At least they don't allow anyone to profit and just buy their way into stardom.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely approve of subeta's method! It's great, and it's working. But honestly? Are you kidding me? Subeta ALREADY IS turning out to give paying users huge advantages. The most prized items are always CSC (among the most popular, MCT and wigs...) and they are worth millions.
It just seems like it's the new edgy thing to be bashing the site you were all referred here from. gtfo.

My PayPal account never seems to act right, so having Subeta gift cards in WalMart / Target otr, better yet, GameStop would be a Godsend. I'd buy a lot more CSC if this came into play.

I love this idea but I hope that they will get sold in australia. A good australian shop would be either Big W, Kmart ot Target. I like Big W most <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />

Yes, please. I vote Target too though. Gamestop would be even better.
You know I had an interesting thought. If cards were sold out in very public popular stores, people might start learning about Subeta. I mean, most people learn of it through word of mouth I think. This way it'll get peoples attention
Whether we want that or not is really debatable. I think that's what happened to a certain other website. :/

Your entitled to your opinion just dont assume every cares that you think walmart is a bad place. They are not the only store like that, its a big cooperation they get a lot of buzz cause of that than smaller places. I know you werent talking to me but wanted to state what I thought too. Walmart is an excellent place to shop and if someone doesnt like to work there then dont work there. One of these days someone will get walmart to step up to the plate and pay their employees more but until someone does I will still shop there. I have a walmart right next to me a target down the road and if I want a subeta card that bad I will take a trip where ever else to get one. So I don't really care where the cards go in whatever store I will still go get it if its here in the USA up north. I think the poll really says it all though I didnt that many people did the poll the numbers are wow! haha
I wasn't assuming everyone cares, but i know people do - especially my parents. Just because mine is the minority thought does not make it unimportant. Most stores do not have the power that Walmart has, so i doubt many smaller places are like that. And it's not just the employees that are getting jipped. <a href="/redirect.php?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwakeupwalmart.com%2Ffacts%2F" target="_new"> Here. Read the facts. </a>

Jennie: I'm not saying I think it's a terrible idea to have the cards. I'd like that idea...but in other stores. I just hate Walmart. Do you KNOW what they do? They may bring jobs and lower prices, but they destroy mom and pop stores (like what my parents have), are incredibly greedy, and the employees are very poorly paid. It's not the same as Target and other discount stores. It's not like I'm bashing EVERY store who has low prices. Like someone said before, google "Wake up, Walmart".
Since when have i not been able to have an opinion? :/

I'm sure its a great idea for those with access to the stores. But where I am we don't even have foreign subsidiaries of American chains. And even if we did they wouldn't want to sell something in american dollars.

I voted no because I wouldn't buy them in stores, though I do think they're a great idea -- particularly for users without their own credit cards. But my concern is the exchange rate for non-US users like myself.
With PayPal, the rate is current and exact. How could the physical cards be that precise? Would they just be for sale in US dollars? That doesn't seem likely.
Usually with things I buy from US suppliers, if the exchange rate isn't determined the PayPal way, I get a little bit screwed because they set the Canadian price according to each item.
Like on Sephora.com, for example, if I have a $15 lip gloss and a $30 mascara in my cart, when I check out and see the Canadian prices, the gloss might be $17 and the mascara, $38. There are discrepancies.
How would this issue be handled?

It's a good idea as long the paypal option remains for those who prefer it.
Have 3 concerns though.
1. Subeta users who do not have access to Walmart or whatever.
2. Are there enough users on Subeta to make it viable.
3. I would not like to see Subeta becoming too much like another pet site that has offers available only to people who redeem cards. This is my biggest concern.

bring them to walmart and CVS pharmacies please...and have them in increments of $10, $15, $20, and such...those who only want to spend like $5 for cash credits then can still use paypals...i just would feel safer buying a $10 Subeta cash credit card then redeem it on this site then keep going to paypal all the time...not everyone has an account on paypal nor do they want to have their financial information on there all the time...no offense of course to paypal since i think they are trusted site...it just buying cards at a store to redeem for cash credits on game sites are just easier way to donate...if you not have the $10 increment especially in Walmart stores then you will lose out on alot of customers (just a little business sense there)...other game sites start with increment of $25 on Walmart card shelf area and personally people get turned off by those increments...i mostly go to Walmart and CVS stores often so those would be the best places i want to see Subeta cash cards at...upstate NY please ~bats lashes and winks~

It's a good idea, but I had to be honest. I'd prefer to buy directly from Subeta through Paypal (or other viable means). I also think it might be easier and more efficient not to do it through cards. The main benefit for buyers would be something physical to hold to show for it I guess. My "no" vote doesn't mean "no" to spending money for the site.

Cash cards are a fabulous idea, but I don't think Wal-Mart or Target would be the best place to sell them. Too few and far apart. Every neighbourhood has a pharmacy and that would be so much easier for the younger users to buy them. Another site sells their cards at Shoppers Drug Mart in Canada. With so many pharmacy chains I'm sure you could find one to carry your cards. Just a thought.

This is a GREAT idea. Not only would it make CSC available to the users who are unable to use PayPal, it would allow the site to get more revenue.
To the users bugging out about not having a Walmart in their area, they need to read more closely. There are foreign equivalents to Walmart, so don't worry.
I highly doubt that their would be 'redeemable codes' on the cards for special prizes since the staff know and understand that not EVERY area will be able to carry these cards.

ps thats another reason I hate Neopets is bc they have cash cards but you cant get them everywhere in the usa let alone in other countries.. and they give out bonuses to card users and it makes it unfair to the paypal users .. so I say if you want to give a bonus or free gift, give it to all, not just one group of users when its not avail to all to get.

I love paypal bc its so convenient but I wouldnt mind a card either. The only downside to a card is that in rural areas (like where I live) it would be very hard to get them so I hope if you do go the card route that you also leave the paypal option.

And then google "paypal sucks" <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_wink.gif" border="0" />. No matter where you shop / put your money, there is going to be problems with the company behind it.
Regardless, for those of you in the UK the method we are exploring for you is accepting "Wallie Cards" and "Paysafe" cards which you can purchase in drug stores and gas stations.

No offense but I dont really care about the employers I shop there cause its cheap and has everything in one place. If people didnt like working there then they should leave to a new job.

It depends whether you could do that without ending up owing money to the companies that carry them in their stores. It would cost money to have them printed, and there might be things like contracts that could make fore compromising circumstances.

For those who aren't able to use paypal, it's going to be great <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" /> As for me, I don't live in the US and I don't even know if there is a walmart in Germany... xD' I'd prefer paypal anyway

Sorry, turns out Wal-mart = Asda. Never knew that. Just hope Target has a UK equivalent. And also HMV could stock the cards.

I hope that the UK get there share of cards. Wal-mart and Target are all fine and dandy, but don't exist over here!!! But Toys-r-us is a rubbish place to sell that kind of stuff. Supermarkets would'nt stock them, so Game, Gamestation (woolys is bust <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" />) WHSmiths etc. would be viable options. At least then I would be purchasing a real object than online currency <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" />

Absolutely! I am unable to use PayPal, so I can't buy CSC at all, until something like this is implemented.

Okay...from the comments in this news post, I have a few things to get off my chest...
Yes to the real cards.
Hell no to the free gifts for redeeming them, or something. Until the cards were available worldwide, that wouldn't exactly be fair. =/
Respect to Keith for valuing the user's opinions though!

I personally prefer Target but would go to Walmart too i DO know this if im out and shopping and paying bills and stuff i am more likely to grab a card than to use paypal ... when i use paypal now im always afraid it wont regerter in my bank quick enough (sometimes takes 4-5 days) and ill forget and get overdrawn
BUT if i got cash on me and am in a store ill buy one and not think twice cuz i dont have to worry about a stupid $30 over draw fee .... Not to mention it would make my kid extreamly happy she could use her babysitting money to get CSC instead of having to ask me to buy her a GA with my paypal and then have to pay me back each time

YES!! Although I rarely step foot in a walmart and would much prefer you sold them at Target. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
Either way, I would be very happy being able to purchase these in a store as I don't have or intend on getting a paypal account.

Not sure why so many people hate walmart from reading from the comments from the beginning. Jhundor: I have "dignity" walking out of walmart. You sound as if people who go shopping at walmart are cheap or suttin. Just sounds odd I wouldnt say K-mart cause there isnt any k-marts around where I live they all moved down south I think. I cant really think of any other stores other than target and walmart cause those are everywhere. Heck you can sell them at mcdonals they got those everywhere haha im just joking about that.

I already use paypal... but if it's like another site with an item reward (or something) for a big amount spent, I would definitely make the trip to buy one in a store. 'XD
Plus my dad may prefer to have me buy from a store, so I may be able to buy more credits. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

Not sure if this is a good idea but maybe for the people who get the paypal and gift cards every time there is a monthly gift for them or something... I know we get free gifts but what about just gifts to them for using cards and helping the site out. it could be a better way to sell cards i dont know :/ just thinking i still like the idea cause i would go to walmart and get cards

I think some people have the wrong idea. This isn't about "secret codes" and special prizes, it's just a way that people who can't, or don't want to, have PayPal, can still buy CSCs and support the site. I know I'm going to get the A..kisser flames, but I am seeing Keith try really hard lately to listen to the users and implement the things they are asking for, and this is one of the things. If you haven't watched his latest video, you might want to. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />

oops, missed Keith's post while typing my last one. I understand that hiring programmers costs a lot of money. But I know I'm not the only person who has either stopped spending money or has drastically cut down the amount spent in the past few years. If the site was more stable and the features we're promised would actually come out, I would spend A LOT more money on here. Why not work on getting the current loyal users to spend more (by making the site better) than getting new users to spend money? That way you'd be making current users happy and more likely to stay here.

Well, you could set up eBay lots lol
And Accept all forms of payment ><
it'll save you money on the production of the cards and I think everyone would be able to purchase that way.

I hesitantly voted "Yes"... if I were buying cash credits from Subeta at all (and I'd certainly like to), this would certainly be my preferred method. Because I don't have a credit card at all, so have to hassle my husband to use HIS Paypal; and of course he buys them for HIS Subeta account and sends them over, which kinda flouts the excessive gift giving thing you're not supposed to do when you share an IP... in short, it's a hassle, and an option to fork over physical cash would be very useful.
However all that is theoretical, as nothing alters the fact that I'm too poor to buy cash shop credits in the first place <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> (except maybe a few like right after Christmas or a birthday or something). So in that respect I would not be "inclined to purchase" 'cause I just can't afford to. That's assuming such a scheme made it to the corner of the world where I live in the first place; which is fairly unlikely.

I have mixed feelings about this. I had to vote no though, in the end. Like many people have already said, I do not want this site to become like neopets. I agree about membership skyrocketing (and not necessarily in a good way either). I already use paypal with no problems, so I would personally probably never buy them, unless there was some extra benefit of buying the cards vs using paypal (because paypal is far more convenient for me), but that would be getting to be a little too much like neopets. I know it would help out people who can't use paypal, but I think the bad far outweighs the good in this situation. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_sad.gif" border="0" /> And like one person already said, I'd be far more inclined to spend more money on this site if it was more stable. Spend time on fixing broken things first, then add new things.

I think Walmart is slightly better than Target..at least walmart is both Canadian and American. I live in a tiny town, but we still have a walmart. Its all the way across the other end of the city, but still, at least I can get there.

I would but it'd be kind of weird. I've always viewed Subeta as like.. the "independent, underground" website where Neopets and Gaia (OH SHE SAID IT SHE MENTIONED THE ~~OTHER SITES~~) were more mainstream.

I think it's a great idea for the many that don't have access to Paypal, but I think it should be in stores that are more far reaching than Walmart, such as K-Mart, in the US. Walmart tends to only be in the larger cities and many people don't have one nearby - my closest one is 3 hours away. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_raspberry.gif" border="0" /> I already use PayPal, but know there are many who really want to be able to buy CSCs.

I like this idea, since it stands to reason that there are a lot of people who can't use paypal or have parents who aren't willing to pay for them.
The cards cover the people who can't use it, and paypal covers the people who don't want to use the cards. <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_happy.gif" border="0" />

I think it /is/ a good idea, but I agree with Flem - I live in the UK, and of course walmarts don't exist here. Also ~ I found that when Neopets started selling merchandise irl there were benefits such as special codes that could be redeemed and used on the site. This was unfair as UK users (and other countries) couldn't redeem the codes. That's the only issue I have. But other than that, great idea <img src="http://images.subeta.net/smilies/6398_emoticon_smile.gif" border="0" />
