Re: Can I Use Origin Access Gift Cards for my EA Wallet Without a Subscription?

@GenericFan  EA gift cards for a specific purchase, like those that specify Access or a specific game currency, can only be used for their intended purchase.  I'm surprised that the Best Buy cards are only for Access or Premier; I've bought cash cards there before, when I didn't want to input my payment information.  I've also seen the cards at Target and heard they're available at Walmart as well.

Google brings up a number of offers from Walmart and GameStop, so one of those in your area should have what you want.

    Thank you for your reply! I did suspect that the premier and access cards would not be balance cards. After your reply, I did go to several different physical retailers in my area (2 Gamestops, 2 Walmarts, and a Target) that did not carry physical cards nor would they in the future. The Gamestops didn't even have Steam cards, and those are everywhere here! I did find some EA cards on Walmart's website, though the image they use is for an access premier card, the description, title, and reviews indicate it is actually a wallet card. At this point, I'll throw a $20 at Walmart to check or just go through Steam lol! Again, thank you for your help! I'm genuinely shocked these are so difficult to find!
