unable to purchase bioware points FOR YEARS (NU2001)
The last time I was able to sucessfully purchase BW Points was Oct 2011! (must've been for ME2 DLC) Since then I've had error message after error message. I've tried to use every payment card I own and paypal too. To no avail.
I called EA last week, was given a case number and informed I'd be contacted within a couple of days..... No joy as yet.
If Origin can't take my money, scrap the Bioware Points and let us have the DLC for free!
Sorry, but I'm at my wits end now. It may seem frivolous, but I'm in the middle of attempting a fully paid for, all missions, all stuff, perfect run through of the Mass Effect trilogy. Got all my ME1 DLC, got all my ME2..... I'm playing through ME2 at the moment, fast approaching the end and I'm counting SIX ME3 DLC I still need to get. Come on! Help me out here!
Please excuse my rant.
Yours faithfully

I can fully relate how frustrating this must be. Have you tried on another PC or maybe a friend can lend you his credit card for you to try?
I've also found a UK-seller that has bioware points on sale here for £ 13,66, you'll get the key via e-mail. I haven't bought from them, but friends have and they were satisfied with their service.
If it's too risky for you, Amazon Germany also ships to the UK for 3,75 € extra charge, plus 14,99 € for the bioware points (current price, I've also seen it go as low as 13,99 €) resulting in 17,74 € total, so a bit over £15, don't know how expensive this is compared to buying it via Origin. You could save on shipping charges if you bought 2 boxes, as the shipping costs are calculated on a weight-basis and as long as it doesn't exceed 1kg, you're still looking at 3,75 € shipping. You can login with the same credentials you use for amazon.co.uk and use the saved shipping information and payment options.
Other than that, I'm afraid I'm out of ideas.
Good luck with the Shadow Broker - give him hell! 🙂
