Buying multiple "Standard Edition" on Origin instead of game time thru Bioware
I've been having difficulty purchasing either CC, a two month one time sub, or a recurring subscription through Bioware's SWTOR website with both a credit card and a debt card and have been in touch with support the whole time to no avail, so I'm looking for other options. I'm a former subscriber. I don't particularly want to buy 60 or 90 days time through cards if I don't have to, I want 30 days. Regardless of what I want, there aren't any stores selling prepaid cards near me anyways so it's a moot point.
I know I can make successful purchases through Origin, so I was wondering if it would be possible for me to just buy and then rebuy "Standard Edition" versions of SWTOR (link at the bottom of post) from Origin when I choose to get more game time; it includes 30 days time, usual subscriber 500 CC allowance, and recent expansions. It looks like it's just selling game time but it doesn't call it that, it looks more like it's trying to sell me an instance of the game with one month's sub, despite actually just being a normal one month subscription.
If I bought this once, would I be able to apply this purchase to my existing preferred account? If I bought this a second time, would it apply like a normal prepaid sub to that same account?

I ended up buying 2 $20 EA Game Cards from Walmart.com, as nowhere seems to stock digital codes of SWTOR 60 day or physical ones near me. With this I can get a 60 day sub from SWTOR.com and $10 left over, maybe for CC maybe something else entirely, Idk yet. Not an efficient deal but I did get my sub despite Bioware's bug that has apparently been around since launch. What really should have happened once this bug wasn't fixed after a few years, was shifting the subscription services over to EA (or to have continued selling 60 day passes on EA's store) so people could just pay through EA when Bioware's service was busted.
