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 ...

    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.

Yes deleted from both EA's and SWTOR's logs and retried while allowing SWTOR to save my account information and still failed despite continuing to successfully grab a dollar from my bank/card. I've been looking into this issue since November now and there doesn't seem to be much of a rational recourse aside from luck and patience (yet nearly 2 months worth of patience didn't solve my problem). I think the rational solution is to not rely on Bioware's services.

@gingervitus777 

I wonder have you checked if the EA account you have is actually the linked account ? that maybe why removing and re-adding failed

just trying to cover all possibilities
