Sims 3 Worlds Bundle: Monte Vista Code not working

Hi all, I've been having some issues with my purchase of The Sims 3 Worlds Bundle. Specifically, issues with the game code for Monte Vista already being redeemed. From my multiple attempts of troubleshooting when I first purchased the bundle back in 2023 to today having spoken to three different agents about getting the issue resolved. I was wondering if any one would be able to help me figure this out. I am no longer eligible for a refund, which I don't want. I just want to be able to utilize the world since I don't want to just eat $10 dollars. I somehow have access to Hidden Springs and the Chocolate Fountain, but not the Monte Vista world. The most recent agent I spoke to suggested posting here to get the word out that this is going on and I hope from the research I've done that either this has been figured out by the community or that this issue can be corrected at a higher level. Thank you for your time!

    BlooTears​ Thanks for the details on this! I'm afraid live support no longer has a way to replace these world codes or grant the world to your EA account- in the event that your code was auto-redeemed, a refund on the purchase is what we'd look into. However, a refund is only able to be submitted back to the original payment method, so if that's been removed and you no longer have that card, the refund would fail.

    Hi EA_Solaire​ , I unfortunately do not have the original payment method that I used for the purchase. I apologize for the long-winded story but when I first made the purchase in 2023, I contacted support and that wasn't offered at first with the agent I spoke with for some reason and unfortunately I gave up at that point and forgot about it. This year I got back into playing The Sims 3 and I realized recently that I still didn't have access to the pack. During my recent attempts at contacting support, I was told I could get a refund but I don't have access to the original payment method so they would leave a notice with the higher ups and hopefully someone could get back to me. Honestly speaking, I don't want the refund. I would like to be issued a new game code for the world since it has some cool gameplay mechanics that I'd like to play with, and especially so because the card I used for it I no longer have access to.

    Heya BlooTears​,

    You'd still be eligible for a refund on this with the code being auto-redeemed before you could use it. Do you still have the original payment method on your account that you purchased this bundle with?
