I want to buy GT in 2 hours but am still unsure if I should (and can) used my credit card in the EA App or if I use an Amazon gift card from christmas. Anyways the question is: are they any infos if the bonus content will be automatically delivered to all buyers this time or will Amazon and other buyers have to talk to the customer service again?

@alanmichael1 considering how much trouble you had with Amazon last time, as well as how long it took to resolve, I'd say go with the credit card. Or use Paypal if you have an account and have enough money in the account linked to it.

I generally use gift cards from EA (used to be origin gift cards) or paysafe cards. Both are available at a local supermarket. No need to enter a credit card. Now if EA ever allows debit cards like maestro I will pay online. But until then I will stick to the methods listed above.

@alanmichael1 For the 2 factor verification it may work correctly if you buy directly from the EA Sims site, this is what I'll probably do as I just know the App won't display that pop up and it'll go wrong for me. I suspect the site may be more secure.

I just bought the pack and when I got an email confirmation it showed it kind of separate but with the word 'included':https://dl.dropbox.com/s/nkwgh67zvj90q05/Screenshot%202023-03-16%20192458.jpg?dl=0Edit: where's my manners? thank you @Bluegayle

Certainly a good advice, but the last time I wanted to use my Visa card, the EA App was unable to execute the European two-step-verification system. I never had this problem on Origin before.

Thank you, I will try this next time. For all other Amazon buyers: I didn't find the bonus content in my game although there is even an advertisement for it on the Amazon product page:

Eek, I bought it through the EA App and it kept my card details, including the security code, and I didn't want it to. When I went to buy a kit afterwards it just instantly took the payment without any verification and I do not like that in case my account got hacked.

Does anyone know a way I can remove my payment information?

How did you EA buyers get the bonus content? Was it included in the pack or is it a stand-alone pack?
