Now What??

[WhiteWolf]

I went to my local Target to buy Neocash cards for the Stocking Stufftacular, and they were out! If that were the only problem, I could deal with it. The real trouble is that they have stopped selling them altogether. Now what??

Walmart sells them. If you have one nearby, try them.

This was asked in the Neopian TImes, Issue 708, 20th day of Storing, y17:

 

"Hi there Neopets peeps! Do you have any information on where to still buy NC Cards? The stores listed on the Mall tab are not accurate...CVS, Rite Aid, Blockbuster(out of business), fye(out of business)Walmart, Target(being discontinued as I write this)ToysRUs, are no longer carrying cards...with the problems buying from the site, users are getting shortchanged...any advice or good news for where we can still get NC? Thanks very much, and please remove my username. ~ username removed
Whoa, Blockbuster? Yep, seems that page could use an update! I'll have someone look into it! For now though, some of those do still carry NC Cards, as well as some new ones not listed yet, they just may not have them at your local store. Target is not being discontinued (in fact, in a month, Target has a small bonus for their NC Card sales – stay tuned!) If none of your local stores carry them, there are multiple retailers who sell cards online as well, including Walmart from your list above!"

 

Unfortunately, I know this may not be very helpful, especially if your local Target is no longer selling them. But, as ladycanary mentioned, Wal-Mart does carry them, and as TNT stated above, you can purchase Neocash cards online from "multiple retailers", Wal-Mart included. Please note, I an not endorsing Wal-Mart or promoting their items. It may be a possible solution that works for you, or not.

I bought some at 7-11 a couple of years ago, but I don't know if they still carry them. Haven't looked in a while since I always buy NC online at this point.

It's worth pointing out that there's an advantage to buying "cards" online and getting the code in your email instead of directly purchasing neocash from the Mall, and that's the bonus items you can get using the code.

I called a long-time friend at a GameStop near my house. He says GameStop still sells the cards. Why didn't I think of this sooner? In case you're wondering, I've known this guy at GameStop since Electronics Boutique was the place to go for gaming and software.

I, too, thought of GameStop. I went to their online site, but Neocash Cards were not found. However, glad you found another source! Maybe they will be one of the new retailers listed. Sorry I didn't mention it, though.

Sometimes they sell things in-store, like gaming cards, that they don't show online. It might be worth it to call or go GameStop, and see if they have the cards.

 

The way things are going, I think JS is looking to discontinue the cards altogether. That's just a theory though. I'm hoping they will put out some new desgns in the event they don't discontinue the cards.
