What about Walgreens? We carry them in our store. You stated, select, but excluded us so i would assume we do not count, unless you just missed us in mentioning them?
Nice! Is there any legal issue if I purchase a card for an international friend and give him the number during the time, so he can redeem the station cash and gain the bonus?

Good for people to know that they are available at Walgreens, though I recall people having problems finding the cards last time round. Not at all sure where I could find them here in Canada...

Several people over at Free Realms purchased cards that were listed on this site and not FR's site during the last promotion, and they finally had to get on the phone with CS several times before the extra amounts were applied.
Actually, Walgreens wasn't on my list because I didn't know that Walgreens carried them and if it wasn't in the documentation that I had to draw information from to put this together, then I didn't include it. And no, there is no issue giving a friend the code to redeem during that time. Also, please note: The cards say Free Realms on them, but they can be used for EQ and EQII as well.

And I'm guessing this won't work for convenience of online purchasing station cash. Best Buy in my area, I tried last promo time to get a station cash card, but they very frequently can't connect to some server something to activate serial code products like SC cards, ah well.

The last cards I bought, which did work, I got from Block Buster Video. In my area (North Oklahoma City, OK), Best Buy and Walgreens did not have any nor did it look like they had a place reserved for them among similar cards.
Personally, I think it stinks that those cards are/seem only available in the USA. This once again leaves out us in Europe/outside of the USA. Why not give a % bonus on digitally bought StationCash as well??

I still wish they'd put EQ2's name SOMEWHERE on the card. And any other game that this SC is good for. For some reason that snide overbearing jerk of a squirrel kinda ticks me off.
