Curious how to pay direct.
If the subscription is X but you can buy game time codes for less than X who is paying the full price? Where do the game time codes come from, are they valid, is it a risk? The difference per year is A LOT. I am curious. Is there an official option to get a subscriptiopn at the secondary market price?

That is, the exact same Game Time code, to my understanding, has a different price depending on which Country it is sold in..... this, I imagine, because of the different cost of living across the world.
Too bad that then, they get resold for a profit thus depriving the Company that sold them of part of the profits and giving them to "middlemen" who purchased them in those Countries and then resold them to players from Countries where they cost a lot more....
This happens a lot also with "physical" goods..... there is Trading companies who buy stuff in countries where they are sold at a cheaper price and then move them over to other countries where these same items are sold at a much higher price....
Hell, even airplane tickets can have a huge price difference.... there can be 2 passengers seated one by the side of the other, but having spent for their ticket way, but sometimes waaaaaaaaay differently.....
This should not be, to my opinion. The Price of an items should be that price, period, regardless of where it is sold in the World.
for some reason you still can’t buy from South Korea, they have to use third party resellers”
So why have regionalization different pricing at all ?
Buying 6-mo codes using a credit card with good cash back off Origin with the EA Play 10% discount is a good legit way to get the cheap(er).

Not sure I would buy a code from a third party seller. Last time I looked the savings were a best nominal just a dollar or 2. Not worth the risk.
I did look at what these sold for online a few years ago when I started and found most third party sellers had them for sale for the same price EA sells them for or close to it. Don’t really know how to use a currency exchange to buy these. How much can you save on a six month coupon?
