"Zeevex For Dummies: The way of the Prepaid Card"

Postby Charmant » Mon Nov 08, 2010 7:26 am

Disclaimer: The purpose of this Guide is not to serve as advertisement and is not in any way part of the "...For Dummies" series.

*Exclusively for US "Alaplayans".

I've meddled around with Zeevex quite a lot over the weekend and found it to be a pretty reliable product: apprehensible and a no-brainer , a no-time consumer, and with occasional reward programs for consumers; in contrast to some prepaid payment methods provided by Alaplaya.
This guide will walk you through the path to becoming a "fully-fledged Zeev Jedi" and answer some few questions you may/might have about Zeevex vs UGCandMinions.


1. First, start by logging in into your Alaplaya account at http://en.alaplaya.net/, and proceed by either clicking the "upload ap" or the "Buy Ap" button on top of your screen.

Image

2. Among the various payment options presented to you, click "Zeevex virtual currency".

Image

3.a. Zeevex Prepaid Cards come in sets of 5, 10, 25 and 50 Dollars. We'll be using a $10 Prepaid card as example throughout this tutorial(The same process applies to the rest).

Image

b. After selection of your desired amount, click "Pay now" and wait to be redirected to the Zeevex main website.

Image


4.a. For a First time user, you are prompted to "sign up" and register a Zeevex account.

Image

Fill in the blank fields with the required informations.

Image

b. As a returning customer, You may receive the screen below, depending on how much "Tokens" you have available on your account. Just close the pop-up box and click "REDEEM A ZEEVEX CARD FOR MORE" to be able to enter a new Zeevex PIN.

Image

5.a. Redeem the prepaid Card by entering the 10-digit Zeevex PIN in the back of your card and clicking "Submit".Notice the Zeevex Cards retailing locations on the bottom of the screen(P.S: Concerning stores, Gamestop charges a tax fee on every card purchase, while places like Blockbuster and Walgreens will sell the Zeevex card at the same price as the amount on the card. In other words, a $10 Zeevex card will cost you exactly $10 at Blockbuster or Walgreens, but about $10.99(vary for each state) cents at Gamestop) .

Image

b. One of the coolest things i found about Zeevex, is the option to redeem more than one PIN number at once, by collapsing the "+" sign.(P.S: Not to be misunderstood. The same PIN cannot be used more than once.)

Image

6. "Complete Purchase" after approval of the PIN redeemed.

Image
Image

7. Wait to be redirected to Alaplaya and wait some few min for the AP to appear on your Alaplaya account.

Image


miscellaneous.Many people have considered Zeevex a rip-off, as it gives less AP per money as opposed to other payment services, taking the Ultimate Game Card(UGC) as example. In fact, a $10 UGC Card gives you 5700 AP, while you only get 5100 AP with a $10 USD Zeevex Card. Yes, the 600 AP difference is accountable... or maybe not if we take a much more closer look at things by doing some basic arithmetics. You earn 15 Bonus Points(BP) with a $10 Zeevex card while a UGC card of the same amount gives you 0 BP. Taking S4 League as example, where 15 BP converted to PEN equals 5000 PEN, we begin seeing a different side of the picture. Of course with the 600 AP difference of the UGC, one can get AP clothes and pants for a day, or even maybe 2 300AP fumbi capsules. But the later which is a gamble won't guarantee a bigger profit. So yes, in my opinion, Zeevex isn't as bad a deal as it might seem. Needless to say for Alaplaya games such as Loco, Avalon Heroes... where BP can't be converted, UGC would be a better option.

Here i conclude my somehow "serious" charade. I hope it was useful to you. Critics, "apports" as well as questions are more than welcome. Thanks.

Really nice.
Especially with explaining the pros and cons of the method.

They should make a sticked thread and put links to all available payment method guides in one place.

As I said in the news thread, Zeevex Cards convert a little less than other payment methods for us.

But since we know that a prepaid card in most cases is a) more reachable and b) way more secure than for ex. a credit-card, we decided to compensate for that by offering a little more BP for this.

Also compared to UGC you really get 100% of your ZVX tokens and don't have to consume a fee in the card itself.

Glad you like it, and thanks for the guide.

I'll sticky this for the time being until it settled into everybody. ;)

Something like that is planned indeed.
