Swift Zhevra Mount Free(With time)

[Sklug]

Ok, SO, I purchased a copy of WOW like 9 months ago, did the recruit a friend thing to myself. The game was only 19.95. Plus you had to pay for a full month of game time $14.95. I was thinking I was gonna start duel-boxing. Well, I changed my mind after I had already registered the account. So, I called Blizzard and asked if there was a way I could get a refund. What they said was YES, I just had to send Blizzard the original box, copy of receipt, and a brief paper with the reason why I didn't want to play anymore with a return address.

After doing this I got a full refund(including tax) back in the mail in the form of a check, for both game time and the actual game. I had totally forgot about it. It took about 3 weeks. BUT, I was messing around in my "account management" and noticed that under the "recruit a friend" tab it still said I had 1 reward, which of course was the zhevra mount. I had always assumed I wouldn't be able to get it because the account was never actually logged into and was completely refunded.

YES, I know I should've made screenshots, but I am in a hurry between classes atm, and my point is, you can probably go buy the game, activate the account, then send it back to blizzard saying you got the wrong game and you can't return it now because it's been activated and you would like a refund, to which they will do.

This may be more effort than many people are willing to do, but I got my Zhevra mount at the only cost of shipping a small package back to blizzard(like$4). Worth it, imo, for 3 weeks of waiting.

im pretty sure if people start doing this they will get suspicious and not do it.
also, i would class this as a GM involving exploit.

I don't really think of it as a GM exploit, as you probably don't even need to call Blizzard, just make sure you include the game, receipt, account info, and return address to which you would like your check mailed to. You don't want the game, you get a refund. That's just customer service. Yet, for whatever reason, the person who recruited the account still gets the zhevra mount though the account was refunded fully. Sounds like a win. =p

imo ''WoW Exploits Exploits Section for World of Warcraft'' <-- speaks for itself...

Other than that its a creative way to claim a free mount...

Interesting. I'm sure they'll change this if too many people ask for refunds, but thanks for the heads up. I probably won't be using it, though, I have way too many accounts as it is. Lol.

Sounds tricky and seems like legal issues are involved.

It's actually quite simple:

1. Use Refer a Friend & Buy Classic WoW & a gamecard.
2. Send the receipts and boxes (classic WoW / gamecard) to Blizz with a note with a reason as to why you want a refund.
3. They cut you a check and mail it to you, and you keep the RAF Mount (zhevra) on your main account.

I dont think the mount is worth of all this :P

That's a matter of opinion, though. For some people who are trying to conserve their money, this might be very valuable.

It saves you like $45.99 (including deduction for shipping).

Ya know it takes two months paid on the new account for the old account to get the mount right?

I dont see how this works if you did not pay for the two months.

It just takes 1 month paid -- Now I did this like I said like 9 months ago -- so they MAY have changed this but I don't think so

It was just 1 month paid...

[darkriderking]

um buy the month play for a week get to 60 then return two for one?

[shaman666]

OR, you could simple get a friend.

c'mon, socializing isn't that hard

I like the fact that no one thought of the consequenses when the same address / person sends in a game once a week cause be bought the wrong one... this is completely lame and no they wont refond anything tried it myself with 3/5 accounts..

Actually yes they will refund -- you are only doing it once. Blizzard allows mult-boxing so it is OK to do this with multiple accounts. So YES they will refund as they did mine.
