Get cheaper WoW gametime (via Battle.Net)

[impulse102]

19/10/2014 - I can't really verify game time anymore as I bought 6 months in advance, but still works on paid services (just did a character transfer). My account was already set to use BRL from USD, individual results may vary.
08/11/2014 - Adjusted post to reflect that game time is no longer obtainable this way, only character services

Hey Everyone,

Simply by using BRL (BRAZIL REAL) as your currency, you can buy cheaper game time.

This was tested against AUD (AUSTRALIAN DOLLAR), so:
6 Months of game time in AUD 85.80 (75.0048 USD), whereas
6 Months of game time in BRL is 78.00 BRL which is 36.5844 AUD (31.9801 USD)
That's nearly 50% cheaper.

To achieve this, we simply login to our Battle.Net account, Go To Settings > My Payment Options.
On the right hand side, next to "Account Balance', you can 'Change Currency'.
Simply select Brazilian Real, and that's it.
Picture for clarification:


You can then go to your account, and use that to use character services cheaper than you usually would

This is fantastic, thanks! +3 rep.

FYI, also works on server transfer/faction change. Comes out to like $11.50.

Been using this for a while now but unfortunately now it's public (posted here anyway) I'm assuming it'll get patched soon.

I was using it to sell cheap gametime for US when we could use RMAH in Diablo to "launder" gold to b.net balance.

Also it worked on EU when you changed currency to RUB (Russian currency). Didnt use it for long time so no idea if its still working on EU.

You found this in a guild's facebook group didn't you?

One form of currency cannot be converted into another, and some currencies may not be used in some regions. For example, account balance in USD can only be used on the North American regional site (us.battle.net). More Info

thats what it says when i clock change currency, fixed?

As vegoo already mentioned, this was around since more than a year, and we successfully were feeding US WOW accounts with basicly free gametime/accounts/upgrades/transfers on US Region, just by using Brazil RMAH, after closing the RMAH business, this was still up, for more than 2x cheaper the entire Battle.net portfolio of services in BRL currency (Brazilian Real).
