Why does Nexon love Prepaid cards?
#1
I don't get it. There's a lot of Prepaid card only stuff. Gach under 30, the meso bags (This, I like), and MTS. What do they get out of them, taxes? Rolleyes

It's what they don't get from prepaid cards that makes them so attractive.

They don't get credit card fraud.

Nexon loves money. Cards are in Target and other places, which are fairly common.
People too lazy/ unable to get paypal accounts can buy these.
Prepaid cards= less work on Nexon's part(They can mass-produce them)

It's also a lot more accessible to lower age brackets than paypal.

Yeah, when stores buy NX cards from Nexon, Nexon gets paid for every dollar of NX that goes out. Even if people steal from the store, it's the store that loses, not Nexon.

Way more potential for fraud with Paypal.

How much fraud do they get? ._.
If this were anyone but Nexon, I'd guess one in ten charges is a fraud by the benefits they give to Cards. D;

Well apparently they had enough cases of fraud to ban all Israeli Paypal accounts.

It really alienates those of us whose local stores can't be bothered to actually CARRY NX cards. The 7-11 and Target near me don't even sell them. The guy that runs the 7-11 has no idea what they are, so I doubt he's ever had them to sell, and the Target just brushes me off with a "Oh, we must be out of stock" answer.

It really sucks that a good portion of things I'd like to purchase, I can't, without a prepaid card. I do work full-time and have limited time to play Maple in the first place, between work and family... I don't like being told my money's not good enough.

One actual reason NX cards give more benefits is the pressure from retail stores such as Target. Target does not want you to buy something that they have in their store that has more benefits than what they are selling, elsewhere. Target sells the cards to get people in the actual Target store(same reason there are Target advertisements in the game). Cards are generally not the best thing for the store to be selling (they take up a decent bit of space and don't give that much profit to the store), but the fact is they get people to come to Target that normally wouldn't (like myself when I could only get NX at Target.)

Retail stores such as Target not only want to have benefits on products such as NX Cards, but often other things such as video games. The recently released Shaun White's Snowboarding game came with an extra mountain if you bought it at Target. Games such as Warhawk and the most recent SOCOM game on the PS3 came with headsets to give more incentive to buying them in a store, rather than downloading them for a bit cheaper off the Playstation Network.

td;lr Nexon gives more benefits to game cards because of pressure from retail.
