Lately within the last year I've noticed alot of stores in Canada seem to stop carrying Karma Koin cards. Stores ranging to EBgames aka Gamestop, 7eleven, and most grocery stores seem to not have them as much, or none at all.

Is anyone else having this issue?

    Lol, pfff. Such thing as Karma Koin doesn't exist in my country. xD That's why i go and buy those online. Good, fast and trusted website Offgamers sell them in 10$ and even up to 100$, both Global and Canadian cards.

    I have not really noticed if the number of Karma Koin cards have decreased in the US or not but I will take a closer look next time I visit a store that usually sells them. buying them online may look like a little bit of scam cause you are buying a random code online that you get emailed to you and you are just expected to trust the seller that it is real and will work. however it does actually work out quite well as long as you are buying it from a reliable seller and website. payments for just about anything can be done online these days so it makes sense if stores are not selling a product that can be bought much faster online.

    In the U.S., Rite Aid (if you're familiar with that particular pharmacy) stopped carrying them a few years back. Or at least I haven't been able to find them at any of the locations I've visited in years. Karma Koin still has them listed on their website, though. :/ Hope that was somewhat useful.

    I only see Karma Koin at Fred Meyer's grocery store anymore (in Washington).
    Offgamers looks pretty cool! I'd never seen an online seller that didn't charge like 72 bucks for a 50 dollar card or something super stupid like that, so I'd just absolutely cut it as an option to look at. I don't really understand the price discrepancy with Global/CA though, since I don't know what's to stop everyone from just buying and using CA equally.

    I noticed this too, I went through 3 different 7-11's and 2 different London Drugs and they don't stock them anymore. I've been seeing it for years and wanted to buy them recently cause of the event partners but nope. I bought them from online through Offgamers (Official Online Karma Koin Distributor) cause it was on sale. Just a warning though, $10 Canadian coin is 7800k nx

    A helpful thing for you all, Paypal has their 'gift card' system which allows you to buy Karma Koin cards now online as a prepaid code.

    When I talked to the Gamestop people, they said that they still stock them. Strangely enough, though, their computers told them they were "in stock" when in reality they didn't have any left.

    Have to plug PC Game Supply like someone above. They don't overcharge for the cost of the card and never had any bad codes from them.

    Offgamers is a good website too. They even have promo sales which help you to save like a couple of dollars.

    Back when they were still called Nexon Cards (in Los Angeles, US area), I was able to buy some at a supermarket. After the name change to Karma Koin, I've only received 1 as a gift. Every store I go to and I look at the card section, it does not exist.

    ?? Well I'm not sure.. With more and more businesses going to online feedback...you would think...but a lot of times they have you visit and reply and they never do anything. Still worth a shot....

    karmakoin.com/

    If you look at the FAQ....You can request they re-instate the cards. Best of luck. karmakoin.com/faqs

    You would think with a vast list of games you can use it on that ppl would buy more of them. Not sure anymore since quite a handful still use Paypal and such? -shrugs-

    I surprisingly found some at a Ralphs over the weekend.
    But I wonder for Canada, can the ongoing trade dispute with the US cause vendors to decrease their inventories of Karma Koin?
