Error 202

FYI.

The Upgrades server is separated from the game time server, and is much more finicky.

IF you are trying to purchase or upgrade the game from a country, city or large enough area away from where your CC is, or where you have put in your address, you will get an error. you can call their account mgmt and ask for a manual charge on your CC, but the system wont allow it.

not sure if this is the problem, but you should be aware that this will not work.

The same credit card worked minutes before for the standard WoW purchase so isn't that.

Second attempt ended with the same result and I really cant be bothered holding for ages, repeating all my details etc again and again.

I managed to find standalone BC on the net so have purchased that with a battlechest.

Was hoping to be 5boxing this weekend but looks like it will have to wait.

everytime I upgrade an account online my bank calls me or shuts my credit card down. Then to top it off Blizzard puts a 3 day hold on the upgrade going though.

sorry, no perls of wisdom here other than go and buy the boxed version of the upgrade. it's the same price and it works immediately.

Wow hearing all of this i feel really lucky that my phone call worked. I was upset that i was getting the error. I asked them to manually enter it in. I worked to upgrade to BC. I upgrade to regular fine then got error when i tried to upgrade to BC. Then i had a whole nother account to upgrade. On that one they got an error too... i just had them try again a few times and for whatever reason it worked. I wanted the tweak taken off my card so i could use it and they said it was from my bank. I called my bank and they said it wasn't them and it was blizz. So i called them again... but they weren't really helpful... they kept saying it was my bank.

They did get the upgrades over the phone. I don't even try to upgrade via comp anymore i just buy boxes.
