Buying codes with ingame gold is pretty much like buying stuff with someone else's money. I would be pretty surprised if that was allowed..

Then again i haven't seen the second set of rules yet :-)

It's not allowed and that has been covered time and time again by Blues. This has been the case for some time.

As this is referring to a Game Card, as in you purchased pre-paid time for a World of Warcraft account — and therefore it is only a real-world currency reference, and are unable to do anything with it in-game — I would recommend avoiding doing this. This could very easily be considered the same thing as purchasing gold for real world currency — as you essentially are.

Just to reiterate:

Selling time cards for in-game gold is in violation of our Terms of Use and can result in account action up to account closure. Please refrain from participating in such sales and let us know if you witness any such transactions by opening an in-game petition.

Thanks!

Q u o t e:
this guy was spamming in trade "WTB 60 day gamecard 5k gold pst!"

is that allowed in WoW?

This particular transaction would be seen as an exchange of real-world items for in-game currency, something which is currently against the Terms of Use. For reference, the related section of the Terms of Use is available here:

Don't ever cross RL and ingame things, Schubert.

Game Cards are a RL item, ingame gold is well - ingame.

Not to mention this is ripe for scamming.
It is NOT the same as trading the INGAME code for a TCG mount or item

Q u o t e:
The TCG loot cards have a code (RL code) that is turned into an in-game code when you enter it online. The RL code can't be sold for gold, but the in-game code can be.

The game time cards only have a RL code, no conversion to an in-game code, so that is why they're not allowed yet the loot card in-game code is.

You hit the nail on the head. :)

While unsupported, selling the loot code used in-game to redeem an in-game reward from the collectible card game is not considered in violation of our policies at this time. Selling a gametime code in-game, however, is in violation of our policies as this is not an in-game transaction; please refrain from participating in such transactions.
