I Want Game Time or Battle.net Balance

To purchase a WoW Token for Game Time or Battle.net Balance, select WoW Token while browsing the in-game Auction House. Once you click Buyout and confirm your purchase, your WoW Token will be mailed to you. Mail containing WoW Tokens do not expire.

After you've purchased a Token from the Auction House, right-click the item in your inventory to open the Redemption window. You can choose to redeem your Token for 30 days of Game Time or $15 of Battle.net Balance. If you are at or near the Battle.net Balance cap, you will not be able to redeem a Token for Battle.net Balance.

If you've run out of Game Time but you have a Token in a character’s inventory, you'll be able to use the WoW Token from the character select screen and add Game Time to any WoW game account on your Battle.net Account. If your Game Time has expired, you can purchase and consume a WoW Token directly from the character select screen. Each character on the selected realm will contribute gold to the price of buying the WoW Token, including gold in characters' mailboxes.
