Look, if you’re still paying full price for LifeAfter Credits through the standard app store, you’re essentially leaving money on the table. As someone who’s spent way too much time optimizing gacha spend and resource management, I’ve realized that the official way isn't always the smartest way.

Enter NetEase Pay (often called Pudding Pay). It’s basically a universal prepaid PIN system that lets you bypass the headache of linking a credit card directly to your game account. If you Buy NetEase Pay code via Buffget, you’re looking at an immediate 2% discount across the board. Think about it: a $100 card for $98.00. It doesn't sound like a fortune, but in a game where every Credit counts toward that next gear upgrade, those savings add up fast.

The Math: Why the Exchange Rate Matters

Here’s the deal: NetEase Pay cards offer a better ROI (Return on Investment) simply because the entry cost is lower than the face value. Buffget has this tiered pricing thing going on—$4.90 for a $5 card, $9.80 for $10, and so on.

(Editor’s Note: While 2% is the baseline, the real win here is that these rates apply to all LifeAfter Credits and usually stack with those juicy first-time purchase bonuses. You won't find that kind of flexibility in a standard App Store transaction.)

How the Redemption Actually Works

It’s surprisingly painless. You log into the official NetEase GamesClub (pay.neteasegames.com), punch in your Card Number and PIN, and select NetEase Pay at checkout.

What I personally like about Buffget is how they handle the NetEase card balance. They support everything from Binance Pay and USDT to traditional credit cards. It’s a lifesaver for players dealing with regional payment restrictions—and yes, it works instantly for both iOS and Android. No more waiting for pending transactions while your teammates are already out raiding.

The Breakdown: Gift Cards vs. In-Game Store

• NetEase Pay Gift Card: You get that 2% average saving, a full year of code validity, and the ability to stack balances for big-ticket items

. Plus, you aren't handing your sensitive bank info over to a game server.

• In-Game Store: You’re paying full price. Every time. And you’re forced to keep a card linked to your account, which—let’s be honest—is a recipe for accidental overspending.

A Few Pro Rules to Live By

Don't skip the fine print here. You must ensure your card currency matches your game store region. If you try to mix them, you’ll hit a Currency Mismatch error, and nobody wants that. Also, while the codes themselves expire after a year, once those credits are in your game account, they’re yours forever. They don't expire. Just double-check your User ID and Server before hitting redeem—once a PIN is activated, it’s locked to that account.

Maximizing Your Haul

If you’re eyeing a high-cost furniture set or a VIP membership, my advice is to stack multiple codes on your GamesClub balance. Keep an eye out for Buffget’s promotional periods, especially on the $50 and $100 denominations, to squeeze out every bit of value. Using secure gateways like Binance Pay or Gate Pay also keeps things anonymous and encrypted, which is a nice bonus for the privacy-conscious among us.
