if you want 10k nx then spend the 12.66 dollars for it

Just buy it with USD before you start another thread with "Why did I only get 7.9k NX"

Here is the reasoning:
[quote=Traitor]As stated before many times:

This example will be in Canadian currency.
So let's say $.82 USD = $1.00 CAD
This would mean $8.20 USD = $10.00 CAD

However, the banks will charge a fee for currency conversion, much the same as paypal charges you to convert currencies.

10k CAD nx = 7.9k meaning that $.03 from each dollar is taken for that conversion cost. Basically what this means is, no matter where you're from you will be paying the USD amount for the code + the conversion fee amount. [i]What this means is that every other country that is purchasing NX has actually been paying less than the value for the codes.[/i]

However, personally I believe that they should've upped the prices to match that of a 10k code, so the 10k code = 10k code but would cost a higher amount in CAD. This is so the code amounts stay the same and we can avoid confusion in the Cash Shop, not having to charge another who card for something that costs 8k nx because the codes only give you 7.9k.

Pricing would be the same, just that up the amounts to match the codes. Everyone will be paying in terms of USD now.

Before the CAD codes were about $8 USD for 10k nx, in terms of pricing that rough estimate of $8 USD = $10 CAD. Thus, every country was essentially getting away with buying cheaper NX. The standards of living in every country is different. This change was made to accompany that. Though not a lot of people are satisfied with this, they did it to make it a bit more "fair". However, many people in America were also abusing this by purchasing codes from other countries.

Personally, I'm sad to see the cheaper NX go but this change is understandable.

[b]Note:[/b] I'm not sure how much simpler I can make it, I pretty much spelled out the reason for everything is layman's terms. A dollar in America is only worth $.82 in Canada.[/quote]
