Can you purchase points with an Origin Wallet card then?

They don't sell those in my country, I would assume yes but you could always use EA's Chat feature and ask directly to know for certain.
Well... finally they issued a 30% reduction on everything, including Bioware points.

DLC like Citadel is now 10.5 instead of 15. Still a lot, but now it might be worth getting (a second time).

I don't see any discount. On social.bioware.com Mass Effect 3 Citadel DLC is 1200 BW points, and to purchase that it requires 12 Euro.

In Origin there´s a 30% checkout code.

Can't use it on BioWare points.

Well, it worked for me. Didn't complete the checkout though. But you shouldn't buy the points: buy the DLC directly.

I can't find a listing for it (the DLC) on the Origin client. Do you have to go to Origin via browser?

*edit* Nevermind. Origin's cryptic DLC purchasing defeated my idiocy for a while. Found it, and it appears the discount applies to purchsing the DLC through the game client. Thanks for the heads up!

WTF?!
Since when are 800 Bioware points worth 10€.
Last time I bought 800 points they were at 8 or so €'s. -_-
So from what I've gotten from this thread & playing around in Origin, you can indeed buy bioware points with the (ORIGIN30) 30% off code. You have to do it through the client, you go to the game in question, find the DLC you want, click Buy Now, and enter the code. You can buy more points than the DLC requires, but apparently not more than 1600 at a time. It's also worth noting that the code did not work when I tried to use it on Mass Effect 2 DLC. However it did accept the code for Dragon Age: Origins & Mass Effect 3 DLC.

So all that being said, does anyone know if it's possible to buy more than 1600 points at a time? I'd rather not make a bunch of purchases if I can do it all at once. I'm unclear on whether the coupon is even reusable.

Also, any thoughts on the value of the Mass Effect DLC? I know it's been fairly highly rated, but I'm a little reluctant to throw so much money at this. (A little over $50, down from roughly $75 for Arrival, Lair of the Shadow Broker, Overlord, Kasumi, Leviathan, Omega, & Citadel.) Am I being too cheap about this, or should I jump on this deal while I can?

Not possible, as far as I could figure out.

You can. I bought three DLC for ME3 and had to do each transaction separately. The code worked for each one.

From what I've read and from talking to my daughter about them, these are worth it:

Arrival, Lair of the Shadow Broker, Kasumi.

She thought Overlord was just 'meh'.

These ones I just bought tonight, so have no personal experience with them, nor does my daughter:

Leviathan, Omega, & Citadel.

But from what I've been reading, Omega seems to be regarded as the weakest. The other two seem to be fairly highly regarded. Although make sure you read the description of Citadel, as it doesn't drive the story forward or add anything to it. It seems it's just good fun around the end of the game and was intended by BioWare as more lighthearted fanservice.

Thanks & +1 for the input. This is the "best" deal I've ever seen on this, so I figured I may as well pull the trigger. We'll see how long Murphy's Law takes to bring around a better discount now that I've picked them up. ;)

I'm in the same boat. Bought ME3 almost 4 years ago (got a good deal on it on Amazon, IIRC) but haven't played it since I was waiting to get the DLC at a reasonable price (silly me). Even though this is more than I really wanted to cough up for it, I figured I may as well grab it now. I think it's time I finally finished the series.

Thank you very much! I was waiting for any discount to finally get the DLC. I appreciate the transaction help and the advice on the specific DLC to get.
Given I've already played everything (except Citadel) - as I have it on console - I can say Lair of the Shadow Broker was one of my favorite DLC's. The Kasumi mission was also fun and something different, but I'm not going to buy that again. I don't quite remember Omega, which is probably a bad sign.

I just got Citadel.
