Creating an account

Dear Support,
I would like to know is it possible for me to purchase an account for my son electronically via CC?
As we live in different countries, is this possible? With the Original, I purchased the hard copy and gave my son the code. Also with EON and Factions. Since I have bought many, many Gems, I thought this was possible, and I believe Deluxe is account bound.
If I have to buy a hard copy and give my son the code, that is no problem. I would just prefer a less time consuming effort..
Thanks for your time

Inculpatus cedo.9234:
If you are both in the same region, you can purchase the game through buy.guildwars2.com and send him the code that comes in the ‘thank you for purchasing’ email, wherein he will register the game with his email address.
Or, if you prefer, buy a hard copy.

This is correct. The only issue is purchasing an EU copy and trying to register it in a non-EU area of the world. You can play there with an EU-registered code, but you need the code and the region to match up upon registration.

We have had many people purchase a code through buy.guildwars2.com and send it to him; that has been done many times with success. I would encourage you to NOT purchase a code elsewhere, as there are fraudulent sellers who will take the money but give you an invalid code.
