YoVille gift cards became available in October 2009. The gift cards sell for $10.00 and were originally only available at Target. In November 2009 7-Eleven, GameStop, and Best Buy stores also began carrying YoVille gift cards. In Target, the cards are often located in the area where music and CDs are sold. At 7 Eleven, YoVille gift cards should be located in the gift card display area along with other gift cards.http://www.yoville.com/blog/?m=20091118 These gift cards are only available in the United States.http://www.yovillian.com/2009/12/yoville-gift-cards-2/
YoVille gift cards have a code that can be redeemed for YoCoins or YoCash in the popular social networking game YoVille. The YoVille cards must be activated upon purchase.http://www.yoville.com/faq After the card is activated online, a player may have to wait as long as four hours before the funds appear in the player's YoVille account.http://www.yoville.com/faq
To redeem the card, players can click the tab that says "Get more YoCash/YoCoins." From here a Zynga Secure Payment page will pop up and it will have payment options. The option for the YoVille Game Card should be selected under the "Select Payment Method" at the bottom of the screen and then the card number can be entered.
YoVille on Facebook: YoCoins and YoCash
YoCoins and YoCash are the official currency in the YoVille game on Facebook. YoVille is a virtual world where players can work, earn YoCoins, buy houses, furniture, home decor, gifts, clothes, hairstyles and more. YoCash is more valuable than YoCoins and with it players can buy exclusive items that are only sold in exchange for YoCash. Both YoCash and YoCoins can be earned by playing mini-games, working in the "Widget Factory," visiting friends and participating in activities or giving gifts to neighbors. Extra YoCoins and YoCash can also be acquired by filling out surveys or signing up for special offers.http://www.yoville.com/forum/viewforum.php?id=26

YoVille Apartments
This video is a showcase of apartments on YoVille. The video begins with a shot of the basic apartment, and then starts a slide show of different users' creativity. There are many different types and styles, including beaches, Egyptian tombs, two and three story apartments, with and without patios, and some with guests visiting. There is even a wedding chapel, an indoor pool and a maze! Some users have managed to make their apartments look larger than others with the addition of stairs and additional floors. The decorations in the apartments can be purchased with YoCash and YoCoins that were exchanged for a YoVille gift card.
