Genshin Impact 7.2: Banners, Codes, and Login Rewards

HoYoverse hosted the Genshin Impact 7.2 livestream and revealed what's coming in November: new banners, events, and story chapters. If you top up from a country where foreign-issued cards often fail, it's also a good moment to sort out payments — more on that below.

What we know about version 7.2

HoYoverse announced the release date and banner lineup during the stream. Check the official channels for exact dates and characters, as schedules can change. Here's what to verify before launch so you don't miss the wishing window.

• Release date — November; the exact day is in the official announcement.
• Banners — who runs in the first and second phase and until when is published in the official schedule.
• Livestream codes — usually time-limited; redeem right after the stream.
• Events — seasonal events with rewards; login rewards are listed in each event's in-game description.

Why this matters for payments

A new patch means new wishes, the Battle Pass, and the Welkin Moon subscription. All of these are bought in-game, and players in some countries hit a wall: a payment may fail because of the card's region or payment system restrictions. A virtual card solves this: issue a card in the payment system you need, top it up, and pay like any other purchase.

How to pay for Genshin Impact purchases with a virtual card

• Issue a virtual Visa or Mastercard in your VirtCardPay account.
• Top up with a buffer: the purchase price plus a little extra for currency conversion if the card and payment currencies differ.
• In-game, open the shop, pick the pack or subscription, and enter the card details.
• Confirm the payment. If the issuer requests 3-D Secure, enter the code from the notification.

Keep a small buffer on the card: if the charge is in another currency, the final amount may differ slightly due to the exchange rate. After purchase, confirm the payment went through and keep the receipt in case you need to contact support.

If the payment fails

• Check that the card has enough funds, including possible conversion.
• Make sure the card is active and not expired.
• Try another in-game payment method or retry later — the payment gateway can be temporarily unavailable.
• If the error persists, contact VirtCardPay support to check the transaction status and limits.

What to check before 7.2 launches

Events and login rewards refresh with the patch. Check the events section in advance to see what you can get and until when. Livestream codes often last only a few days — redeem them immediately or miss out on Primogems.

FAQ

Can I pay for Genshin Impact with a card from my country? It depends on the payment system and card region. A virtual card from an international payment system usually works where a local card doesn't.

How much should I keep on the card? The purchase price plus 5–10% for conversion and possible fees. Check exact rates in your account.

Where can I find exact banner dates? In the official HoYoverse announcement and the in-game schedule. Dates can change — verify before buying wishes.
