Rite Aid has joined KingsIsle Entertainment's newly launched gift card program for family-friendly hit virtual world game Wizard101. Prepaid Wizard101 gift cards in 10 USD and 20 USD increments began shipping to Rite Aid stores nationwide today.
"With the addition of Rite Aid, Wizard101 fans will now find gift cards in more than 13,000 retail locations nationwide," said KingsIsle CEO Elie Akilian. "More major retail outlets are set to join the program in the coming months."
Each card offers a limited edition collectible pet available upon redemption from one of four special sets: Protectors, Assistants, Adventurers, and Heroes. Pets from these sets will give players unique powers and spell cards. Beginning with Protectors, a new set will become available each month.
Wizard101 gift cards are an affordable birthday gift or child reward, and a way to unlock new areas of the game or purchase in-game gear such as wands, treasure cards and holiday items. The gift cards at Rite Aid will offer collectible pets that are different from other retailers participating in the program. Cards are expected to arrive in Rite Aid stores over the course of the next week.

It is rated E10+ by the ESRB. Anybody with a Windows based PC can play the -to-Play areas of the game for as long as they like. KingsIsle lets players choose subscription or microtransaction methods for advanced content. Family plan subscriptions are 6.95 USD per month and general subscriptions are 9.95 USD.
