is it safe to trade gold for game type by that method ?

It's as safe as trading for cash

That largely depends on if you are an annual pass subscriber. I have used this method to pay for my game time for 5 years now with no issues until 2 months ago. At that time i received an email telling me that the remaining 8 months of RAF time i had left had been removed. Account was frozen and i had to make a payment to unlock it and be able to add more RAF time via the same method. 2 days ago i received an email telling me that the month i had just purchased was removed.

Hello,

We are writing to inform you that, regrettably, due to a payment issue related to one of the accounts you ?referred? via the Recruit-a-Friend system, the free month(s) subscription issued to your account has been disabled. Please note that this is not a penalty for your account, but it may require you to update your subscription details if you wish to continue to play.


However, the duration of your World of Warcraft Annual Pass has been extended accordingly so you can still take advantage of this special promotion.

Please note that we can only discuss this issue with the ?referred? account with the account owner of that account, and unfortunately, we will be unable to answer any of your questions relating to that account. If your referee has any question or concerns, (s)he can contact us using the Blizzard customer service website: https://us.battle.net/support/ticket/submit

Until i signed up for the annual pass this had never been an issue so it seems that blizzard is doing some checking on those people. You will find many posts on ownedcore telling you the same thing RAF time no longer works for annual pass subscribers. I am back to trading for cash and purchasing actual game cards for time as this seems to be the only "safe" method.
