U cannot purchase an ERAS token in advance.
Here r the details of ERAS fees:

Up to 10 Specialties = $65
11-20 Specialties = $8 each
21-30 Specialties = $15 each
31 or more Specialties = $25 each

USMLE Transcript Fees = $60
ERAS Token Fee = $90

Here is wat the AAMC says about the payment method:

Payment Method:
"You may use your Visa or MasterCard to pay for your fees online. This is the safest and fastest way to process your application. ERAS uses a secure server to transmit your credit card information. We do not store your credit card information after the transaction is processed. Once your credit card information is processed, your application and personal statement will be available to programs and your designated dean's office will be able to transmit the supporting documentation.

Note: Applicants who pay their ERAS fees using a credit card will see those charges reflected as "AAMC Fees" on their credit card statement.

You also have the option to pay your fees by selecting the check/money order option, printing out the invoice in the payment module, and sending your fees by check (U.S. currency only) to the address on the invoice. Your application(s) may be withdrawn if payment is not received within two weeks.

Once payment has been selected, your application and personal statement will be available to programs and your designated dean's office will be able to transmit the supporting documentation within 24 hours-usually quicker. Be sure to make your payment right away if choosing check or money order as your payment choice.

All fees are payable in U.S. funds on U.S. banks only.
If your check is returned for insufficient funds, you submit partial payment, or if there is a problem with your credit card payment, ERAS will endeavor to collect fees owed and your application may be withdrawn.
If ERAS withdraws your application due to non-payment, your application will be withdrawn from each program to which you applied."

Good Luck!

Yes, an ERAS token is purchased thro' the ECFMG website,but one cannot apply to programs or pay for the electronic USMLE transcript by using the money deposited in the ECFMG account.
Good Luck!
