I received a free game redeem code today from EA, any game except pre orders and within a month of the game coming out, i thought it was a scam at first because things like this dont happen very often, not sure what to get, if i had more potent machine id give BF3 a go, beta was a bit of a nightmare, was going to check out Bad company 2 pack but im not sure how many people would be playing it with BF3 coming out soon. Thanks again EA SA very kind indeed:):):)
 
How do you receive a redeem code? Have you purchased any EA games recently?

I've created an Origin account and have been playing the BF3 beta but haven't received a code so I take it playing a free beta doesn't earn me a free game. :(
 
No, in order to receive a free game code, you should've bought MoH Tier 1 / LE edition to have qualified for a code for the BF3 beta. Now a lot of people didn't get a code (me included, but I won one a BF3 beta code as well as a copy of BF3 itself :D). People that didn't receive their codes prior to the start of the beta, get this from Origin as an apology ;)
 
I presumed I got this for the stuff up with the BF beta keys. Anyways kudos to EA

Hi there,

Last week, we understand you had an experience with the Origin service that may have left you disappointed.

We are deeply sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused you, and would like to offer you something to make amends. Here's your code to redeem a free game* off the Origin store

*xxxxxxxxxxx* "you didnt think I was gonna show my code here :D "

We want you to have an awesome experience with Origin, and rest assured that we're working hard to provide only the best for you.

Happy gaming!

Damn, I almost deleted that email, thought it was a scam.
Luckily I checked on mybb first to see if anyone got that as well.

Now, what to choose........ ?!?!?
 
When the BF3 closed beta was released I contacted support to get my code (which I never got btw) and they couldn't give it to me. Then I got a survey form a few days ago asking me to rate their support (gave them the lowest possible) and now I also got a free game redeem code.
 
1 question, where excatly do you input that code that they give you?

*EDIT* Nvm, I got it to work..... Hello Mass Effect 2 Deluxe :D

During the purchasing process there is a place where you can input a promo code, use it there and not via "Redeem a product code"
 
What to get!?! You can't use to buy BF3. The small print:

You can use it for bf3, if you only buy it end November after the 30 days. Already got Fifa 12 on PS3, may NFS The Run, after 30 days of release...
 
So what to get? Doesn't like like there is all that much to choose from. What did you get?
