[QUOTE=manian112;38023609]I was only able to do this once on my account... Fuck :([/QUOTE] The code works once per account.
[QUOTE=Hellborg 65;38023613]The code works once per account.[/QUOTE] If you were lucky, it used to work 3 or more times per account.
Okay after some experimentation I figured out: -The code works ONCE per order, seemingly at random on a game under or exactly $20 that is in the promo's whitelist. That list up there and SOME DLC has been confirmed working -The code can be used infinite times in a single account -The code can be used infinite times by logging out, getting an order and the code going before logging in, and logging in only when it prompts you to do so when you check out. Do all of this in Incognito, and use info from fakenamegenerator.com -For anyone not in the US or Canada you can use [url]http://store.origin.com/?ipr=ty[/url]
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38023624]If you were lucky, it used to work 3 or more times per account.[/QUOTE] It worked for Battlefield 2142 but nothing else I've tried, which is odd since it seems to be a common game.
So Battlefield 2142 doesn't require Origin to run in order to play...
can you use diffrent ips to get more games?
Wait would my main risk getting banned using this legitimatly? I mean I am not using it multiple times on the same account...
My friend also got Bad Company 2 with this, just so everyone knows.
[QUOTE=Mobon1;38023666]So Battlefield 2142 doesn't require Origin to run in order to play...[/QUOTE] Neither do many older games I believe. Hell I bought KoA through there and it doesn't seem to require it from what I remember.
[QUOTE=Mobon1;38023666]So Battlefield 2142 doesn't require Origin to run in order to play...[/QUOTE] Just you cant use the disk to install it with the key, i tried.
Code seems to have stopped working, billing options and taxes are applying, at least for my account which already got two games from this. Anyone who hasn't touched this at all wanna confirm?
[QUOTE=ShaunOfTheLive;38023611]You can always make new accounts, I suppose.[/QUOTE] That's quite a pain, trying to remember all the account names and passwords, changing your accounts whenever you want to play something else and shit like that.
[QUOTE=manian112;38023703]That's quite a pain, trying to remember all the account names and passwords, changing your accounts whenever you want to play something else and shit like that.[/QUOTE] I have a notepad with 4 of accounts details. Passwords are all the same.
[QUOTE=manian112;38023703]That's quite a pain, trying to remember all the account names and passwords, changing your accounts whenever you want to play something else and shit like that.[/QUOTE] you could just put the info in an notepad like I did game name;product code;email & password

Has anyone tried Empire Total War? I'm pretty sure it requires steam, plus they send you an email with the serial code in it, so I may try to redeem it on steam. Edit: Promo code's not working for me. Nothing happens when I apply it.
Can anyone willing to quickly set up an account for me PM me so I can give you the details to do it? I'd do it myself but Origin isn't tablet friendly.
Just got me Dragon Age.
I just get payment authorization failed, my friend did the exact same thing and it works for him, I'm using an US VPN what the fuck

I had no intention of using it since I'm pretty sure the words Free and EA don't go in the same sentence. they're probably going to start banning people who used it I tried to test it just to see if it'd work on Bioware points or anything else. seems they fixed it. anyway I wasn't going to risk my BF3 and ME3 accounts, and the real money I spent on them, just to get a few crappy EA games. I already owned everything that was worth half a turd from them
Origin is slow as fuck now.
The incognito method works, trying to get all the Sims 3 stuff packs while I can. EDIT: Looks like they might be catching on... [img]http://i.imgur.com/LYO9n.png[/img]
literally not mentally [editline]13th October 2012[/editline] actually yeah mentally too
To anyone who needs billing information due to EA comparing zip codes to their city to make sure you are not inputting false info: Seattle has a zip code of 98111, it seems to work pretty well.

The website's going slow as hell, and chances are everyone and their mom is using this.
