Ok i can confirm that Gift Cards work outside the US. I received my keys instantly!

This is what you need to do:

1. Buy a 30$ gamestop gift card from https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MV9FCFQ/?tag=neogaf0e-20
2. Place your order at gamestop. You have to enter an address still!
3. Google any Hotel in New York for example. They will add 2% tax (cuz of NY) but you're fine with a 30$ gift cards.
4. Receive codes directly on checkout.

Awesome, thanks for that info.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
I only got the "Order confirmed" email from Gamestop, how long does it usually take for the key-email to show up?

Sooo yeah I never got my codes. I'm wondering if I should go with the gift card option and potentially buy it twice. Can I return an order if they both go through?

3. You have to enter an address still! Google any Hotel in New York for a valid address. They will add 2% tax (cuz of NY) but you're fine with a 30$ gift card.
4. Enter your giftcard code + pin and just do "Submit Order".
5. Receive codes directly on checkout.

That worked for me here in Australia. Thanks! It took about 5-10 minutes to get the Steam code.

I got my codes at my order summary. I got this email after the order though.

Order went through. Now to wait 10 minutes for it to be done downloading and I'll have something to do for a few hours.

Thanks OP.

I fear any orders going through right now with credit cards will be cancelled.

Can someone buy me just the Season Pass with the GameStop giftcard method and I'll PayPal you $9?

Why are people assuming it's a pricing error when not only the base game, but also the DLC and the Game+DLC bundle are also reduced?

In case anybody is wondering if the Season Pass is worth the price, it has three "big" pieces of content:

- Baba Yaga: It's essentially one long side mission and will take you no more than two hours at the absolute most.
- Endurance: Think Don't Starve. The aim is to survive for as long as you can while battling the elements and the occasional enemy.
- Cold Darkness Awakened: Still en route, but think Gears of War's horde mode.

I'd say $9 is fair if you'll sink some time into the two game modes, but otherwise I'd chop that down to $5.

Because the bundle is more expensive than buying the base game and DLC separately. It's just a straight percent markdown on everything and it's clearly a mistake.

Because slightly older and less high profile games like Just Cause 3 are still 45 bucks. ROTR has sold more in a month on Steam than JC3 has in 2 and a half, so it makes no sense to deep discount it so much so soon.

A ton of Square stuff seems to be at a flat 70 percent off, and it likely just got caught in a blanket discount.

Just want to confirm if anyone that paid with credit card had issues getting their key?

I don't want to buy a gamestop gift card as the lowest denomination you can buy is $25 and I just want the Season Pass.

FWIW you can buy Gamestop giftcards as low as 10 bucks on sites like GYFT if you don't want to worry about overspending on giftcard credit.

Still waiting for my key....
Just my luck, it seems I'm the only one here with this problem

Nah, I still haven't received a key after getting an order confirmation either. I don't even get text below my order number and it has been nearly 2 hours since getting my confirmation. Just figured I'd wait until GameStop sorts it out.

Just purchased this with PayPal in the US and I didn't get my codes in the email.

Hopefully I'll get them! I checked the order status on Gamestop and it has it listed as "open" still.

Thanks, NoRéN. Got the Season Pass key.
But I was too quick and totally forgot that I already have it.

Anybody wants the key? PM me.

Thanks OP. Just grabbed it using the Amazon method after some umming an ahhing.

Can't argue with the game plus the season pass for less than $30. Another one to add to the backlog... I'll tackle it after I'm done with the Witcher 3.

It's not dead. If you use the Amazon gift card method you get your keys instantly. I've just redeemed mine on steam.

I also checked out without creating an account if that helps.

I'm in the UK, just got the season pass (and the main game for a friend's birthday) using a $30 GameStop gift card from Amazon - thanks for the heads up and the gift card tip! Codes issued on-site directly after checkout.

So as long as I got the confirmation email I should get the steam codes eventually, right?

I didn't see any option to cancel the order, so I think I'll just have to wait either way.

Should have just gotten out of bed and used my damn credit card. :(
