New code incoming, will not be exploitable (maybe, lol)

Hi everyone,

Last week, we emailed some Origin users in North America asking them to participate in an online survey, and offered a promo code for $20 off their next Origin purchase in return for completing the survey. Unfortunately, due to some misuses of the promo code, we had to discontinue its use early before its stated expiration date.

We wanted to clear up the confusion: all users that completed the survey will receive an email soon (in the next 1-2 days) which will contain a new code for $20 off a purchase of any EA game on Origin priced $19.99 or above.

Thank you again to all users that took the time to provide us with feedback about Origin.

I think all origin people get that code. I just got one for taking a 5 question survey for them. Took 30 seconds.

PatzCU · (10-13-2012, 03:59 AM)

Came in for Sim City 5 not included, was not disappointed.

Zabojnik · (10-13-2012, 04:01 AM)

Wish it worked on the EU store ...

Lurkee · (10-13-2012, 04:03 AM)

Damn, I was contemplating posting this too.

InertiaXr · (10-13-2012, 04:04 AM)

Is the EURO 2012 DLC either bundled with FIFA 12 or available separately? I don't see it listed.

shagg_187 · 04:06 AM

I was just going to post it cause I just recieved the survey.

Games at $19.99 are essentially free!

Not all though ;_;

I'm not sure what I'd use it on, but I'll keep looking.

HiddenSentry · (10-13-2012, 04:05 AM)

Cool. 'Bought' like 3 C&C games.. cause, why not?

I actually had everything else I would have wanted, strangely enough.

alazz · (10-13-2012, 04:05 AM)

So that code is for $20 off a purchase with regular price of $19.99 or more and therefore doesn't conflict with the SD sale price?

Yeah, I got the same thing about an hour ago. Still deciding what to use it on. At least I got quite a few days to figure it out.

I didn't know that everyone got the exact same code, though. Hah.

cyborg009 · 04:09 AM

I got Dragon age I&II for free....

and I regret this....

Bulletstorm is free! :D

Welp, I found a game now.

djplaeskool · (10-13-2012, 04:09 AM)

Free Hot Pursuit.

...okay.

Zabojnik · (10-13-2012, 04:09 AM)

Only US Origin members received this, I presume?

SlickVic · (10-13-2012, 04:09 AM)

Nothing in that SlickDeals list I've been dying to play that I haven't already bought, but don't mind a free game. Thanks OP.

goat · (10-13-2012, 04:09 AM)

Nice, just got Dead Space 2, Burnout Paradise and Shank for free!

vazel · (10-13-2012, 04:10 AM)

Real nice. I got Dead Space and Crysis: Warhead for free.

MasterShotgun · (10-13-2012, 04:10 AM)

It doesn't look like the Slickdeals promo and this code actually work together. Using the code will take $20 off the original price, but it only offers the lower of the two deals. I tried it with Amalur, but it kept offering me the $16 price. Using it on the Origin client with the base price brought it down to $19.99, so I know the code works with it. I thought I was about to get it for free, but oh well.

Still, this is freaking sweet. Thanks. There has to be some game on there that I know I both don't have and can run on my laptop.

VGChampion · (10-13-2012, 04:11 AM)

Leaning towards Bullet Storm. Any other games I should be aware of first? And how are some of you getting more than one? Isn't it a one time offer?

Wait you used it multiple times?

Akkad · (10-13-2012, 04:13 AM)

Was looking for Shadows of the Damned but it seems they no longer have it.

The Grim Heaper · (10-13-2012, 04:13 AM)

Awesome. Just got Mercenaries 2, The Saboteur, and Dead Space 2.

shagg_187 · (10-13-2012, 04:14 AM)

You can use for multiple games? Welp. Milk it before they realize wtf happened :D

Codeblue · (10-13-2012, 04:14 AM)

How are you guys getting multiple items?

fluffydelusions · (10-13-2012, 04:14 AM)

Only worked once for me =\

The Grim Heaper · (10-13-2012, 04:15 AM)

I added games into my cart until it hit $20, then used the code.

x3sphere · (10-13-2012, 04:15 AM)

Doesn't work on Walking Dead or ME3 even though it should, unless I read the fine print wrong

Iadien · (10-13-2012, 04:15 AM)

Different origin accounts, maybe?

xJavonta · (10-13-2012, 04:16 AM)

How's The Saboteur?

This.

CaLe · (10-13-2012, 04:16 AM)

Tried with ME 3 both from the client and the site, the code didn't get applied... Anyone else had any luck ?

ShaneB · (10-13-2012, 04:16 AM)

is this not working in Canada?? :( Doesn't seem to want to apply.

Worked for me on burnout paradise.

Tenck · (10-13-2012, 04:17 AM)

Hmm game doesn't show up on my account. Even updated Origin to check it out.

Wonder if they caught on to this already.

Mutanthands · (10-13-2012, 04:18 AM)

Doesn't work for Mass Effect 3 despite the fact it has been out for 6 months plus.

KDash31987 · (10-13-2012, 04:19 AM)

You know...the title of the thread says "PC," but I don't see anything that says otherwise. At least not when I get it from that survey. It does mention it on that link that it's PC only, though. Can anyone confirm? If it's PC digital only, then I guess I'll just get something for that.

jediyoshi · (10-13-2012, 04:19 AM)

Welp, that's neat

LQX · (10-13-2012, 04:19 AM)

Have a total of $28 and that code did not work for me. Are you dudes using the client or site?

I tried using it on Dead Space 2 for 360 earlier but it didn't work.

I used the site.

djplaeskool · (10-13-2012, 04:20 AM)

Store just died.
I think they're onto us D:

Exuro · (10-13-2012, 04:22 AM)

Couldn't get Orcs Must Die 2 to go down any. It would only take $5 on another game I had added.

Cmagus · (10-13-2012, 04:22 AM)

Grabbed a copy of Mass Effect 2 for free nice deal

That or their servers are just overloaded because of the deal, either way I'm scared :(

Whogie · (10-13-2012, 04:22 AM)

Thanks,
Need For Speed was a good idea.

MatthewB92 · (10-13-2012, 04:23 AM)

Only got mass effect. code didn't work when I tried to get ME2.

I guess I'll just get something on PC, then. Maybe some racing games since I got a nice wheel...
