I posted this in the old thread when the promotion first came out, but figured a this was new thread worthy in case anyone is trying to buy red bulls and get the codes.

What a mess.
A Destiny promotion in which players could redeem codes for various in-game benefits has been undermined by Internet scammers.
Within days of the Red Bull promotion going live, players figured out the (deplorably simple) code sequence and used it to score themselves loads of free loot.
That in itself isnt so bad, arguably, but the problem is that codes are one-use only so those who try to redeem codes obtained through legitimate purchases are getting errors instead. Since the redemption site went down under the pressure of players rushing to scam free stuff, its likely that a huge number of codes have been invalidated now.
