Origin $20 off coupon [Expired - EA states they're honoring games]

ya, go here, click yellow coupon to activate and it takes you to origin store

sort by price and mass effect 3 is $12

Tried it. I click on the yellow link, I get a pop-up that says "Coupon Activated - Click OK to continue", but nothing changes for me in the store. Any idea of what I'm doing wrong here? :s

im gonna buy ME3 @$12 just to thank EA for honoring the 8 games I got last weekend. #herestoEA
This is kind of tempting. Then I'd have the trilogy on Origin.

Are you in the United States?

Oh.

Oh okay. I did get the lowered prices (like $16 for Amalur), but thought clicking the yellow button would get me an extra discount of $20 so that the games would be completely free.

Guess I misunderstood.

You have to add a $4 dollar game to stack the two discounts.

Just did it, got ME3 for $12USD, it worked. Thanks EA. (never thought I'd say that)

I did, have Amalur and Shank 2 in my basket. I'll start over from scratch and try again.

it doesn't sound like you have the unique $20 promo code from the EA survey in hand (which is why you aren't getting stuff for free), but just in case you do - it seems like if you redeem the code then back out of the transaction it will count as "used" so be careful with redeeming the new survey $20 codes.


reeeeally tempted to get me3 and KOA:R for those prices, even at black friday sales i don't think i'll be able to get them that cheap. i'll probably break down and get mass effect 3 since it's at least not on steam and the code appears to not work on me3 even if someone did give me one *cough*cough*.

No I misunderstood the whole thing. Thought that you could browse to a "deals" page on Origin, add games to your basket to a total amount of $20, then apply a $20 discount through that yellow button.

But it seems the yellow button and the deals page are one and the same. And you do need the unique survey code indeed.

Just noticed I've got 2 copies of AirMech in my steam giftables, so I'll throw those into the deal.

Planetside 2 beta key, Company of Heroes 2 beta key, 2xAirMech steam gift and a Civ 5 steam gift anyone?

I tried that coupon site and I can get sims 3 for 12 but my new $20 thing from EA still doesn't work for whatever reason. Shit's frustrating.

Okay, before I try and combine my $20 code with the promo, what games do we know it won't work with? (You mentioned ME3 - anything else?) Don't want to waste the code, since you mentioned it's possible to back out of the transaction and lose it.

Pad your cart with more shit until you hit $20 before the email code.

I'll give it a try but it wasn't working earlier either when I tried command and conquer 4 which was $20.

EDIT: Ok it worked. I added sim city societies to bring it to an even $20 and it worked. Maybe command and conquer didn't work before because it was 19.99. Wouldn't put it past EA.

But anyway yay I finally got Sims 3!

Holy shit there's already 8 expansions for Sims 3? And they're all $30 minimum.

Jesus christ EA!

People keep buying them like crazy, EA would be stupid not to pump them out really. There has probably been a Sims expansion in the top 10 chart in Sweden every week since the first expansion for The Sims 2. I would almost be surprised if this wasn't true.

Yeah they have another one coming in november too going by wikipedia. I want most of them too but not for that crazy ass price. Maybe if they were $10 each I'd think about it.
 
Its like EA doesn't want my (free) money. No matter what I try, one game at 19.99 or multiple (shank and KoA) totaling 20.00 I get payment authorization failed. Checked with EA support and the code is still valid though.
