As mentioned throughout the thread it's not US only.

Only purchased BF3 through origin and received key. Check spam folder.

Been a member of Origin/Download Manager since 2010 and I still haven't got a code. What's the deal EA??
It's widely accepted that if someone's an "American" they mean a citizen of the USA, and about anything else is too unwieldy to say. I do try to say USA or NA depending on which IS more appropriate too, as there's less excuse there.

Ding ding ding we have a winner.
It's a shame there's so much FUD on Origin, it's a decent service with great customer support but terrible prices.

I was in the promo email thing, i'm reside in Canada, and never received the freaking email, not even in junk mail.
The support tell me they can't provide me support because it's generated automaticly. YEah right haha
Any digital distribution can generate or add a game to an account.
VALVe having damm slow support but they are still way more supporting into thje issues.
I guess i'll cross my fingers to receive a free code , nearly impossible and i can't find anyone who don't need their code.
I can't find someone who wanted to PM me their code they don't need on another forum so yeah, WAY TO GO EA. They are so liar in their support.
I guess i will never EVER buy any origin games, only if they are free lol. I kinda now regret top have bought Battlefield 3 because of this ridiculous support of EA.

EA could have made this very simple: If you're a registered EA/Origin member, log in and download one free game of choice - DA, Spore or BFBC2.
Instead, they opted to send these emails out, which of course created problems with people not getting them, not being signed up for the newsletter, not checking Gmail Spam - I could go on and on - which then begs the question - why didn't they just make this easy?
Now, good customers are feeling cheated because they didn't get an email and rightfully so.
I'd bet money he is from either Central or South America. I think they are the only ones who get annoyed when people equate America to USA. I am Canadian and for us American always means "US citizen". I have never met a Canadian who considers themselves an American because we happen to occupy nearly half of North America.

Someone said earlier you have to use it in the client, not on the website. If you already are, I have nothing for you.
Used it in the client, yes.
Sent an e-mail, but it will be too late by then. The live-chat wait is way too long.

Never got a code. I guess I should go to chat and ask if I can get one, though I don't think it'll work.
I tried verifying my e-mail to see if that would help, but then got a verification e-mail with no link in it.

I'm afraid the only way to get verified is through support which they will manually activate it :|
How do I do that?
Go to the main Origin site, and then log in, and it should give you an account screen where it tells you if your e-mail is verified.
Like I said, if they go by the time it is on their site, the codes are expired. But they shouldn't be.
Well right now I think EA should decouple their games from the services. Because I had to ask for a code. Went to the site at 10:30 est to get a free game. And instead end up with nothing and chat has a long ass wait time. If they can't handle this I shudder to think how they would screw up with their games.

Ten free games couldn't get me to download Origin. Haven't given EA any money since I experienced their horrid customer support. Refuse to allow Origin to pluck info from my PC.
