FREE GAMES FROM ORIGIN!

Worked for me, picked up Spore free. Was really trying to stay away from EA's Origin. I'll give it a shot since I've always wanted Spore but stayed away because EA thinks we are all pirates...Did I just legally pirate this game?

dead deal

not sure how many people are getting away with it, i've read that some successfully grabbed 20+ titles without spending a penny lol

Got the same email, took the survey and the code doesn't work. Not sure if it was a use within x amt of hours after taking the survey or anything but it didn't work.

20? I got one title, DA:O (the only good one in the series) and it wouldn't let me get any more under that account. If people got multiples they probably just signed up for Origin under multiple emails with bogus info.

I checked this morning and my order history on Origin for the last three months is empty. But I still have the order confirmation emails with the product codes which work fine when pasted into Origin manually.

Either way, it's dead now.

Worked for me. I didn't try to get more than one...getting one free game from a code that wasn't sent to me is as far as I'm willing to stretch my ethics.

 

[geokilla]

I got multiple on one account

But yea dead now. EA finally decided to react, after 3 days.

Congratz... you get to keep what you managed to snag.

 

[lkailburn]

hot damn! that's great news

I view it as a fine line. Sort of like if you go shopping and something is price marked incorrect. I'd prefer they honor their mistake but they don't always and I understand that as well.

Nice to hear! Played MoH online last night -- fun game.

Yeah, and I should have read the list better and got better ones

Oh well

Just got my apologetic email today. Can't really think of anything off-hand to use it on though ATM.

Dear Gamer,
Last week, we sent you an invitation to take a short survey that mentioned we would give you a promo code worth $20 to use on your next purchase once you completed the survey. Unfortunately, due to some misuse of the promo code, we had to discontinue its use early, and you may not have received the discount you were promised.
But you took the time to attempt to take the survey, and we want to say thank you for your time. We'd like to offer you the same $20 discount on your next purchase, through Sunday October 21, 2012. The discount is good for $20 off a purchase of most EA games on Origin priced $19.99 or above.*
To redeem your code, visit Origin.com and simply add an EA game to your shopping cart, proceed to the check-out window, and enter code. Please note this promotion will only be valid until October 21, 2012, so you will want to act soon.
If you need additional help redeeming your code, you can contact Origin Help for 24/7 assistance.

EDIT: They give you another code to enter at checkout. Didn't want to put it in because I'm thinking of getting Madden for my son lol
