    Ok here is the deal.
    I have the $10 coupon which I really don't need since I am busy in BC2 vietnam.
    Since I found the way to get many discounts possible from EA store.
    Get any $10 game free, BC2 Special kit free, BC2 Vietnam $5 from a single coupon that I will provide as a gift.
    Guess my fav. game?

    Terms:
    Anyone who wins here, please buy ViciousXUSMC a copy of Vietnam(after receiving paypal).
    Even after the checkout using that coupon, the game stays the same price($5) for next 10 hours or so.

    What are you doing this for, in another thread you offered to purchase the Vietnam expansion for people (and get paid for it.)

    I PMed you a request for that, you then came back and said your code expired or something.

    Now your back again with the same thing willing to give it away but still have not fulfilled your prior offer.

    Color me confused.

    Anyways I would like to buy a copy of Vietnam for my co-worker and if you want to toss in the spectate kit thing while your at it for me that would be appreciated.

    @ViciousXUSMC
    Yeah, I thought to buy the vietnam but I have only one code left.
    The code was not expired but the $5 for Vietnam came to its original price the next day.
    I tried again and it worked fine.
    So, you can ask for the person who wins here for the Vietnam copy as I am sure he can surely get it for you as well as the kit.
    The trick works fine.

    I think that your single coupon would be more valuable to get multiple people a $5.00 copy of vietnam than it is to give away to a single person.

    Since you know how to do that and previously offered to do that I think that would be the right thing to do.

    At any rate, I said my piece.

    Can't believe more people aren't signing up for this giveaway, only 5 entered so far? Eitherways, if you decide to sell off some keys, what methods of payment you gonna accept? I'm not on paypal but would a Steam gift exchange work?

    I think people are more interested in just buying the keys outright, the giveaway seems overly complicated../

    I'm not sure if it will work anymore. I just used my coupon code and it wouldn't let me get vietnam for the discount price twice

    Ok....
    ViciousXUSMC, I will start with you for the Vietnam.
    Please check you pm.
    I think I can't provide you with the Special kit as its free but its unlocked for the email address from which the payment is done.
    There is no code or anything like that.
    Anyone who want Vietnam pm me.
    It will be $6 including $.33 and paypal fees.
    Just incase if the pricing glitch is fixed, I will kindly refund.
