    I pre-ordered Borderlands 2 from them, Pre-Orders come with Premiere Club. Game arrived, and they claim it's just regular or whatever. But for some reason they have all these Premiere Club keys for sale on their site. So they sold pre-order to customers and stole the Premiere Club key to sell separately? That's disgraceful. There are better online key sites that don't steal your pre-order bonuses.

    It looks like they offer versions with and without the premiere club, the version without is discounted more heavily. I'm not sure this qualifies for thieving.

    It was a pre-order, pre-order comes with bonus that they are now selling separately. They are selling my pre-order bonus. At the time there was only one version and there was no disclaimer that they would steal the bonus from the pre-orders. Very deceitful. At very least they could have been honest and let pre-order buyers know they were going to steal the bonus to sell it. Other sites are up front with if the pre-order included.bonus or not.

    Assumption is the mother other of all fu......

    That said, you did get your key, did you not? At a big discount?

    On yuplay, the Premier Club edition is 999Rubles which is around £20.
    the Standard steam edition was 499 which is around £10. Both were for pre order.

    That sucks. How much was the discount, by the way?

    Don't lose sleep over it too much, though, you get some pretty lousy extras with that 'premier club': 3 useless guns to start with which I honestly replaced about 5 minutes into the game (they're good just for the early 'tutorial' part, really), a 'relic' that gives something trivial like 5% chance to find better loot, which I also replaced and sold at the first opportunity I got, and a one time, single use key for a specific chest in Sanctuary, which I accidently used since I open every box I see. It held...you guessed it, some lousy loot that I sold immediately after for about ~800 in game bucks. Whoopy...

    The only thing I find that's worth it is the included Mechromancer DLC, but if your game was discounted enough you can get that DLC when it'll be released for $10 and still end up with a profit or break even. But yeah, I understand how you feel about the whole thing, it's the principle you didn't get what you thought you were going to.

    Thanks for the warning, though.

    It sounds really shady to resell the preorder bonuses by themselves but at least i know you wont be visiting them anymore.

    Yup. Other sites that don't have the pre-order bonus are selling for $26. cdkeydiscount are thieves.
