I found a pretty good deal on the BC2: Vietnam xpac.
If you sign up for recyclebank.com and do some quick (3 minutes online) things you can get enough points for a $10 off EA store coupon. I already had Vietnam (doh!!) so I just got Mirror's Edge for free.
Here are the step by step instructions:
- create account at recyclebank.com
Under "Earn Points"- Sign up for eBay's Green Team for 50 points
- Enter code: 031604014704 with partner: Nature Made for 10 points 5x times
- Enter code: TakeSmallSteps with partner: Marcal for 15 points
- Take Miller Coors Quiz for 30 points (answers are C for every quiz)
- Take Naked Juice Quiz for 30 points
- Take P&G Quiz for another 30
You should now have ~225 points. Now go redeem 175 points for an EA coupon for $10 off a PC game. Bam!! BC2 Vietnam for $5

After I get the access code for game, can it be used in steam version or not?
-
I definitely do not trust this. Paying $10 more rather than gambling seems fair enough to me
-
Last time I used one of these types of discounted websites my account was banned 1 month later.
Buy it from reputable sources, guys. These discounted codes are nothing more than key generators. It may take a day or a year, but they will catch you.
How? In the future, when someone purchases a legitimate copy of the game it may have the same code as the one generated, which will then lead to an investigation and finally leading to an account ban.
Not saying this site is bad - Just be VERY careful, b/c you don't want hundreds (if not thousands) of hours lost later down the road. -

Worked for me, got my code and $5.00 game.
The code does not work in Steam from the "add game" thing but I need to test a few things, like seeing if you enter it in the game client itself. Also I just made the purchase it may take a bit for the code to work.
I have the game on EA anyways so I was pretty safe to give this a try. -

Yeah your not getting the unlock code your getting a code to purchase the game. Coupon codes are all over the net all the time I dont think there is any risk other than spam mail.
This however looks pretty legitimate (the site)
Edit: got it working. No time to play now have to work soon. Try to get some game time tomorrow if I am lucky. -
I tried to sign up, but I never got my activation e-mail
-
ViciousXUSMC Master Viking NBR Reviewer
took a minute, like 4 minutes actually.
-
Ok it took like 20 minutes, but there it is lol
-
Yep, it works. Better act quick though, one of the partner codes ran out, I only earned about 180 points, but it was just enough for the $10 EA promote code.
Since I already got Vietnam, so I bought the SPECACT Kit Upgrade, which is something I would never pay myself.
* If you are concerned with your privacy, just use your spam email account when you sign up, then fill out some fake personal info - address/phone all can be made up - if it gives you the error that your address does not match, just click on continue, it won't bother you again. -
Holy cow! Thanks it worked. Took me around 10 mins to do all that. +rep

I also got it.
-
then watch, tomorrow this expansion goes on sale for 4.99 or less lol.
-
Ah okay, if it's a coupon to use then it's fine/safe.
-
ViciousXUSMC Master Viking NBR Reviewer
Im sure as this deal gets wide spread somehow it will be harder to get.
Like how could you redeem the vitamin code 5x lol...
And all quizzes answer was C.... (except one question it was "all of the above" and that would be "d" in theory) -

Now that I bought Vietnam, everytime I open EA store, it offers me another copy fo $5.
No code or anything.
Just bought 2 other copies for my friend and still its on.
Its strange. -
It worked! Thanks

They are expired imo. -
ViciousXUSMC Master Viking NBR Reviewer
I would have bought like 10 of them and then sold them to NBR members so we can get some Vietnam action going. -
spradhan01 Notebook Virtuoso
You sure you want me to do that?
I already bought 3 of them for me and my friends..
Here is the screenshot as soon as I open eastore.

Sure, looks like I am into some business now.

ViciousXUSMC Master Viking NBR Reviewer
man there code system is messed up, just read the slick deals thread on this and the code is taking $10.00 off everything in the cart. So there are like 14 games for for $10 people are getting for free lol.
I wonder if mine saved like yours, I will have to check on my desktop when I get home since thats where I did this. -
spradhan01 Notebook Virtuoso
Ok guys pm me if you want the Vietnam as a deal.
We should be up there in vietnam with NBR crew. -
If only I had access to online payment. =[

masterchef341 The guy from The Notebook
someone want to send me up to 4 vietnam codes? I have 3 roommates
edit: i'm trying to do this but i can't find the coupon link. lil' help?
edit: damn, it's dead. isn't it? crap. -
It seems if you bought the item at the discounted price, the EA store will continue to show that discounted price. I got Mirror's Edge for free with the coupon and it's still showing a price of 0.00$ if I add it to my cart.
Pretty cool game so far. -
I'll take a code! What do I have to do?!?
-
spradhan01 Notebook Virtuoso
Too bad.
Its gone now in my pc.
Looks like it was only for 24 hrs.
But I still got a $10 coupon that I got.
I will try that again and see if it will give me the game for the same price again. -
Ahhhhh! I was traveling yesterday and must have missed this thread, dammit! Oh well, still waiting for that Steam sale...
-
I got the Specact kit for free and BC2 vietnam for 5 bucks yesterday
-
10char
-
plus mirrors edge!!!
-
I did this and got the following for free:
- SPECACT Kit (BC2)
- Mirror's Edge
- Sim City 4 Deluxe
- FIFA 2010
But now I have this damn new EA Downloader Client on my system. I woulda gotten Vietnam, but I was a fool and paid full price for it last week. Glad some people are enjoying the deal! -
recyclebank removed the $10 off coupon reward
-
-
I wonder if the $10 EA promote code can be used twice by another person.
I only spent about $5.50 on that SPECACT kit upgrade, so in theory, I should be able to give that code to one of you who missed the coupon deal and buy the kit for just $1 (or $4.50 off on other games). -

^^ You cannot use more than once even though if you have balance.

I found a way to get as many discounts as possible.
Just click on add to cart and enter the coupon.
(BC2 Vietnam $15-10=$5)
Remove from the cart
Add another game into cart and again enter the coupon
Price is slashed $10.
Now add BC2 Vietnam.
Get both or 3 games at total $30 discount as I tried upto 3.
Worked for me -

I thought they removed the EA $10 code now?
I also cant use my code again it says it was already used -
spradhan01 Notebook Virtuoso
I had an extra one which I redeemed yesterday.
Check this out with single code.

So you still helping out? I sent you a PM asking for a copy for a friend and I can paypal you.
-
spradhan01 Notebook Virtuoso
One game at a time. -
spradhan01 Notebook Virtuoso
You can try the tip that I suggested. -
I just used some of my spare email addresses to get a few more coupon codes. But I was able to grab both Sim City & FIFA in one single transaction.
-
So is this still working or is there any way for me to get this off one of you?
-
spradhan01 Notebook Virtuoso
If you have a redeemed code then its still on but if you are thinking to get one from recyclebank then its dead.
-
Yeah.. I just redeemed enough last morning to try to get one of these coupons but was disappointed they all got snagged. *Sigh*...
