Allakhazam's 10% off all MMORPG Coupon QuestionFollow

#1 Apr 05 2006 at 5:41 PM Rating: Decent
Has there been a recent change in regards to honoring the coupon code for the 10% off MMORPG games that premium members are entitled to?

The coupon was honored for the first copy of Prophecy of Ro I ordered when it was released. Today I decided to order another copy for my second account and when I entered the code I was greeted with some red text that says,

"The coupon code you have entered is invalid, please enter another code or try again."

Now I understand this is an expansion, but it should qualify as a MMORPG game AND it was honored for the first copy I bought. Does anyone official know of any changes to this policy?

I'm still forkin over the $30 for it either way but just wanted to bring this to someone's attention in case it starts to become a common occurence.

It may be because the code was used a second time on the same item. Or has this worked for you in the past (buying the same expansion on two different occasions)?

Not sure. In the past I have always bought the games in the store itself until recently. Our local EB went to hell and they carry mostly console games now with very few PC games on their shelves if any (it's located in a mall trying to become more upscale, so they raised the rent and they moved to a smaller storefront a while back). They offer to order stuff for you if you ask which I can do on the website myself.

So I am not sure if ordering the same thing twice with that same code has anything to do with it as this is the first time I have come across this problem.

Same thing happened to me when I went back and bought another copy of POR. I called EB and they gave me the discount.....but it looks like you only get to use the code once.

I recently tried the coupon code and it did not work.

I have never used the discount before.

This needs looked at by someone.

EBGames merged with Gamestop. They changed their software to Gamestop's as well, so our old coupons are invalid. We are revaming it so that we can get coupons that work with their new system. Illia's been working on it for a few days now, so it should be ready soon.

EBGames is currently having a special for ALL users of the
site which gives the 10% discount. The special offer states
that no other discount codes will function.

The code is "10PERCPC", and it worked just fine for me on
multiple orders. Check out the notice for the 10% discount
on the main page for more details...

This only works for PC games from the site...
