Wondering if DST is going to affect what time the rattle shake promo will start?


Shouldn't, since it starts at midnight and the time change is at 2am, and only goes back to 1am.

How smart is it for us all to bombard the site as soon as it goes live with our codes? If they're only doing 1 prize every 15 mins...

Woo it's gone live. Now don't blow your codes the first night. That's what everyone will be doing.

#308 Posted: 05:05:11 03/11/2013
So it looks like the codes themselves are 1 time use only. So how does that work when you buy 8 bags and each one has the same exact code?
scratchdesk Green Sparx Gems: 264
#309 Posted: 05:05:35 03/11/2013
Appears codes can only be used once per. So sounds like this promotion is going to be a huge pain.
Phoenix_Lord Gold Sparx Gems: 2061
#310 Posted: 05:08:11 03/11/2013
It looks like very few are going to win...since there are so few codes....bacause all the bags i saw had the same code...there was 8 there, i only bought one.
Also it says "1 code per day per person"...so VERY few are going to win this figure, because i haven't seen anymore bags.
smilie .....oh well we all can hope Activision makes this figure available at another time....

Wow seriously I made sure to buy 3 different bags with different codes on them, and I still only got to play one of the codes. That's BS!

Glad I found two bags with different codes

Has anyone on here won yet? Sounds like the forum was about to flood web site.

I found 3 bags with different codes, but looks like someone else used the codes before I could get to the second 2 codes.

What the hell, it is saying my codes have already been used....that makes no sense how can they be used if I havent used them. Guess i'm calling them monday /are they open tomorrow)?

I know the chips themselves are sharing the same codes but i can see ALOT of ppl calling and complaining about this..

I had the same problem and I bet every one is going to have that problem with as many duplicate codes that were put on the bags.

#318 Posted: 05:13:51 03/11/2013
starting to sound like the website got slammed and the amount of duplicate codes is making for some big time problems that no one has forseen

The one code I got to enter wasn't a winner either. So the first person to play doesn't mean you'll win.
tertansin2 Blue Sparx Gems: 777
#323 Posted: 05:16:14 03/11/2013
Same here. I had 2 codes and they both said they have already been used.
bluerosedruid Gold Sparx Gems: 2991
#324 Posted: 05:17:00 03/11/2013
Well I tried one of my codes but it wasn't a winner, looks like this may be harder than Pumpkin Fright Rider was.

Torchiest Green Sparx Gems: 303
#326 Posted: 05:18:39 03/11/2013
Only one person could win in that first 15 minute block.
Kesrael Gold Sparx Gems: 2507
#327 Posted: 05:19:27 03/11/2013
Says they're open 7AM -7PM. Doesn't list any days so I'd assume 7 days a week. So when someone calls in about this in the morning, let us all know how you make out!

Well with the sheer amount of peeps that jumped the site as soon as it went live, I can see why there were not a lot of winners so far. Bet we see the first round of scalps hit ebay by 6:00 tomorrow morning

Im thinking they didn't know that the bags have one code.....thinking the left side(those that created the web site)of the office... didn't know what the right side(those that created the bags)of the office was doing.
Im wagerin' that phone number will be called like crazy monday.....

I assumed that the are tracking the codes via IP addresses so I decided to tether my laptop to my phone. Both my wife and my phones give out different IP Addresses and still my codes are showing already used. I think that there are only so many codes per state and each of the codes can be used once a day! This is BS!

#341 Posted: 05:37:04 03/11/2013
Well the strategy of so many people all entering at once the second the game went live is killing the pool of chip codes out there. It works out for those of you who already got your unique mail in codes...you won't have much competition...until Monday when their CS department gets bombarded with complaints that bag codes say used and they open up chip codes to be used more than once.
ironjack Yellow Sparx Gems: 1264
#342 Posted: 05:40:35 03/11/2013
First code said sorry you are not a winner, second code had been used and the third took me to you're a winner page then you click the link to "claim prize" another page to fill out your name, address, phone #, and agree to the terms and then the screen I linked.

Okay, so I got my bags. They JUST put the bags out the INSTANT I got there. I went STRAIGHT HOME. How have two of the codes already been used?

Activision's got some explaining to do!

The system is taking codes, that much is a given. I wouldn't be surprised if someone isn't spoofing the hell out of it though with fake emails to hoard all of them with a box using a random-number-generator to see what sticks.
Diggeh Emerald Sparx Gems: 3153
#345 Posted: 05:53:18 03/11/2013
So do we keep entering our code every 15 minutes, or can we only use that one code per day?

That happens with most instant win games, but I doubt somebody is out doing that right now on the first night of this particular contest, but you never know. If that was the case, they could have hoarded all the Fright Rider wins as well.

If anyone has a code to use my suggestions would to put it in at 1:04:01 Central standard time I think Iron Jack won around 12:19 CST and I won @ 12:34:01 on my computers clock so if going by 15 min intervals next win was @ 12:49:01 and the Next in theory would be 1:04:01 CST. If that helps anyone win let me know

#348 Posted: 05:58:13 03/11/2013
Tried my second code with my wife's email, got the code has already been used message. Guess I will be lodging a complaint Monday morning. Probably gonna leave some nasty messages for them tomorrow as well if there is a leave a message option.

Nope, still nothing. There's no way the codes can be one use only.
