It doesn't work for me even with Paypal 🙁 Friggin hell. Do I just have to keep trying, or is it blocked or what?!
 
I gave up on gmg and tried to buy it from origin. After it failed the third time I called them and got the run around of them telling me that they flagged my account for possible purchase fraud...

Eventually I just bought it from amazon. Took about 30 minutes for it to process but I eventually got my keys. Origin accepted the keys and have preloaded it.

Sounds like it's a giant rush of people trying to buy keys and EA can't keep up.
 
It worked for me using firefox and paypal. Thanks for this deal. But is it really a deal? MSRP is $60? Shouldn't it be $50? Poured many hours in BF3 and this will be played as well.

Has anyone used this yet? Is there any problem using GMG if you aren't in the UK?

I have ordered from them several times, and never had an issue from my credit card co., if that is what you are concerned about. I even cancelled a few orders and have not issue with that (there were no unusual hoops to jump through).
I remember getting a few fraud check calls from my Credit Union the first couple of times I ordered from Valve. GMG, not a peep.

I assume it doesn't matter which name and address you provide, as long as the CC is valid?
The trouble I am getting an error even if I fill in wrong security number in, so it seems like the problem is somewhere on their site, and it gets rejected before the data goes anywhere.
But what the hell is that useless message. "There has been a problem with your order" - no crap. Can't you be a little bit more informative?!

You shouldn't have to give your social security number to buy a game, what are you doing. Applying of a credit card from them?
 
I nailed it.
Apparently, for some illogical reason, my account was flagged as a freud or something right after I registered, so that was the reason why I couldn't buy anything. After getting through their support (and one closed without a word ticket) they unblocked my account and I bought the game. Also received my key instantly and preloaded it.
As a bonus the release date is one day earlier than I expected (31st vs normal european 1st).
 
Gah... ordered from Amazon before I saw this. It looks like the promo code is still good, and I paid $12 more than I should have. 😡

Thank you though!
 
I got this, but assumed that we would get some of the pre-order love like battle packs etc...

Was there nothing in it other than the low price?
 
Does this voucher work for BF4 Premium? Right now you get $10 in gmg bucks when you buy premium so if you buy that first you could technically get it for $40, then with the credit use the code again for the game for $48-10 = $38 + $40 = $78 for BF4 with Premium
 
Well that sucks. I always opt out of circular email which potentially contain coupon codes. I did for GMG as well.
