£3 off at GAME uk - Multiple use "loophole(?)" here

AshClarke

Hi everybody. Here is something I discovered at GAME online.
I was about to pre-order a selection of games, that I would have bought upon release, with a £3 off voucher code I came across.

Here's the thing. It was suggested to me by a mate on irc that I should not buy them all at once, but buy each game individually. This was a bit of an eye-opener for me, as well as a "duuuuuhhh" moment.

This £3 off code: ID734TJAW takes £3 off your order (my cheapest item was £29.99), but I do not know how long it lasts or if there is a minimum spend.

EDIT: It looks like it could be £30, looking at another thread (sorry), but my cheapest item was £29.99 and I still got the £3 discount, so not sure about that one.

I pre-ordered 4 PC games (Spore, Brothers in Arms: HH, Fallout 3, Far Cry 2) and an Xbox 360 game (Fable 2). The total cost of these came to about £180, however, they are not all released at the same time (I think this selection are released over the next couple of months - yeah, I'm an avid gamer ) and GAME only charge your card upon dispatch.

This means that I have until around 2 days before the release date to cancel should I change my mind. I have saved £15, by ordering each game separately and applying the ID734TJAW code each time. I also selected the Free Delivery option.

In addition to this, GAME offers double points for pre-orders, so I earned about 3000 - 4000 points (about 10-12 quid).

That's a total saving of around 25-27 quid on a bunch of games I would have bought anyway, and the 10-12 pounds of reward points I can use for the next game (In fact i'll probably save them for now )

I called this a loophole, because it feels like it should be. If GAME decide to be stingy and take away the discount on 4 of the items, I still have made a £3 discount and the reward points. I'll update on any changes.

Hope this helps!!

I have done this before with multiple items ordering them separately to max out the discount and Game haven't taken away any of the discount at all.
You can also go through quidco as well and save yet even more money. Kerching!!
