    I tried it for you and it worked. I changed the quantity to 2 in the basket and the price remained the same.

    could you not ask a friend to buy them for you but maybe be there when they buy them to make sure the offer goes through

    Might be a bit late for you, but...
    I tried this (selected item, clicked basket, edited number to 2, clicked update basket) and it did seem to double the price in my basket at the subtotal stage. After clicking proceed to checkout I then chose the address and on the next page which was "items" I could see that I was getting 2 items but only paying for 1.

    Did you carry the transaction all the way through until just before putting in payment card?

    It's only a game
