Red bull code theft
I have saw many posts about how to get the codes of off the red bull cans without purchasing them. People are using code generators to cheat others out of the codes that they paid for. What is being done to those who steal codes by using a generator?
I have saw posts where they stated that they had used 80 to 100 codes generated. That is basically stealing over 300 dollars from others. Will anything be done to those who steal from others?
It has gotten to where 2 out of 3 codes off the cans that I buy have been stolen. That's excessive and something should be done. Hold the thieves accountable for their actions.

Though maybe people are doing that too, I don't know. Nintendo had the same problem with their Club Nintendo system, once the algorithm for creating Wii Mini codes was cracked, it was possible to generate hundreds of thousands of valid codes. I'm sure there were some duplicated from actual Wii Mini units, too. Nintendo banned accounts that were obviously abusing the system (with multiple Wii Minis registered to one account), but beyond this, they didn't react beyond disabling coins from the codes, a month later. I'm not sure what the TOU are for the codes/Destiny but there would likely be legal backlash if Bungie took action and wrongfully punished someone. Edit: apparently Redbull are compensating those whose codes haven't been working. If you Google it, you should find everything you need! :D
