a lot of people have been complainging that their red bull codes have been stolen by those 'damn hackers'. i just wanted to throw this out there... my girl and i have been collecting these tabs for about a month now and have a pile of them. i was going to seel 'em to the Brits on ebay. most of the people have complained that (at best) only like 1 out of 5 codes worked for them; that 'code generaters' have beat 'em to it and that anyone with 20 codes must have stolen them. i just grabbed 7 of them out of my pile and ALL SEVEN OF THEM WORKED JUST FINE! AND THAT'S BESIDES THE OTHER 15 THAT HAVE WORKED FINE... i have only had TWO that haven't worked.
some things you may want to consider...perhaps it was your lil bro or sis that lifted them and put the tabs back in place before you noticed? maybe a problem with the website? or even a simple typo... idk but i'm not saying anyone is over reacting; just maybe blamming the wrong perso/people?

Edited by CrmsnGhost: 9/17/2015 10:10:18 PMYou have to admit that it was poor planning on Redbull and Bungies part to make codes that seemingly only contain F,3,X,4,R,7,V,W, and that using a random number generator you can basically determine as many codes as you need by trial and error. Since they are one use codes as soon as people figured this out the floodgates where opened. Doubly not smart to offer a reward that was in game experiance based... In a game where EVERYONE is just looking for an edge up, scamming a few Redbull codes is not outside the realm of possibility in the lengths people will go.
