There is a list in this other thread: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/discount_code_trades

However, you don't lock them just by checking. The wording in the email is a bit unfortunate. The locking happens when you click Continue after selecting which games you want to buy (second step), not when you click Continue after introducing the code/solving the captcha (first step).

It's not possible to JUST allow the google captchas through? There's no script/etc for that sort of thing?
=================================================

I dislike captchas as much as some do(well not the more extreme types), but to me it's not that bad if I get to save a few more bucks.

Also I can see why GOG might be doing it....some ip holders likely want to limit bigger discounts for some games, and GOG has to comply in a way they can do it without everyone being able to use said codes. Yes, it could be implemented better, but I can see why they likely do it.

Yes, just a gimmick to make people impulse buy as the endless sales have got dry for even the most ardent fan.

I don't know if I simply got lucky, or if it was pure coincidence...but to check the 10 cookies, I only had to do a captcha for the last one.

I hardly ever see captchas here.....I wonder if some clearing out their cookies/with stricter browser settings is causing them to trip the captcha system more often?

Thank you Siegf.. err.. ConsulCaesar :P

If you have some of the privacy features turned on in your browser it might cause more captchas. I think they look at your browser history to determine if you're human before popping up a captcha but if they can't look into your browser history you always get it.

Note: one letter was replaced with a question mark and another with a ¿. Can you figure out which? If you can't solve my riddle, frankly you are not worthy of any discount! :-) Please post if you used any.

That's ironic if one thinks about it....the ones most likely to not like captchas and be annoyed by them get stuck with more of them if they use certain settings to avoid them and similar things.

The problem with the captcha being optimised for invasive browser history tracking is that people that use GOG galaxy have a demonstrably poorer experience.

You have no opportunity to build up a reputable browsing history (no checking Gmail, no logging into Google docs etc), so you get stuck with the strictest possible captcha that can take several attempts to get right.

I've always thought I was sub-human. The inability to pass Google's turing test proves it.

I can send you mine if you want? I won't be using them.

Hello everyone,

I won't be using any of my codes, since my interests are in other games. So send me a PM if anyone needs them.

Please keep in mind the code only works once and is considered "used" once you click the "Continue" button.

As long as you click "Cancel", the code can still be used until the expire date.

Also, some codes have multiple games you can select, just check the boxes of the ones you want, leaving the others unchecked.

Note: Be sure to select all the games you want when it comes to the codes that have multiple games, since you can't go back after continuing to the purchase page.

Enjoy.
