Bought KOF MIRA :)

The coupon code is CSAVINGS20

Expires June 30th IIRC

My friend didn't get an email so I gave him the coupon code and it didn't work for him so idk whats up.

Did anybody here get one?

I received one as well...and figured it was spam or something. It's actually legit?

It's account bound, meaning they activate it for some people.

didn't get one either. Was it in an email or did you receive a message to your ebay account?

No coupon here either. I haven't bought anything off eBay since early May, though. I'd be half tempted to make a small purchase as an experiment to see if I immediately receive a message with the coupon code.

It was sent by e-mail but it also shows up in ebay when you look at price of items and when you pay .

I read on another forum about these coupons. People started getting them last week. I haven't gotten one tho. I wonder for those of you who have gotten them, are you active sellers?

All I got was a bill this morning.

Definitely not a seller at all, active or otherwise.

It just showed up in my ebay messages inbox with the message:

I buy often but haven't sold anything in a couple of years.

Like I said in the opening post, I think this has something to do with the PW breach. The message:

Dear ...............,

And yes the coupon does work. I already cashed mine in and my (almost) free game is on its way.

They probably sent it to the accounts that were actually compromised. :lolz:

Better check your credit report, Wachen.
