About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

It is smooth atleast the local stores I went into different shops and got many codes only 1 shop told me its for games only but after telling them to check it again they gave the code for any product.

Yeah and other people had problems in the locals stores. ^^; And the online situation was not really smooth from the very beginning. I mean they did not know that the codes come from buying online too and only thanks to SE we could even get them there and yet even though we have to wait till its Tuesday each week to get the code per mail they still managed to have problems and only send them out on Wednesday (without any note on their website) and still not everyone got the code. That does not mean that everything went bad for everyone but it does not feel smooth for me.

@Theodric: Oh sorry forgot that x_x. Then why did they even offer the second one? Really the whole situation and all the decisions that were made really confuse me.

Is it just slight technical problem and they will send the code later? Or the code is gone and we got nothing?

Well in the German forum one from the FF14 team said, that if we did not get a code till now we should contact support. (But only if you ordered before Tuesday, if you ordered afterwards you need to wait till Tuesday next week) So theoretically we should already have our codes, if everything went alright. But I fear that since the online part was not planned by Gamestop, the codes are not sent completely automatic..so if someone is behind this than there will never be a 100% safety that they wont forget someone..so if you don't have your code till tomorrow I think it would be the best to contact support too.

Who? If you be nice and are able to communicate you dont have any problems in a local store.

Well I did not say that everyone had a problem but that it was not really smooth for everyone, be it store or online (especially online..)
Why did some people had to mention that they want the code if they had the right amount of money on their receipt? I mean this is a promotion campaign for SE to get new players. But if you have to ask if you get the code than this will mostly be something only FF14 players will get. It might be that most people got their code after arguing with the employees but for me this is not smooth. Smooth is going into the store, buy something for the amount of money and get the code without having to ask for it. Even if this happens only in some stores, this is still negative for Gamestop, since they seemingly are not able to tell every store in the country how the campaign goes.

I am also quite sure that the person that only got the FF14 code and not the FF15 one, because they had to decide between them, argued with the employees about it.

Like I said, I dont say that everyone had a bad experience and maybe those bad ones are really a small number but seeing how they first did not even know that the campaign is also online, then reading about the negative experiences in the forum and having a bad one myself..well I am not really that happy about this promotion..and even though I finally got my code after contacting both supports I will probably not order something from Gamestop again..
