That's odd. While I received two emails as well, they both contained the same link. Guess yours must be a different case.Except the links are different on both e-mails, and the both e-mails are about same thing but content differs greatly - the one I suspect being false has no indication of even linking to the same website it comes from. And even the advertisement on the e-mail has the exact same links, instead, you know, leading to whatever it advertises.
I was going to back-order, but it seems you have to register to do so, -and- you have to add your credit card details to register so they can "check them", even when I have no plans to use my card to pay since I use Paypal only.
I guess I'll wait and hope the gametime cards are restocked before the 20th after the waiting list is cleared.
I play with an EU acccount but don't live in the UK so I tried to use a Mail Forwarder. Unfortunately I couldn't register on the retarded ShopTo website because my forwarding address is 1) too long and 2) has a slash "/" and dash "-" in them.
It seems that even if I can order (PS4 time card as I already own other titles) they don't have the stock and I won't get a code even if I pay now as I will have to physically receive the order in order to get a code. It also seems that at the start of the event, most of the items are on back order.
Wow. I gotta hand it to Square Enix to choose a piece of shit like ShopTo.
I know I'm likely in the vast minority when saying this but I actually hope that if they do europe campaigns, that they stick to online methods, instead of something like Gamestop, as I'd have to travel around 40 to 60 miles to get to the closest Gamestop store from where I live. And that's assuming I even have accurate info, as some of the nearby ones have gone out of buisness lately

I am fine with online, but then it has to be a place where one can order digital codes and not just physical games/items. A large part of us does not live in the UK, some of us outside the European Union and I would never bother to order a game from a site where I would have to pay for them to send it too me. I'd buy it where I live, or from a site that offered digital codes. I also think having digital download codes would remove the problem of items going out of stock as we have seen here.
II hope SE comes with some kinda clarification here, as I would really prefer not to back-order and then have to wait an unknown amount of time for the codes
It's been 24 hours now since they took my money for my order and still no codes. My Order tab is empty still... But the money went through and they sent me an email that confirms my order.
I feel scammed at this point, and I had to spend £47 because of shipping costs, since I don't live in UK.
SE, your playerbase is being cheated on your own promo, and your reputation is falling drastically. Fix this!
Hopefully the order page will update Monday if you've been charged already. If not then try Shopto's support. I did use them a few times before this campaign and the website is a bit crummy and slow to update but they do send the products.It's been 24 hours now since they took my money for my order and still no codes.

I received my codes, so I'm happy - I now have all the promotional items that I desired to add to my collection. With that said, it took a very long time to reach this point and I do hope that things will be smoother for European players if there's another promotion in the future. I believe there's still a lot of people who are in need of codes, though so I really hope things work out for them too.
