Re: Finish your games challenge - 2015
Will do Stusue.
Well I guess that sale went down the pan. It is a 50% off retail sale, automatically fills in so I'm not sure whether it will be working Monday, but no matter as I won't be using it. I did try the "happy" just to see and it doesn't work. Guess they changed their minds.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2015
Looks like we're getting the same sale this year as we got last year the weekend before Christmas. Maybe that Happy code is for the Christmas Eve and/or Christmas Day sale.
Just checked the archives. Last year, had a CE BOGO on Christmas Eve; CE's were 6.99 on New Year's Eve; and there was a BOGO on New Year's Day. None of those dates work for bonus punches, however.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2015
Hey, everyone, the HAPPY code does work! 
You just have to add 2 CEs, delete the STAY code, then add the HAPPY code, and you have a BOGOF!
I won't be using it, though, as there's only 1, possibly 2, CEs that I want to get and I have coupons that expire just after Christmas, so I'll probably use those on Monday, assuming there's a BPM.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2015
I finished all of the Christmas Story games. Just did the main games only except for Puss in Boots to save time.
I would rank them in this order, based on how fun it was to play, puzzles and Christmas atmosphere, my opinion only, of course.
1. Tin Soldier --- High marks on all 3
2. Christmas Carol --- Good game, enjoyable, some puzzles were tedious to do.
3. Puss in Boots Cute game, Christmas music was skimpy in this one - Wasn't as Christmasy as # 1 & 2
4. Nutcracker ---The least Christmasy, at least in the second half, tons of back & forth.
Going to go and listen to my Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker CD now while I do up the dishes.

stusue -- I don't know where you got the HAPPY code. The only ones I see anywhere are STAY & WARM. Since I have a coupon for a CE game I think I'll wait until Christmas and see if BFG has a real BOGOF. Or a BPM.

I'll try it again on Monday but for now it's not accepting it from me thru the GM or direct on the site. 
No biggie though, I can wait. I should wait until next year.

Nope, Lily, I found it on the RetailMeNot coupon site. 
I think it's the New Year's sale code.
24 people used it yesterday from that site with a 100% success rate, just like me (although I didn't get any games).
Oscar, I have no idea why it won't work for you. I just tried it again and it worked fine - 2 game credits for the first CE, $0.00 for the second. Did you have 2 CEs in your shopping trolley and remember to remove the STAY code before putting in the HAPPY code? Actually, when I just tried it through the BFG site, the STAY code wasn't put in automatically. I just had to add the HAPPY code. But when I tried through the GM, the STAY code was there but when I tried to add a second CE the first one had disappeared.
So, what I did:
1. Went to the BFG US site.
2. Added 2 CEs to the shopping trolley.
3. (Removed the STAY code - didn't have to today.)
4. Added the HAPPY code and hit Apply.
5. Had 2 game credits for the first CE, $0.00 for the second, $0.00 total.

Re: Finish your games challenge - 2015
Happy code worked for me, but I didn't go through with it since I have no credits and it would cost me 13.98 for 2 games.
There was a soft release that came out last week that might be worth checking out. The Last Dream...I did the demo and liked what I played. Good one for using up a pcc.

Stusue - yup that's how I did it. Lol maybe someone's trying to tell me I have too many games!
