lugum: then you arent doing something right. invalid is invalid. if its already been redeemed then it would say that.
Maybe I'm not then, I've never gotten to promo codes in time before. All I did was copy-paste it into the gog.com/en/bonus thing.

klaattu: I think you only redeem the games you don't own, and the rest reamains
When you gift a multiple game code and someone(Who owns one or more of the games being gifted.) redeems it then the gifter effectively pays for the giftee to basically "lose" the extra copies of the games they already owned.

So if someone gifts Thief 1-3 and the person who takes it has 1-2 already, the giftee will get Thief 3 and the other two games will be lost(And the gifter will have lost/wasted money on them, in effect.)

Really like the Netherlands by the way, everyone there has a great sense of humor and a sharp mind.

Are you sure? Because that would be illegal.

Ahhhh. Thanks a ton. Unfortunately, now, with my dawdling in the wrong place, they're all gone. +1 for the help though :)

you make it sound confusing and wrong if i read it right.

simple put, if you have a code, and you dont own 1 or 2 games from it you redeem those games. and the remaining non redeemed games remain valid for someone else to take.

i just did with thief 3, and if you read this thread one code 3 people got a game from it.

You need to use the Redeem Gift link at the bottom of the page ...

Not true, as evidenced by the third code above. I claimed Thief 3, Detlik claimed Thief II and ne_zavarj got Thief Gold, all from the same code.
