Send a message to support. They are the only ones who can help you with your problem. It should be an easy issue for them to resolve.
Go to support, than contact us and shoot a message. There won't be a confirmation screen(as I believe that is still glitched) but it should be sent.

Hopefully support can help but don't expect a quick response since they don't work on the weekends.

OldFatGuy: I tried to do something nice, and I wanted to remain anonymous, but now I have completely screwed it up and I'm afraid I've screwed myself out of quite a few bucks.

I don't know who to contact. Can we get refunds here??? Does anyone know???

I went into the gifting thread, and wrote down 6 of the names with 6 of the games they were wishing for. And bought them.

I thought I would get six separate codes, and would be able PM each one his/her own code. But there was only one code. And if I redeem it myself I'm screwing myself because I alreaday own 4 of the 6.

Please help me someone. I don't want to just lose this money.

So, so sorry for screwing this up.
You feel sorry for what exactly mate? Chill out. There is no need to be sorry for anything. Kudos for the idea and a round of aplause
OK, thanks. Duh, don't know why I thought support was just technical support, but for some reason that's what I had in my wacky mind.

Man I'm so sorry for screwing this up so badly.

Thank you all for responding and new readers of this thread there is no need for further responses because I put in a message to support. So I'll just have to wait until next week to see if it gets sorted out.

My bad.
One thing I don't know is if I should put the names and games in this thread so as other gift givers would know these are already done??? Or maybe it won't be resolved next week???

Ugh, what a mess.

I dont know if you know, but if you redeem the code getting 2/6 code should still have remaining 4/6.

I've never did that myself, but I've heard people had that.

He'd get 2/6 and be left with 4/6 in the code, but the problem is, none are intended for him I think :)

And you can't spread it around 6 people like that, unless they all happen to be missing only that particular game and none of the other 5.

I supposed so, but it was just an informative post.
I've read that it should be possible to get refunds as long as you didn't download any of the games yet. I trust you can work something out with GOG next week, especially since you erred while trying to do good.

As a sidenote, if you redeem a code that contains games you own, the games you already own won't be voided but will remain on the code. So let's say you have a code with Planescape Torment and Psychonauts on it and you already own Torment but not Psychonauts, if you redeem it, only Psychonauts will be added to your account and the code will still contain Torment and be redeemable for anyone who doesn't own it yet.

EDIT: Argh, ninja'd already! :D
But I can confirm that it works, you can split a code between several people, but it requires some planning because whenever it is redeemed, the redeemer will get alll games they don't own yet and only the ones they already own will remain on the code.

So you've bought 6 codes, for 6 people, and are worried that someone would take more than their fair share? It is unlikely. You could try simply telling each of them to only take the code you've given them. Though someone always makes a 'mistake'.

A person can choose to only redeem part of a gift, so it's just trust that's the problem.

I've done this before. Contact support. They will help you. Just explain what happened and tell them you need the bundle broken down into separate codes. As long as you don't try to redeem the one code you should be good.

I don't follow.

I only got one code, not six. (and it was actually seven games, my bad).

Are you saying whenever someone redeems a code with seven games on it they are asked first which one or two they are redeeming and the others remain ok??? Are you sure???

I would think trust wouldn't be an issue because they would be getting a gift to begin with, but I just don't think it works that way. I think whoever puts in the code, it will place all games in that bundle that don't already own on their shelf. Won't it?

Are you sure you get to choose? I didn't know that, I was under the impression that every game from the code that you don't own yet is automatically added to your account if you redeem a code.

That was my understanding.
