Hello everyone,
Alienware is giving out 300g + 1 day premium bonus codes to all players.
European version for EU accounts
American version for US accounts
The problem is, I was away whole morning and when I came back (now), the pages say they are overloaded and to try again shortly – so I have absolutely no idea whether there are any codes left. Thanks to the 40 or so folks, who sent me message about it too :)
Edit: yes, it still works. There are cca 6300 codes left as of now for EU server. Note that you CANNOT redeem more than one code on your account, so it’s pointless to make more Alienware accounts to get more codes.
Ye, it took me about 10 minutes to get it, and I actually succeeded. If it says that the page is too busy, just press the reload page button a loooot and eventually you’ll get throu it ;)
These codes appear to work on both NA and EU accounts. I used a code on my NA account, and though it was successfully used, didn’t show any added gold to my NA account yet. I don’t have a NA client installed, so I am relying on status shown on my NA web portal.
I wonder if a code can be used on both NA and EU before expiring… as in usable twice but on different servers. (I don’t want to try it on my EU profile just yet, in case it works I would like to save the premium day for later when I can play).
Around 6k codes left.
Codes are not for everyone :(
Unfortunately, a key could not be assigned to you. This can occur for one of several reasons, including:
- 1) We’ve ran out of keys before we could assign one to you while you were in the queue.
+ 2) You are in a country or region that is not eligible to receive a key.
- 3) A key has already been assigned to you.
Ye, its only for NA and EU. Did you press the refresh button while it was actually gonna give you the code?
No I didn’t.
I am from Slovakia, which is EU region. I’ve sent email to AW, now I am waiting for reply :/
Btw. Slovak players couldn’t participate in NVidia tournament also…
Hmm, I really don’t know. Have you registered on the site there?
Worked for me. You just have to create an Alienware Acc, then get lucky with the high load, press the “Get Key” button.
If it worked, you get this message (like me):
Information!
You’re in the queue!
Your approximate wait time is less than 60 minutes. You will be notified via email if you have been assigned a code. If you do not receive an email within 24 hours, please email support at europe@alienwarearena.com. In the meantime, check out our events page to view upcoming online and on-site events in your area.
And now I got the key sent to mail registered mail account – it only took 5 minutes.
I did not get my gold :( , only 1 day premium :(, can somean tell me why ?
Wait for a minute and you get it. Try to re-login into the game.
Ok , thx :) i get them .
No gold, no premium time after activating code for me :( Still waiting….
About 5k left hurry.
I will get 10. Why? Cuz i’m a sellfish mothafucka!
And what will you do with the 9 codes what you can’t use?
You mean 5 codes cuz I already have 5 accounts. The other 5 codes… I will give them to some poor bastards.
5 accounts? O.o you sir have too much free time O.o
Only 1 is in use , the others are just reserves.
My main account is on EU, but I have one reserve account for NA (while I don’t even have a NA client installed), but I used an invite code for it and any bonus codes for NA accounts that i find. I may decide to use it in future, so no harm in keeping a reserve account, and its not against the Rules to have one account per region (not that anyone cares for such a rule).
“its not against the Rules to have one account per region”
Me: almost 30 accounts(more then 20 abandoned) EU, less then 10 NA, 4 SEA, 2 RU.
I’m pround of myself and the shit i’m doing…
“The bonus code has been successfully redeemed on your account.”
got one too
thx
Patience and an account is all you need. I just refreshed the page several hundred times and got the code. :)
Alienware is unbelievably retarded. They keep offering those codes for a game with millions of fucking players although they know their servers can’t handle the huge traffic.
Survival of the players with the most patience.
Took under 10min to get code :) Now I just need to get a day off from work (and gf) to make full benefit of it….
I’m spamming f5 and now i get this error
Error 503 – Down for Maintenance
That was racist from Alienware not allowing me to download if my account is from the NA region.
Thank god we got VPNs nowadays!!!
I’m in queue waiting the key email.
Is there a time limit until you can use the code?
Not normally, no!
YES there is always a time limit of 2-3 months or more! after that the code is useless!
Thanks SS. Appreciate it. Helped some clan members too :)
PSA: As of 9am GMT -3 DST (effective GMT-2, EST+2), there are 2.8k codes left on the NA page.
Yeah, I only got the 1 day of premium, 0 gold added :(
Yes! Got one! Just needed half an hour of spamming refresh….
1298 left…
EU Available Keys: 1298
Im spamming refresh and it keeps saying too many requests from you. Are they even going to give me the code if i keep doing that?
Worked for me just keep trying, took about 10 mins
I would add i was opening multiple windows and clicking grab key on each one…
I managed to get my code and it worked for me!
But my friend said, that he cant get this code. The website said he`s in a queue and he will get the code per eMail. So now, he isnt in the queue anymore and he didnt recieve the code per eMail.
What shall he do now?
Greetings from (cold) Germany
Was down to about 1k codes, now back to 8k :)
Looks like they added more codes, it says 8k codes now.
Those mofos from Alienware are smart ,they don’t give codes to people with same ip and but different emails.
Pfff…No problem with Easy Hide IP.
How can you enter the site if i click the link i get the error Error 503 – Down for Maintenance
Wow i got some kind of IP ban for alienware arena site somehow. I just registerd and spammed some f5 to redeem my code and then the whole site says. this error.
After that I used an proxy and i could enter the site. so i guess they IP blocked me.
but i have an code now :)
Servers overloaded lol
Yay, got it! :P
Got my key after ~15 minutes of trying. Thanks SS.
This is impossible. Error 427 or Error 503. And if you spam it, you get that “down for maintenance” error. Sitting here for an hour or so and still nothing. Would be nice if there actually was a queue or some shit.
Maybe someone got more than 1 and can spare one?
i’ve been at this for like two hours. Still no code =/
if any kind soul care to give me a code i’d be really grateful. my e-mail is: joaocarlosc@gmail.com
thank you!
Got one,tnx SS.
I kept spamming “refresh” on several tabs but I never got a confirmation message,I just received an e-mail with the key,so while you keep spamming you might wanna check your e-mail from time to time,it took me about 5 mins to get one but it was probably even less because I didn`t check my e-mail constantly.
Please, can anyone send me a code?
E-Mail:
nomo2010@hotmail.de
And now we have beggars…
Just to inform you if you get the too many requests error message it might help to reset your Internet Connection of your router to get a new ip it worked for me on the first try after resetting it.
Good Luck
Error 429 – Too Many Requests (from you)
nice one like always
I’m just watching the keys go away while getting an error message: “Error 503 – Extremely high traffic – please try again shortly”
yes me too this is sucks realy
2020 Keys left but cant get one… -.-
After 5 min pressing F5 I receive bonus code for 1 day premium account (no 300Gold :( )
1400 code left !
Finally got one…
Good stuff…..and being an AlienWare user too makes me proud of the brand doing this :D thanks AW.
Any luck guys?….refreshing for 15 minutes and still getting either 503 or 429 error.
Also, any hint on how many codes left?…my cache refuses to clear anymore after refreshing so many times.
Weird….they sent it to me via e-mail o.O
Hey, till what time you still can use this CODE ?
I would guess until end of the year.
First high load error and after few refreshes: Error 429 – Too Many Requests (from you)
Guess i’m out of the queue…
Error 503 – Extremely high traffic – please try again shortly
just put a cup/glass/something on the F5 button and wait till you receive an e-mail
Yesss! Coffee cup worked :) . I was too shy to do that, previously i had some decency to wait a few seconds between refreshes – it was a mistake.
PS: strange, i only got premium time, no gold for me. Anyone can confirm this 300gold thing? Who got gold? I’m thinking about filing a support ticket :P , only i want to be sure first.
PS2: stranger and stranger, premium was added immediately, but gold after like 10minutes…
So, everything is OK now :) .
It took quite some effort, but got one. Thank you for the tip.
Poor guys didn’t know what kind of traffic they would suck in with such an offer ! BTW I didn’t even know error 429. :)
There are Error Codes for Everything.
After 45 minutes of F5 spam I gave up. It wrote always “Whoops! The page could not be found. Try giving it another chance below.”
I tried for 50mins says there are 600 left for each region but I cant get any codes.
What crap.
“Down for maintenance” apparently. GG Alienware.
I’d say “GG FTR”. Alienware Tango Down :P .
Out of Keys GG.
From site: All keys claimed for this week. Another batch of keys to be added next week!
Next week – next gold :) :) :)
Only for NA/EU, Asia always misses out…
