Use gametime twice

[bokjasam]

So I've been thinking is it possible to open 2 browsers open same battle.net accounts or even different ones and just input codes for gametime and press redeem at the same time would it work just corious

[Jogex]

Not possible obviously.

Frankly i don't think that's even possible

Technically it is probably possible if you happen to force a race condition on their servers. Goodluck with that.

No, it is not. The codes are stored in a database and even if you had miraculously managed to attempt activating it twice at cosmically precise time, it still wouldn't have worked.

Browser #1: Server, if this code has not been used before, mark it as used now
Browser #2: Server, if this code has not been used before, mark it as used now
Server: Browser #1, roger that, the code is now marked as used
Server: Browser #2, this code has already been used

You assume checking for a valid card, checking if its used, and marking it used are all the same query. In reality, they probably aren't. Even if they were, I would think there is still a chance that the sql server could have evaluated the first half (is it used) before evaluating the second half (mark it used) logic.

Regardless... the answer is that you would need a miracle.

And attempting to achieve that with two browsers and *really fast* clicking is the same as trying to perform a brain surgery with a sledgehammer ))))))))))))))))))))))
