Get additional copies of Wrath/WoW free.

[xburnthepalacesx]

I know alot of stores let you exchange copies of the game for an identical game if your "CD" is messed up. The CD isn't really important: It's the key. That's one thing they always completely neglect.

When Wrath hits, buy a copy. (This should actually work for nearly all games) Come home, install, use the key to upgrade your account. Now go back to the store and tell them something along the line of "The CD is corrupt or something, the installer bugs out at like 86%" or whatever. If you have the packaging and receipt most stores will just go get you a new copy and open it (So you can't return the game un-opened) and then send you on your way.

Voila, you've just acquired a free CD key. Give it to a friend, sell it, or use it for your RAF account.

Enjoy. I know at Wal Mart and Best Buy this will work for sure.

Might try this once I get my wrath disk.. Nice idea

I'd rep but says I've gave too much today.

Genious and +rep

This should work with most games (Especially getting more keys for bots / whatever in Diablo 2 / Warcraft 3).

Tell them there is a scratched / broken disc, and they will give you another copy.

Be careful though, as always...

wow! ehh dont have a copy yet, trying to get one asap.

this is old and pretty well known. go to a walmart, theres lots of them and they hire retards to work there. usually try to get a female customer service rep. because they are completely oblivious to whats going on, avoid the nerdy looking dudes at all costs.

I've tried this before with other things that have keys for games, they don't let you return it once it's open

[vivecs]

lol gamestop even gave me a return for a wow battle chest.
But why should he get rep for this?? It's common sense.

[xburnthepalacesx]

It's not common sense, otherwise the stores would have caught on by now


You don't "Return the game" you "Exchange it for an identical copy". Almost all stores will let you do this.

[Dcdude]

lol dang i gotta try this =)

[Marauding Master]

Lucky Americans, all stores here have a no-return policy for online games these days. Had to talk for half an hour to return a broken game that didn't even need a key.

[Henessy]

Some stores have a " Once opened, No Return " Policy. This scam might not work at times.

[Vannakix]

Nice, but I'm pretty sure the people working at GameStop know that WOW uses Cd-Key's...

You're only hope is Wal-Mart, but I already attempted and they didn't let me return.

[Henessy]

You can try BestBuy™ or Future Shop™.

I have returned WOW There Before, with the Box Opened.

People at some stores might be wiser as to what you're doing, but it's not an actual return, it's an exchange for an identical product because the one you purchased did not work. They can't tell you "It's not our fault you bought defective software" because it's from their shelves and SOMETIMES it actually happens (I've bought a few CDs that were corrupt for one reason or another).

Worse that can happen, they tell you they won't swap it or they only swap the disc. Best (And more likely), they're a moron like everyone else and just swap out your copy for a new copy, but they'll open the box before you leave so you can't return it as unopened.
