Funny thing about Xmas every year. I seem to have to ban the discussion of something. Kindles, Gamestop Coupons, and Apple products has been the last few. I assume there is always going to be some hot item that people are looking to get a deal on that some in this community can't help but to exploit.
But we don't relax our policies on this stuff just because it's Xmas time.

So these were fraudulent? I knew they seemed to good to be true, and was 95% certain they were obtained illegitimately.

I've seen some threads about PSN and Xbox currency like 50$ on PSN for half the price.
That should be disallowed also right? I'm pretty sure it's impossible to buy any legit card for 50% the price and with unlimited stocks o.o

People got the coupons through cracking...basically redeeming gamestop powerup rewards points off other peoples' accounts' for the coupons.

No more selling coupons aye. Lel. Nice omni.

The best thing to do is keep an eye out on the person you are buying from and know what is right and wrong. Anything can be obtained illegally. Main thing being carded. Big example was with COD:Ghosts and everyone wanting to buy Steam gifts. Easily carded and sold for BTC and people were being scammed. Just keep an eye out for people and always check there rep.

Yep, powerup rewards accounts were cracked and people took the coupons.

Were the members that were selling them get any warning? Seems kind of unfair.

I would have to ask the same question. Wouldn't it be close to the same thing?
