I am redeeming many codes from game giveaways like on Amazon Prime on GOG and recently ran into the issue that what feels like half the time I have to solve a captcha to redeem the code.
I am not even “spamming” codes, it is like once a week two to three codes. The problem is that the type of captcha GOG uses is very very often completely unsolvable. I have to skip through many until I find one that I have the experience that it will work.
Is there any way around that? I cannot believe people would be spamming codes so much that redeeming them should require captchas.
They recently announced that this would be necessary. They also said that this would mostly be during peak times, so the moment the Amazon prime codes are released for example. Assuming this is correct, the workaround would be to just wait a day, or 2, or 5.
True, I am not getting this every time. But is today a peak day?
Yes, it’s the first of the month, which is the most heavy of all days for the the giveaways. They sometimes come out on other days, but only a few.
