All the promos only going to U.S

It’s starting to get a little bit annoying how all these promos are U.S. only? Like we have mountain dew here, got the original promo stuff back in the day.

Is there a reason for this?

Please MD consider the OCE region. Aus/Nz/SG and everyone else who plays here!

Consumer protection laws may prohibit certain things. Aus is very strict about that stuff.

My guess it will be to do with promotional costs.

This is 100% allowed here as its been done before and similar stuff else where but my guess would be that Pepsi Australia would have to get involved and pay for cross promotional stuff etc and they’ve (either here or over there) probably determined it’s not worth the cost or just being lazy

Yeah so annoying.

I agree its becoming the norm and bruddy annoying as, am in new zealand and want some of that stuff to

Those give aways are probably illegal where you live.

While I do think maybe the Gamer Fuel could potentially could be banned in New Zealand, we don’t have it in either.

Though we have plenty of Trolli lollies, regular Mountain Dew and Dorritos here.
Even used to get the promotions in the past.

(As much as I want it here).

Lack of engagement even on this forum is likely evidence why they don’t run the promotion either.

It has also now flowed over to the Blizzard Store! I purchased the Ice Murloc Funko Pop Vinyl and had forgotten about the in game pet, until I saw a post today… Only for US residents!!! WTF!! We pay so much extra in postage. now they’re going to jip us out of in game content too?? I put in a ticket and got an AI generated response… good job Blizzard, thanks … :confused: I really don’t understand why they’re region locking these codes, especially on the Blizz store. Not happy >:(

Probably some legal jargin somewhere that changed recently

That’s so terrible and I’m not sure what you can do about it now but if someone is reading this, I heard you can use a freight forwarding company as it gives you a US postal address and they’ll then send you the code but will likely be double the cost :frowning:

It’s beyond a joke, no one can even make excuses now as its for their own promotions

It’s not a competition or lottery so it’s not covered by those protections and there have been plenty of other promotions requiring purchase of products to get rewards for other companies.

it’s simply easier to do stuff US-only due to a whole host of legal reasons :expressionless:

Then we should get a discount on our sub instead of it increasing.
If they can’t be bothered using the extra cash to help with “a whole host of legal reasons” to help us feel included we should get a discount at least :wink:
