(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); For all of the people out there who bought BFBC2 used like I did and want free VIP status heres how.

1st-Call EA tec support at (650) 628-1001.

2nd-Listen to the options and click the number on your dial pad that the recording says is for other games.

3rd-Wait on hold for someone to get to you. Ignore the recording saying that they have online support and just hold out for someone, it may take up to 15 minutes.

4th-When someone finally answers they'll ask for your email(MAKE SURE ITS REAL AND USEABLE) and phone number. Then TELL THEM YOU BOUGHT BFBC2 LIMITED EDITION NEW AND YOUR VIP CODE DIDN'T WORK this is very important because if you say used they can't give you a free code.

5th-They will tell you they emailed you a new code, this is why its important to use a real email. Then go to the email and get your code!


This worked for me and I bet other people have done this too. The only way I can see it not working is if they start to catch on and stop giving out free code to people whos code "didn't work". So until then enjoy your free VIP access codes .

So.. be quick and dont act like a noob, If you talk with "Bharat" just dont talk to him.

Hi, my name is Bharat. How may I help you?
2407885658: Hi Bharat, I just bought a game for my son and he tells me that he has one code and cant redeem it
2407885658: He sent me the code right here
2407885658: via email
Bharat: Could you please let me know the code?
Bharat: Also let me know the name of the game?
2407885658: Sure Bharat, let me check my email
Bharat: Okay
2407885658: It says: "Hi mom, thanks for sending me the game, its awesome but I have 1 trouble: the Battlefield Bad Company 2 Ultimate edition VIP Code isnt working and as you know I cant ask support here in Venezuela, so can you ask to change the code?: ****************"
Bharat: Please wait while I check the code
Bharat: Could you please let me know from where did you purchased the game?
2407885658: I got it in Amazon.com
Bharat: I have looked in the records and found that the code is showing invalid.
Bharat: Do you have the game manual and purchase receipt?
2407885658: I can tell my son to send the game manual here
2407885658: I mean, the photo
2407885658: He's living with his grandpa in Venezuela ^^
Bharat: In order to extend assistance in the matter, I request that you provide us a scan copy of the manual (where the code is printed) and of the purchase receipt. Also, it is requested that you put your signature on the documents before scanning it. Once you are ready with the documents, please let me know so that I can check the documents.
2407885658: Ok.. Ill tell him, can you wait... 5 minutes?
Bharat: Sure
2407885658: He tells me that he has no receipt, is there any problem? he has the another part.
2407885658: the game manual
Bharat: Yes, that would help
2407885658: He just send me a photo of the game.. what do I do now?
Bharat: Please attach and send it via attachment in this chat window
2407885658: I guess I sent it
Bharat: Let me check it
Bharat: I am sorry this is not a valid game manual
2407885658: Excuse me?
2407885658: What do you mean?
2407885658: (Sorry for my english, Im not from USA)
Bharat: I mean to say that if you purchase battlefield bad company 2 ultimate edition from origin then only you get Vietname VIP code
2407885658: No no no no! Its a ps3 game! haha excuse me I forgot to tell you that
Bharat: Okay
Bharat: In this case I would suggest you to contact Amazon.com and get the game replaced
2407885658: But the game is okay, but when my son tried to redeem the code it says its unvalid
Bharat: Please contact the retailer and the issue should be resolved
2407885658: But why? please its a gift for my son, I wont pay the shipping from venezuela to Canada just for a code :\... it would just be expensive,
2407885658: cant you just give me a code and replace the malfunctioning code?
Bharat: No, that is not possible
Bharat: Without a valid game manual we cannot submit a request for a new code
2407885658: I told you that is a PS3 game Bharat, not a Origin game or whatelse it is :\
2407885658: He got a sealled game, un-opened and cant redeem the code.
2407885658: Hello?... :\
2407885658: I really hope I can get a new code. I don't like all of this New-age code stuff...it just needs to be patched into the game or something...I've heard of a few other people that had troubles with this and they told me to check here.
Bharat: Please contact your retailer
Bharat: Is there anything else I can help you with today?
2407885658: I called the seller and they told me to go to the EA.com and ask support or call, just what Im doing.
Bharat: I am sorry we cannot assist you further in this regard
2407885658: So, I've got scammed by you?
2407885658: I'll make sure this wont end here, Me and my son will never buy another game from you; I though you could help me but no, this is unfair.
2407885658: Amazon.com wants every order to go as smoothly as possible, but in rare cases, disputes will occur. Since the sales agreement is between the buyer and the seller, Amazon.com cannot intervene in the event of a dispute. Buyers should contact their seller with questions about an Amazon Marketplace or Merchant order.
Bharat: Thank you for your participation. Have a wonderful day. For future reference, a transcript of this chat can be found within the ‘My Stuff’ above.
Bharat: Bye and take care

So they can give you the code OR link a VIP code to your account if they ask you for EMAIL and PSN ID like this:
