OK, you've all been there before. You are about to purchase something over the web and you see this tempting box called "enter bonus code".

Hmmm..... You try google and couldn't find the right codes but do you easily give up? Your mamma didn't raise no fool. You try to "hack" the bonus code with passwords like:

Freegift
Bonus
God
Buynow
Bonuscode
Free69
sex69 (for those "special" gifts)

I was wondering if any of you have cold cracked a bonus code before. Even if you haven't, what type of generic bonus codes would you guess?

My lucky bonus code is 54HDU84hr65. It hasn't failed me yet.

[Eek!]

That's my Starcraft CD code!

Oh, uh, I meant 54HDU84hp65. Yeah, that's it.

Starcraft CD codes are 16 digits in a 4-4-4-4 pattern.

54HD-U84h-p65
Did you edit out a bunch or did I miss a joke?

Posted by MEC (Member # 2968) on :

my sc code has 13 numbers, like this XXXX-XXXXX-XXXX

I knew it wasn't really a sc code I was just playing along with the joke.
