I think you just have to be patient. Keep trying the links, both of mine took a little while.

At the code part it constantly says there was a glitch, try again.

Make sure you log in with the same username as you used on the voting page. I signed into the voting site with a throwaway account name, and then at the GMG code page used my GMG details like it said. I got that "glitch in the matrix" error every time, but on a whim tried using the username from the voting site and it worked first time.

Copy/paste from another thread.

Couldn't get the code yesterday, had some strange error message Ops you did not vote etc. But I waited about 12 and tried again today and I was able to get the free key.

So if you get the error message telling that you haven't voted yet even if you had then wait until the next day.

I was getting that "oops" message at first. Now all activate on steam.

I just waited the 24 hours like it said on their site and the link worked to send me my code.

Already have both

Might sign up to get the codes and give them my dad.

I don't get it... I signed up, voted, submitted votes, all went well but there's no mention anywhere of any steam keys :/ Do they just come through an email a bit later on?

CaptainRAVE · 14 Oct 2013 at 12:59

My biggest problem is the lack of selection and worthy games to vote for. Probably got a lot more votes this year.

pestt · 14 Oct 2013 at 14:38

Bizarre, yesterday the email code link kept going round in circles. Today, bing! Worked first time. Sunday glitch I guess..

Finally got my key! Google Apps had moved the activation mail (all the others came through ok) to spam and not forwarded it to my main Gmail account. Check yer spam if you've got nowt.

Yup, same here. Got mine this morning.

They've now run out of codes, apparently.

Shame, glad I saw this thread when I did then, great deal, wasn't even a long survey. Get to Play Civ V now (never actually played a Civ game but always fancied one).

fozzybear · 18 Oct 2013 at 17:58

I finally got my Mafia II code through today. I just clicked on the original link from a week old 'Redeem your FREE Game!' email and my code was with me a few minutes later.
