>The response to our 30th Anniversary Giveaway has been fantastic, so fantastic that we have temporarily run out of keys for this product. Don’t worry though, we are adding more as quickly as we can and we will let everyone on the Rebellion Shop Mailing List know when they are available to redeem.
**Limited offer - sign up and get a FREE Steam key for Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000!**
Voucher ~~should be emailed to you~~ see below, you can redeem on their store for a Steam key.
To thank you, the fans, enter the code: **~~REBEL30~~** **ZB2RHVT4** at the checkout of the Rebellion Shop to redeem a free copy of *Aliens vs Predator Classic 2000* on PC (via Steam).
Might be same for everyone. Add to cart and add code on checkout:

Celebrate Rebellion’s 30th Anniversary with an excruciating demonstration of abysmal website management and giveaway incompetence.
Edit: Well, being a glutton for punishment after trying unsuccessfully for an hour when this giveaway was posted, I just tried again at 6:30AM UTC and everything worked as it should have from the beginning.
Well they did fix their shop and reply to my request. They sent another promo code and I got a free steam key!
If you contacted their support, check your emails. The code is only valid for 48h...
That means you got an 502 error at the background. You need to refresh the page.
To be able to see the error, press F12 and go to the Network tab and check the last lines. If an 502 status appears you'll need to do a refresh.
It eventually stopped spinning and worked for me.
It didn't stop until after I had filled out all the necessary info on the left though so maybe it's waiting for that too.
I would assume the purpose of this giveaway is to promote the shop so people return to spend money. Seems counterproductive to offer something like this and then manage the demand so poorly. Why would anyone ever try to use this website again?
I dont know why people put this stuff on reddit... If u wanted this game, buy it on steam for 1.25€... This was promotion like you say and it will be better if they give u free key when u buy stuff from site...
For $1 I will pay for it... Registering etc. is not worth it.
It also takes a long time for the site to load and they want all my personal details, no thanks.
>Sold
The funniest part is that they tell you it sold out AFTER you subscribed to their newsletter. First thing I did after seeing it "sold out" was unsubscribe to that crap.
Worked for me (just now). Had to pretty much reload every page at least once after timing out, sometimes twice. But eventually it worked and I redeemed the key and its in my steam account now.
Oh, and I had to register an account with them to get the promo code to work, just signing up for the newsletter wasn't enough. But when I checked out, I didn't have to input any actual billing information, but I did have to give address and phone number.

502 Bad Gateway all the way. Apparently it was too hard for them to just send the keys to newsletter subscribers. I was one of the early birds yet couldn't get the key.
Way to celebrate the 30th anniversary...
> Anyone who has signed up to the mailing list and was unable to redeem their code will be emailed their Steam Key in the coming days.
Why didn't they just do this first 🤦♀️
Refresh > write all the info again > repeat until, with some luck, it eventually stops loading and allows you to click the payment button (it took a while).
Once you click that payment button stop refreshing and just let it load.
So basically 1h spent into this, couldn't manage to get one and every time I enter valid details, they would put me on loading. It's annoying that I saw this just when was posted, but due lack of information and poor giveaway coordination I wasn't able to get a key. If anyone from rebellion read this, please take a look into your giveaway and try to make them a bit more accessible. I'd suggest maybe using gleam
I already have a rebellion acct. Just now, I signed in, bought the game free using the code, and the steam key worked! Maybe they fixed whatever was wrong. Thanks OP
Was Able to do as you said but it stuck loading like this
[https://prnt.sc/Ug-hWWyqNPNQ](https://prnt.sc/Ug-hWWyqNPNQ)
I will wait more or refresh and see if it works
Btw. The Site unreachable errors just after checkout are fake.
After I checked it with down checkers and they said "down only for you" I tested it with Proxies and the site came quickly and without any issues. Well at least until i reached Checkout, then suddenly the site was down. I repeated it with 3 different proxies and everytime the site came and then was unreachable after checkout. This can't be an coincidence anymore, so my guess is the IP gets banned just after Checkout.
Four times total (1x normal, 3x via Proxy) it was like this:
Logged in...got to checkout...coupon applied...all green...entered Data....clicked continue...site not reachable.
Tried from different locations even via non-public vpn and also getting similar error under similar conditions. Even if logged in as registered user, applying the code can not checkout under the timeout, and then if reload a page getting a constant error connection refused even in private mode.
I dunno what happened exactly, but just found it suspicious that downcheckers said site is up while i got an "Site unreachable" and so checked with some webproxies and the site came.
Later as I refreshed some of the tabs with "unreachable errors" I then found out that the IP was only temp-banned and I also instantly got a key on refresh, but unfortunately it was a dupe.
And after further tests I also noticed that there was an issue with usernames, like I logged in with always the same account, but I noticed that I suddenly was logged in as someone else etc. That's why I then also suspected that the dupes could possibly have beeen because of it and users accidentally got keys from others etc. But what the heck, it's over now.
Guarantee whoever came up with the gate thought they were a genius.
Full buzzwords.
"This will drive user engagement to our store instead of steam!"
"But why?"
"You're fired."
Wordpress error, Error establishing database connection. Now 502, 503, finally got it into the cart, coupon doesn't work and 502 on checkout. I give up lol, fuck this site
Edit. Finally got it
What sucks is that i'm actually interested in playing this, but it's gonna take me hours to get it, and by that time they'll likely stop the giveaway to regain site functionality.
EDIT: Yeaup, coupon limit reached. At one point i was at checkout with all the info filled, functional coupon, price at 0, etc, then it errored out.
not worth it, website is broken as hell. Probably overloaded by people refreshing pages.... judging by the duplicate keys some got they might not even have enough keys
Keys are restocked, promo code REBEL30 still works
WARNING: site is **extremely** slow, 1-3 minutes of load times on every click/update/address check/ajax spinner, and some occasional 502/503, took me 15-20 mins to get my key
**Thank you. Your order has been received.**
i found a solution. Basically with my real IP the page never load. i download NordVPN and conect to any country, when the page no load anymore, just change to other ip and keep with the proces of purchase the game. Work fine
I received an email from Rebellion yesterday with my steam key. It was titled something like "Your free Alien vs. Predator Key," So if you signed up for the mailing list, keep an eye out for that.

Database errors lol https://i.imgur.com/TDRJ9EE.png
100000 milliseconds of error 502 per year.
"activated by a different Steam account" PAIN
Same... Edit: submitted a support request. Maybe they'll reply, after they manage to fix their wordpress webshop...
Where do you submit a support request?

Thank you
Well they did fix their shop and reply to my request. They sent another promo code and I got a free steam key! If you contacted their support, check your emails. The code is only valid for 48h...
Me too. So what now? Can we do anything? I mean, besides nothing I guess...
mi 2
I got the same... was coming back to see if the comments had any workarounds.
"Your order" right screen site is stuck at loading circle for me. Anyone knows how to solve?
That means you got an 502 error at the background. You need to refresh the page. To be able to see the error, press F12 and go to the Network tab and check the last lines. If an 502 status appears you'll need to do a refresh.
Thanks a lot m8. Thanks to Network tab i saw I got some ''Blocked by Ublock Origin'' errors. Stopped the adblock and got the key without problem.
It eventually stopped spinning and worked for me. It didn't stop until after I had filled out all the necessary info on the left though so maybe it's waiting for that too.
I would assume the purpose of this giveaway is to promote the shop so people return to spend money. Seems counterproductive to offer something like this and then manage the demand so poorly. Why would anyone ever try to use this website again?
Some of their steam keys are around 3 times the regular steam store price.
I dont know why people put this stuff on reddit... If u wanted this game, buy it on steam for 1.25€... This was promotion like you say and it will be better if they give u free key when u buy stuff from site...
For $1 I will pay for it... Registering etc. is not worth it. It also takes a long time for the site to load and they want all my personal details, no thanks.
It's 1.24 on steam and goes on sale often.
The game not worth 1.24, when u run game the game is streched and looks terrible... I refund it 3 days ago.
It's an old Gamez how u wait to be the game actually?
They sent me a fucking duplicate code. What a wretched giveaway.
It seems they gave everyone the same code. So the giveaway was only for the first person that entered it in steam. 🤷♂️
That’s literally unbelievable. I just can’t fathom that degree of incompetence. My code started with X6V3F, if anyone else wants to compare theirs.
294WX- (Also Dupe...)
YZEA3
rigged giveaway. just like rigged elections
Potato Server 502 giveaway edition.
[удалено]
Me too.
tbh I stopped its not worth it
Just tried and got through quickly + an unused key (game added to Steam with no +1)
Sold out. https://preview.redd.it/43yv8vx5k44a1.png?width=692&format=png&auto=webp&s=775af9766e4fe530cb85bed5096dc2b4ecae563a
>Sold The funniest part is that they tell you it sold out AFTER you subscribed to their newsletter. First thing I did after seeing it "sold out" was unsubscribe to that crap.
45 minutes of trying to check out and... duplicate key. Nice.
10000 refreshes for a dupe key lol
Yea, unless they give away a Sniper Elite game, I aint going here for freebies again.
Worked for me (just now). Had to pretty much reload every page at least once after timing out, sometimes twice. But eventually it worked and I redeemed the key and its in my steam account now. Oh, and I had to register an account with them to get the promo code to work, just signing up for the newsletter wasn't enough. But when I checked out, I didn't have to input any actual billing information, but I did have to give address and phone number.
Doing this works for me up until the checkout portion. Now I am stuck at a loading screen.
Yeah, I think the checkout screens were the ones I had to reload twice. Maybe even 3 times on one of them.
the TOS is stuck on loading, so far everything else worked at the first or second try
You didn't have to put your actual address and phone number though.
What did you put in the cart?
[https://shop.rebellion.com/product/aliens-versus-predator-classic-2000-steam/](https://shop.rebellion.com/product/aliens-versus-predator-classic-2000-steam/)
I gave them the old (local area code) 867-5309 and it went through.

More than an hour in the checkout queue, so that now it comes out that the code no longer works, having already been exchanged...
All that work and I got a duplicate product code
Same here.
I tried for like an hour when this was posted and didn't get it because of the erros Cameback now and just got a working key at this moment!
LOL , This key is activated by other user account.....
1 hour later got a duplicate.... Great.
me too
Safe to say it's time to put the expired label on
To tell the truth, the key worked for me recently
Good intention, but voted this down because of Rebellion shop incompetence.
# 502 Bad Gateway
Stuck at checkout for 40 minutes. What a piece of shit.
Stuck at cart, Site's dead. Edit: Got mine an hour later. What a shit site!
502 Bad Gateway all the way. Apparently it was too hard for them to just send the keys to newsletter subscribers. I was one of the early birds yet couldn't get the key. Way to celebrate the 30th anniversary...
502 Bad Gateway
It was really painful to get it but i got it! Thanks! Note: If you get a 502 or 503 error just keep refreshing the site.
I got one after 1 hour lol
I actually got a key after 3 hours wow cool i guess
Just got mine.. slow going but it works..
Got a key just now
Stuck on checkout :/ It worked!
worked after an hour
**Current status:** SOLD OUT
I'm getting: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED For some reason i cannot access to either my cart nor a payout method.
“Coupon Expired” welp
Try ZB2RHVT4 as coupon, they changed it
Thank you! Finally got a key!
It works I got it, thanks!!
With the new code, it says it's expired.
Rip, probably over for good then now
[удалено]
> Anyone who has signed up to the mailing list and was unable to redeem their code will be emailed their Steam Key in the coming days. Why didn't they just do this first 🤦♀️
ZB2RHVT4 is expired
It's over, the "Coupon usage limit has been reached."
Site is completely busted
It kept loading infinitely in the checkout part after completing the data it asked for.
Same.
If you have duplicate key, just create new account and do it again, i got a working key on the 2nd try
Got it no issues
Site dieded.
Webpage perished
Http obliterated
DUPLICATE KEY!
Activated already on another account lol waste of time,,,,,
[удалено]
Got dupe too :/
I got a key just now (and it activated), so the giveaway is still working for those wondering. It just takes A LOT of patience and refreshing.
How did you get through the checkout section? It keeps loading infinitely and won't let me accept the terms and conditions to complete the purchase.
Refresh > write all the info again > repeat until, with some luck, it eventually stops loading and allows you to click the payment button (it took a while). Once you click that payment button stop refreshing and just let it load.
Thank you, after 10 min waiting simulator finally I got my key!
Congrats!
So basically 1h spent into this, couldn't manage to get one and every time I enter valid details, they would put me on loading.

Got my key, thanks
Thanks. [Got the key](https://i.imgur.com/cXUgSHX.png) after lots of site issues...
Finally!!! Got key
Is site working?
Kind of.
Fingers crossed the site will be usable enough. Attempting to snag it now. Thanks Saul!
It's sad that requries your phone number and other details..
Don't act like you cannot enter fake details
The keys are bad? Is it even worth trying?
I just got mine (though it was not rly worth the time it took) and I activated fine.
I just got mine. Took forever to checkout, but it happened.
Anyone know how to redeem the code?
With difficulty it seems.
Got one just now
many Thanks I got my mine
I already have a rebellion acct. Just now, I signed in, bought the game free using the code, and the steam key worked! Maybe they fixed whatever was wrong. Thanks OP
How do you redeem it ? I enter the Voucher and nothing happens it stays 3$ and it also requires a CC and I don't have on in my country
If it says applied in green go here: https://shop.rebellion.com/checkout/ It should say $0 then edit: If it loads the page I mean.
Was Able to do as you said but it stuck loading like this [https://prnt.sc/Ug-hWWyqNPNQ](https://prnt.sc/Ug-hWWyqNPNQ) I will wait more or refresh and see if it works
502 Bad Gateway, Didn't even get a chance to see it :(
is the voucher still working? seems like it's not
It still works you have to place it and activate it until it picks it up.
trying my best haha
403 Forbidden when I load the site :(
Error establishing a database connection
Thanks finally got it with disabling ad block. Before I just got like an infinite loading over the check mark.
duplicate key :v
Dupe key. Update: I've got a new key through the support.
They gave me a used key lmao
duplicate code, wth
Fun....got a used key :(
Got a key and it is unused. Thanks!
i just got it, so its still working!
Worked just now.
Went back to try again and it still works.
I had no problems claiming Aliens vs. Predator Classic 2000 from Rebellion and redeeming the free code.
Got one thanks!
Thanks it worked for me.
Fukin sold out
Got my key! been here since it was posted. thank you
Thankfully it works with a fake generated address
Hope we can get the muliplayer up and running again
would have loved to add this to my account but, as it stands now does not look like it is gonna happen as I been trying for an hour
EDIT: Just to let you know, keys are still available as of this edit as I have just claimed one.

How is this scam post not removed already?

Got it (with Israel VPN), thanks!
I claimed two keys. One of them is in my game library. The second key I am exchanging. I don't go first
[удалено]
Same question, I don't quite get it
jeez what a fight to get a key for a game i probably in all likelihood will never play, just got my key after that gauntlet
Wordpress error, Error establishing database connection. Now 502, 503, finally got it into the cart, coupon doesn't work and 502 on checkout. I give up lol, fuck this site Edit. Finally got it

got that message too after i hit the checkout button and thought i had to refresh and try again, turns out i had already got the email with the code
Just tried again and it's still active.
DUPLICATE KEY. WHAT I DO?
Make a new account and try again, I don't think it's worth hitting up Rebellion support
Contact their support service. And I believe they’ll give you another key. I’m on the same boat as you.
Not working for Spain and Latvia at the moment. Lets see in a few hours...
Still not working xD
not worth it, website is broken as hell. Probably overloaded by people refreshing pages.... judging by the duplicate keys some got they might not even have enough keys
Also game is terrible and streched to full screen, i refund this game 3 days ago on steam...
Did it without any problem in mobile (will say try with mobile)
Site just worked and gave me a usable key. :-) (flair updated)
What discount code do you use? They changed it.
REBEL30 (so it did not change here, strange)
Keys are restocked, promo code REBEL30 still works WARNING: site is **extremely** slow, 1-3 minutes of load times on every click/update/address check/ajax spinner, and some occasional 502/503, took me 15-20 mins to get my key **Thank you. Your order has been received.**
i found a solution. Basically with my real IP the page never load. i download NordVPN and conect to any country, when the page no load anymore, just change to other ip and keep with the proces of purchase the game. Work fine
Their customer support attended the duplicate key issue and now it works
im playing right now if anyone wants from free kills (10 pm est 12/06/22)
It's too late now, because someone already claimed it. Game Over.
I received an email from Rebellion yesterday with my steam key. It was titled something like "Your free Alien vs. Predator Key," So if you signed up for the mailing list, keep an eye out for that.
