Sideshow Spooktacular 2020 (In lieu of... wait, this is actually Spooktacular!)

I'm fine with an additional chance at codes. If it was instead of, ok that would suck, but more codes, why not?

Hey all! Here's your guide to the new email reward code drops for Spooktacular, just in case anyone has questions.
1. These new email reward code drops are IN ADDITION to regular random code drops that we always do, not instead of them. Codes will still drop all over the place at any time!
2. At random times, at any point during Spooktacular, a random number of people will be selected to receive a random number of reward points.
3. It could be 2,000 people, it could be 100 people, it could be 5 people... it's random!
4. The code value might be $1, maybe $10, maybe $100... you never know!
5. Each person selected for a code drop will get a unique code that can only be redeemed by one person. If you get a code and you share it, and someone else uses it before you... you won't get that code!
6. You could get selected for a code every time or never. It's completely random. If you never get picked, blame technology.
7. Once a code goes out by email, you do have a limited time to claim it, but that time is a few hours from the time it went out.
8. Sometimes it won't be a reward code. Sometimes it will be an exclusive giveaway opportunity. You'll get a link to click on to go register for that giveaway. Only people who open their email, click on the link and register will be entered to win.
9. When a code or giveaway opportunity goes out by email, we'll drop social posts letting people know something was emailed out to random people so go check your inbox to see if it's you!
Basically, we've just opened up another platform for Spooktacular rewards and giveaways! This one is perfect for people who can't stay glued to our social channels 24/7 but still want a chance to play along. There are still time limits, but they are hours long instead of minutes long. If you get a code, that's yours and yours alone to redeem in time! No one will swoop in and grab it away, and you don't have to drop everything as soon as it happens.

You have to be registered for Spook for this.

Hmmm $100 code interesting, wonder how likely people are going to be to get that one. Hopefully the amount of codes makes up for NYCC code bust.

I wonder if the select people who get emailed codes will still have the short time window to enter them? Or will they be allotted extra time because the intent of the emails is to help some people out who are at work/sleeping/busy?

I will be at my computer for work during most of the event, but the weekend will be tough. I will be in some areas with little to no cell service

Good luck all - for both codes AND statues.

They said the codes are unique to the people who receive them and they will have a few hours to enter them this time rather than a few minutes.

Anyone know what time this starts today?

A few hours seems decent.
