I've got a bunch of cvs cards from a coke promotion and apparently you can use them on g2a.com for some reason.  I haven't heard good things about the site so I was just wondering if any of you guys have bought stuff from them.

Bought multiple Steam keys from them. Never had issues.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

Avoid them.

The majority of what they sell is purchased using stolen credit cards. People have had their accounts banned because the code they used was linked back to a stolen card.

I had even received an email once disguised as a Paypal account issue, but it was actually from G2A. They didn't cover their tracks well at all.

Use at your own risk, but I advise you steer clear.

Eh ok.  It's just that our cvs suuuucks. I can't even find grandma's medical supplies there.  I mean I could get photos printed or something.  Sometimes they get Atari flashbacks in, but they usually charge a stupid high price for them.  If one person has had issues that's enough for me... looked pretty shady even on the surface.

I don't know how our CVS even stays open. There is never anyone in the parking lot and the prices are insane.

People like me that will pay $20 for a small bottle of Tide on the way home from a 12 hour day.

There are busy times, same as in convenience stores. The rest of the time is dead.
