Cheeky lil' GAME scam v2

Update: It appears that it is not the order you add items to your basket that matters, but the item number, IE "339837" for Modern Warfare 2, that matters. The item with the smaller number will receive the £5 off. If MW2 is no good, just look around the site for an item expensive enough that has a bigger number than whatever you are after.

GAME.co.uk have got another £5 off off £50 voucher, this time it is "lastminute09".

Like last time, this can be exploited for nefariousness means.

First, go to GAME.co.uk and pick something that you want to buy, then add it to your basket. It is important you add the item you want first.

Then add a game preorder that pushes the total to above £50 (Modern Warfare 2 will work).

Then go you your basket, and apply the coupon "lastminute09", and you should get £5 off the first item in your basket.

Complete the order.

Then go to your order history, and remove the preorder. You should then have the original item with £5 off, without having to spend a £50 total.
