I am redeeming many codes from game giveaways like on Amazon Prime on GOG and recently ran into the issue that what feels like half the time I have to solve a captcha to redeem the code.

I am not even “spamming” codes, it is like once a week two to three codes. The problem is that the type of captcha GOG uses is very very often completely unsolvable. I have to skip through many until I find one that I have the experience that it will work.

Is there any way around that? I cannot believe people would be spamming codes so much that redeeming them should require captchas.

True, I am not getting this every time. But is today a peak day?

Yes, it’s the first of the month, which is the most heavy of all days for the the giveaways. They sometimes come out on other days, but only a few.
