There is something wrong with the registration or something. I have a ton of friends on my list and when I look at the recent activity, there are people I know have had the games registered for a while and it's registering them again sometimes twice. They all have the registration keys next to them.

Can someone take a screenshot of it?

Like a previous poster said, last time users found a hidden link with access to free simpoints they got banned.

Better safe than sorry.

yep I was thinking that as well. It shows up in my billing history, I don't think that's relevant just mentioning.

I'm not going to claim I know the fix but I spoke to a rep who said to not spend the simpoints. (In short). I even asked if maybe there was a free simpoint promotion going on and the short answer is no.

I'm all for free stuff but spending these free simpoints is at your own risk especially if you didn't pay for them. It's very black and white to ea. If you didn't pay for those simpoints you might get in trouble. Even if it's a glitch,
you're not supposed to take advantage of it. For your own sakes.

Thank you for your wise words of caution. And thanks for checking into it. I'm glad they at least know something is going on.

I'll feel better after all of this is resolved. And I'll understand if they end up taking those points back. They were never really mine in the first place. It's just fun to joke about spending them.

You're welcome.

Although I do feel a little bit like the kid in school that reminds the teacher he didn't give them homework...

Lol that's a good comparison. I really like your honesty. Not many people would do this.

Aw, thanks! I was hoping that posting this didn't cause a whole bunch of sneaky people to get points. But I didn't know what else to do.

Hit the PrtScn button on your keyboard, copy it to Paint and then voila! You don't have to go through that much trouble if you don't want to. I don't need to see it that bad

I'm glad u posted kateness. I was trying to figure out if these were points i forgot to redeem or if it was a glich. I rarely log in except to buy stuff from the store. But lately ive been exploring the site when i saw the link for the points. If its a glich i hope they let us keep the points if not....then oh well...it was fun for a little while. lol

*edit* the link only showed up once for me.

Honestly, I didn't even know I had Paint on my computer. Blunote is probably shaking her head at me.

Once it's in paint, what do I do?

Did you copy the image into paint? What print screen does is that it takes a picture of your entire screen. If you haven't copied it to paint, you can do so by clicking ctrl + v. Then you can crop it and then save and then upload it somewhere to like photobucket or something to post on here

Ah, that's my problem. I don't have any online picture storage place. I wonder if I can upload it through the launcher? That's the only way I've figured out how to upload pics. Lemme see...


Well, it's not the greatest picture... but hopefully I'll get better. Lol, thanks for your help!

I rarely log in while I read the forums but tonight was one of those nights where I decided to log in and I had the Simpoint notification as well. I clicked accept and got 1,000 sim points for registering Generations and Outdoor Living Stuff. I don't think those came with Simpoints, did they?
Anyway, thankfully I came across this thread before I spent any of the points. I'd rather give them back than end up owing for them later, or getting banned for some glitch.
Thanks for the heads-up on this!

@KATENESS - Thanks so much! *Goes to check mypage*

Yeah, you can see why I clicked it. And there's another tab in your billing history too. It's kind of all over the place.
