"Grab either a bag of Doritos OR Rockstar Energy Drink and you can unlock one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the Karthwolf Charger mount, and more."

I was just about to ask if this was an Xbox exclusive deal or if there is a way to use the code on either PC (likely) or Playstation. It seems very Xbox centric to me.

seecodenotgames · October 2022

Reading the T&Cs at the bottom is says no purchase necessary, but if you don't have a code from a pack then you have to write your address to them by post. Also is only for the US and only gives the one month to new customers.

I think I'll pass. I already have that mount anyway.

CassandraGemini · October 2022

I'd be interested to know whether we'll be able to buy the wolf from the Crown Store, if we happen to be on Playstation or PC (because I agree, it seems like the event is only for Xbox users) or not eligible for the whole thing at all because it just doesn't happen where we live? I can't see him in the Crown Store showcase for October at least.

@seecodenotgames Where did you get the mount from, if I may ask? Is it a Crown Crate item?

seecodenotgames · October 2022

I don't remember but I've had it at least a couple of years.

Edit: Apparently it's been available in the crownstore a couple of times and then added to crates.

TybaltKaine · October 2022

UESP tells me it was available in the crown store until 2017. It was in the Horns of The Reach Collectors Bundle and is now a legendary reward in Dragonscale Crown Crates.

CassandraGemini · October 2022

Haha, I probably should've tried googling it before asking

Still, thanks to both of you!

ZOS_Kevin · October 2022

Hi all, just wanted to highlight that the code for the mount can be redeemed on any platform. You just have to put the code in either through your account on the website or in the crown store.

TybaltKaine · October 2022

Thanks for the response. I appreciate it.

CassandraGemini · October 2022

It's still just applicable in the US from what I can tell, but I appreciate the response as well

ZOS_Kevin · October 2022

@CassandraGemini So while the promotion is in the US, the codes still work outside of the US. So in theory, if you were able to get ahold of a code, you should be able to redeem it. But you didn't hear that from me...

Outside of that, if there are additional questions related to the promotion guidelines, the support page here should help.

Xandreia_ · October 2022

im not gonna lie, a "reward" that has been in the game for 5 years isnt really an incentive to buy products that promotes a game in a good light, in my opinion its a bad marketing move to not have a new mount or other cosmetics

Hmm... maybe I'll ask an American friend whether he likes energy drinks or doritos by any chance, then

Thank you so much for the info (that I didn't actually hear from you, of course)!

TheDarkRuler · October 2022

If there is any american guy who already has the mount and a likes Dorito/Rockstar please DM me a code.
I really would like to have it but in EU we cannot participate.

Vonkarolinas · October 2022

Here's a fun surprise. "Front of bag code is invalid"......so now what?

CyberDiva · October 2022

People are stealing codes. It has been a problem for Doritos since at least 2017 where *** will go steal codes and redeem a bunch of them, and these jerks are actually proud of themselves for doing it. I just had a talk with Frito Lays customer service about this. Their response is to email fritolay@promosupport.com with your issue. I hope this helps. I am about to go email them.

Update: Got a response from them.

"Hi <name>

Thank you for contacting PromoSupport. We are working to resolve your issue and you can expect a response within the next 2-3 business days. Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Thanks,
PromoSupport"

I will keep ya'll updated.

TybaltKaine · October 2022

Yeah, unfortunately there isn't really a way to verify if the code is coming from a bag that has been purchased, so people just scan a bunch in the stores and leave. It's why the codes should be inside the product and not on the label in the front or tied to the UPC.

Hamfast · October 2022

I purchased 3 bags of Doritos (we have 3 accounts between my wife and I) all the codes are the same... oh, and invalid as well. Now my wife is miffed at me for spending that much (had to buy the party size bags)

Help me Mr. Wizard...

<edit>
I went to a different Wal-Mart and looked, only "Eligible" Doritos bags were the Cool Ranch flavor, all the bag codes were the same but different than the Nacho Cheese flavor I bought.

Dojohoda · October 2022

If I buy a big bag of doritos, I'll use some of it to make Taco Salad and the rest can be served with cheese burgers or sandwiches.

Taco Salad Recipe(Can use nacho cheese flavor as it is more commonly available)

Ingredients
1 large firm head of iceberg lettuce, washed, drained, and broken into pieces
1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
1 cup green onions, cleaned and chopped (you can use as little as 1/2 cup, depending on what you like)
1 15 oz. can chili beans, drained, but not rinsed (these are commercially canned pinto beans with chili flavorings added)
6 oz. Taco flavored Doritos chips, broken into smaller pieces (Or use the flavor that you like best. If you can find it, Taco flavored is best.)
8 oz. bottle Catalina dressing (use as much of this as needed.)
Directions
Toss ingredients just before serving. This serves 4-6 people

nathamarath · October 2022

Meh.

Vargr · October 2022

@CyberDiva thanks for the tip I just sent them an email my self. fingers cross this gets resolved i would really like that wolf mount

boi_anachronism_ · October 2022

Yeah it's bunk. I bought em and everything is invalid. Waste of money.

Vargr · October 2022

Has anyone successfully redeemed this? Seems like anyone who actually tried was met with an invalid code.

"Grab either a bag of Doritos OR Rockstar Energy Drink and you can unlock one month of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, the Karthwolf Charger mount, and more."

Does the package have to say it’s linked with the game or can I purchase a bulk pack of rockstar and scan the code that way?

TybaltKaine · October 2022

For the honest folks here, who have had the unfortunate occurrence of purchasing a bag with an invalid code, there is a workaround. You can do the following:

To obtain a Combined Code without making a purchase send a 3"x5" card or piece of paper with your full name, address, city, state, zip code, date of birth and email address to be received by 12/23/22 to: Standard Group, Attn: Doritos Xbox Instant Win Game Request, 500 East Oregon Road, Lititz, PA 17543

Limit one Combined Code per day/person/email address

This is how you can get a code directly from Frito Lay. The code will be emailed to you and should be redeemed either here under your account information on the website (Not your Forum account) or in game via the Crown Store Redeem Code function.

I hope this saves people time and spares them of the frustration of spending money to get a code that someone already redeemed or stole via internet shenanigans or general dishonesty.

Ringing_Nirnroot · October 2022

I only got the free Xbox ultimate subscription but not the mount??

Update: code was delayed but I got my wolf 😊

You need to go back to the website and you will see an other button. That says redeem in game content... You can pick from the list.. They will email you the code.

Just to let everyone know. I was getting invalid front of bag code.. But I tried the code for the two bags I had.. And they both work this time.. Just give the codes and other try is all I can say now.

CyberDiva · October 2022

Update:

They never responded to my email. However, I went back and tried my code again. Suddenly it is working. Try your codes, ya'll. In theory they should all be working, now.

ZOS_Kevin · October 2022

Thanks for the update, @CyberDiva. If others could test your codes and see if they work now, that would be helpful for our testing. We are trying to verify if the code issue has been resolved, so any feedback would be helpful. Thanks so much.

These promotions are never "Brought to you by Lettuce!" or "Almonds!" it's always something that leaves my paws stained orange and a bloated feeling in the lower decks. Very well, challenge accepted corporate world. This one will purchase one bag and feed the raccoons.

fizl101 · October 2022

If there are any US friends out there who have a spare code, I would love to make use of it!
