Happy Holidays! Enjoy a 30-Day Free Trial of Giant Bomb Premium!

A gift from us...to you.

No Caption Provided

It's that time of year again! The mistletoe bedecks yon fair hearth, the NFC East looks like that guy who got splashed with toxic waste in RoboCop, the mulled wine vs. spiked eggnog debate rages into its fifth century; it's truly a #blessed season. We here at Giant Bomb are feelin' pretty good about 2019 and looking forward to 2020. New consoles! A huge first quarter for games! Christmas presents!

To help you celebrate alongside us, we are offering 30 free days of Premium to people who aren't currently a subscriber! Enjoy browsing through the last year's worth of our Premium archives, or all of the archives going back to 2010! It's the best value in sports entertainment and it can be yours - free of charge - for 30 days!

How Do I Sign Up For This Wonderful Deal?

If you don't currently have an account on the site, here's what you do!

  1. Go to www.giantbomb.com/login-signup
  2. Sign up for a new account with an Account Type of Basic - Free
  3. Head on over to www.giantbomb.com/billing and select “Gift Card” as your Payment Type.
  4. Enter GOTY19 into "Gift Card Number" field, throw in your payment details, and submit!

If you DO already have an account on the site AND are not a current subscriber, just go to step three and proceed from there.

Why Do You Need My Payment Stuff? I Thought This Wonderful Deal Was Free!

Our current payment processor requires payment details before a trial starts! You can cancel anytime before the thirty days are up and you will not be charged.

How Long Will This Wonderful Deal Last?

You have until 12/31 to take advantage of this wonderful deal! The trial will last for 30 days from the time you redeem the code.

I'm already a paid up subscriber. Can I do this and get an extra 30 days on top of my current subscription? :)

Hey I copy/pasted the wrong code. Try GOTY2019 and let me know if that doesn't work!

That code doesn't seem to be working for me either. Now it says "The code you entered isn't valid. Double-check and try again. If this is actually our fault, send an email to support@giantbomb.com and we'll investigate."

Sorry all, I'm being told it's GOTY19. My bad, rough morning.

I decided to jump on this. I was a sub for many years but haven't been since the CBS buyout. I would maybe if the price was lower, I was ok with it, when GB was independent.

Gotta get the new blood somehow, I get it. Still I agree, it's too bad it's not for everyone.

This is not true. I'm not a new member, previously had premium but canceled and the GOTY19 code worked for me.

The last time I tried this I got billed for the month. This time I can only select monthly or stay yearly. Every time it's something different and not what the instructions say. Not worth the hassle.

Former premium member. This got me a month of premium, thanks GB!

Selected monthly, Gift Card as payment, entered the code (I had to re-add Paypal after but I was not charged).

(Remember to cancel your sub if you don't want to be automatically charged in a month)

Hi guys.

The first time I tried GOTY2019 it worked but then tried to charge me (an empty account) and then when I tried again, it just said 'The code you entered isn't valid. Double-check and try again. If this is actually our fault, send an email to support@giantbomb.com and we'll investigate.'

Cheers!

Thanks, wish I could afford to keep being a subscriber as I love what you folks do. But you know how difficult things can be to afford the things you love.
