Do the stealth codes expire?

[Possum-Eater]

Hey I was wondering if the stealth codes for like the mclaren and the SLS ever expire?

 

[Possum-Eater]

some people said they expire in december. (Gamestop Stealth Codes)

Looking into buying one off somebody? I honestly don't have an answer for you as I used my GameStop code the day after I got the game.

yh, I am hoping to trade someone a couple of matte paints for one. I just heard that they expired in december. Can you trade the actual car? Or do you just have to send the code?

you have to send the code. I tried letting one of my friends borrow the mclaren for a race and it came up saying its not trade-able

Yeah, that is what I thought....does anyone know if they expire?

I used the Gamestop code last week & got the Stealth McLaren and a NASCAR. So it still works.

Mine (from Best Buy) expired 12/31.

I did not even know they could expire. Does your car disappear then??

I still have my stealth+chrome cars from the SE, can't imagine they will ever go away since they are advertised as part of what you get.

The gamestop codes expire this month, not sure of the day though. The amazon code I had was good until 2013. Not sure of the bestbuy code.

Was that through December 31, 2010 or on Saturday January 1, 2011? The code was supposed to be valid through December to receive your cars (hopefully longer for those who forgot to use them).
I never heard anything about the cars no longer working after a period of time....that sounds silly or evil depending on your point of view to get people to buy the SE/CE! haha

What are stealth codes and how does/did one get them? Seems since I bought my game in the combo pack (PS3+GT5) on 12/31/10 I've missed out on a lot of really cool free stuff.

You got the codes from the given retailer where you pre-ordered the game before it was released.

My GameStop receipt says mine expired on 1/3/11.
I used it the day I got the game, and I just checked and the car still works fine.
So the expiration only means that the code itself was only usable up until that date.
