Whenever we redeem or give away promo codes, it's always the same, slow process: launch iTunes, go to the iTunes Store page, click redeem, enter the code, and click redeem again. Now, we've gotten a tip on how to make this process go much faster.
The blog Tap Tap Tap suggests a super-secret URL that, if you plug in your promo code, will automatically redeem your game. Just copy-paste the following into your browser, replacing the last part with the promo code itself.

Want to help us try it out? We've got a ton of codes from Humble Gaming: Seven for Abductor, eight for Anna Montana, and ten for Return of Pied Piper. Just follow our Twitter feed, tweet @slidetoplay and which game you want, and the first followers who respond will get a code. Redeem it with the above steps and let us know if you like this method for redeeming your code better!
These codes must get redeemed today, because they won't work after updates are issued soon. And, this is a way for us to make up for not having a Tuesday Twitter Giveaway this week. See you on the Twitter, folks!

This is actually pretty nice. The only thing I'm wondering is will it always prompt you for which application to use to open the link, or is it only doing that because I'm having to copy and paste it into my address bar instead of just clicking a link?
Thanks for the code! This way to redeem promo codes is indeed much faster. Maybe next time you can already make a link of it? I'm going to enjoy Anna Montane! (and offcourse Eliminate :P)
This works well. I was doing it on my iPhone though, and that was a little tricky as you can only copy and paste one thing at a time. Anyways, I added a bookmark in Firefox on my Mac. Thanks for the game fellas.
First off, thanks for the code guys! Now for some reason I can't seem to get the URL to work. I get the iTunes Store page saying it's connecting. It loads for a bit then stops loading and nothing happens. I've tried it with iTunes closed, tried it with it open, tried it on my ipod still nothing... I thought it might have been that the surver was busy, but after coming back to it a few hours later it still doesn't work. Maybe I'm down on my luck today haha. Anyway if this is working for other people, awesome! But i think I'll use the "slow" way from now on ;)
