I think the way 343i is using promotions right now is not great… Let’s use the Chips Ahoy coating as an example.
My friend really likes that armour coating. However, he cannot get it because it is not available where we live. As customization is important, we would like to be able to have access to this coating, but we can’t , unless we:
A) Fly to America, which isn’t allowed in my country right now, or
B) Go to a website online to buy the code, which could lead to people being scammed and losing money.
Another problem is that sometimes, with younger fans, they aren’t allowed buy the promoted goods. E.G. the Monster Energy promotion. Some people will not let their kids buy this because they do not like them drinking energy drinks. This is important as Halo seems to be headed to keep a T/12 rating, so younger people will be playing. If they want an emblem/weapon skin from this promotion, the Monster cans should not be the only way to get it. At least add an option to buy the items in-game, as then more people would have access to them.

Don’t worry. You’ll be able to buy all the armor coatings you’d like off someone online… marked up many times the cost it would normally initially be.
Have no fear. Somewhere, someone will horde codes like crazy. That person will be doing this community a favor. See that limited time code from a drink that cost like 2$? Missed it? Aw that’s ok. This person bought like 100 of them. Of course…it won’t cost you 2$ anymore though.
