Not working for me, just getting error messages when trying to redeem ...

Same Edit : found a workaround by looking up the issue. Go to this page https://www.gog.com/cart/add/1486951595

It should add the Freedom to Buy Games as a free item in your shopping basket, which you can then add to your account

Worked for me, thanks. I will jerk off in your honour

this worked. was already logged in. loaded that link in a different tab, went back to the other and refreshed. saw the cart had something, loaded it and was able to check out.

If any one of the games are banned in your country, you will get an error.

This page lists what's banned where: https://support.gog.com/hc/articles/29306002386845

Two of the games were banned in my country, so a quick VPN to the Netherlands and the "purchase" went through.

I did log a support ticket with GOG and they referred me to the KB article above.
