I recently got a free Watchdogs 2 Nvidia key with my graphics card purchase (GTX1070), the kind you redeem online e.g. at https://redeem.geforce.com and ultimately gets redeemed into uplay.
Great to get a free game but the thing is, I think I am highly likely to receive this game as a Christmas gift, as I have been mentioning quite a lot about how I was excited to play it. Hence I am reluctant to redeem the one with the card in case I end up getting a duplicate as a gift as they can be a hassle to return, especially if you don't have the receipt.
On the other hand, if I don't receive it for Christmas I would be looking to use the Nvidia code but if I discover there is a problem with it by then the retailer might not be interested in helping out so late after my purchase. Therefore, I was wondering if there is anyway I can test the Nvidia/Geforce key is ok without actually using the code?
