I am interested in Yakuza 0 in the Humble Monthly, and I found this Reddit page (https://www.reddit.com/r/GameDealsMeta/comments/6lox9u/you_can_use_your_own_humble_bundle_referral_link/) saying I can use my own referral link and sub to a monthly bundle so I get the wallet credit. Does it still work, is it legal, and is HB cool about it?

Don't do it. They will suspend you. Why would you think they will be cool about it?

"Sure, buddy, you go right ahead and cheat our system. We actually love handing out wallet credit for no reason and losing potential customers! Also, could you do us a favor and go spread the word that we are A-OK with people using their own referral link? Thanks!"

I'm not making any alt accounts though. I'm just copying my own referral from my HB acc I registered to grab their giveaways with, and then pasting it in the URL bar to go to the monthly page, then subscribing for a month there. AFAIK my own referral does take me to the monthly page no problem while I am still in my own account, and the URL shows the same referral link as the one I copied (from myself) so I am guessing it may work

Though I don't know if I will actually get the wallet credit, or if there is some really fine print stating I cannot do this (couldn't find it in the referral support page, didn't check T&C), so I will just probably ask a friend for a referral

Because I just used my referral while logged in to the same acc (no alt involved) and it didn't show any error so I just assumed it was working

I referred my fiancee, got credit, had no problem, neither of us are banned, she registered using same IP,heck even same browser without cookies cleared ;p. But she used her own CC, so it's quite easy for them to recognize a separate person I guess by just looking on payment method details ;)

Guys I was asking about me using the referral I got from the same acc, no alt involved..

Now that I think of it, seems a little dumb to ask, but then it didn't show me any error when I entered my own referral so
