I don't know the hell is going on. It happened with one of the recent, past bundles too. Whenever I generate keys.. no problem. They stay in my notepad for ages til someone needs them during trade and they redeem just fine. With gift links... it's been quite a few times now and with 2 / 3 bundles, mainly 'coz the latest bundle was redeemed right away on my account.
Please advice if you can

Well, at the very least I know it doesn't only happen to me. I been scanning my pc with bitdefender and all, been thinking of what not, but it always comes up clean. I believe it's something on their side. Or someone knows how they generate links... I don't know.

no, it really is around the 5th-6th time i've seen this now.. practically all told the same story in every meaningful detail, so you're defiantly not alone. i haven't experienced it personally, but i redeem to key form immediately and save in a doc. and yeah, i could speculate a few things as to what it could be, but i don't wanna start rumors. all i do know is if you contact support they will resolve it for ya xD - so i'd say it's likely their own internal problem.

I never reveal gift links until I need them, and so far, they have always worked fine.
Could it be a server issue?

Same. I never ever done such a mistake by revealing the link 1st and the trade being off / me getting scammed. I'm very careful at avoiding mistakes on my side.

Is there any real advice to be given? It really sounds like you just have to take it up to Humble Support. That.. or just don't make links until you're ready to trade/gift. You could just save the bundle url instead of gift links for quick access.

I checked a few gift links I have hanging around: Bionic Commando: Rearmed, Freedom Forces and Mafia II and all work. They're not very old, though, I think, and aren't claimed.

I did. Last time when that happened and that was some weeks ago.. I waited quite a long time on them. Thank god I only wanted to redeem the game for my account so it wasn't for trade or anything else. but this time it was for trade and it is used. Tried the second game fromt he same bundle (no one yet wants it) and it's too... used. Fantastic! ''You could just save the bundle url'' - I been thinking about it the last time it happened, but was like''oh it's probably never going to happen again''.. will definitely do that now.
yeah none of the games I had problems with were ever claimed. Just always 'used'

Just don't use "gift" option. Just reveal the keys and send them to the winners.

Many, many times they ONLY would go through with the trade if you had the gift link. I was trading keys at first. But too many people were afraid facepalm though I know afraid of getting scammed and everything, but still...
