No, not at all, the only downside is the Apple redeem code only works for U.S iTunes account, and Google does not provide free code like Apple. Apple allows only 50 codes per version so we can't really commit to all forum owners (there are over 30 forums added to Tapatalk daily...)
What I can do is to publish whole bunch of free codes here in first come first serve basis? But probably it will violidate the vb.org rule of technical only discussion.
Nah, if you guys only have a limited amount then posting here on a 'first come' basis is probably a very bad idea... it was just a thought.
