And on the download page, where you go when you click "download now", there is another free day. Bottom left button.
But thank you anyway
It appears that my issue is that I reinstall after every patch

Apparently it`s only when you completely re-DL everything incl the launcher If Im`understanding Niko right. Reinstalling the game in itself does nothing, accessing the "I want the launcher" part of the site appears to be the trigger.

To be quite honest. The Valentines free day and the Penny arcade free day were posted very openly on these forums... and I think the Valentines free day from PGI was even advertized in the launcher. If you missed them, then it was not the fault of the people who were offering the days.
Nor did I mean to imply that, sorry if I came off as one of the "whine first, think later" dillholes that have been consistently dragging the forums down since the start of OB
*Edit* OK, tried it out , and... (Co,mplete, consice instructiuons to follow)
You have to
actually CLICK "Download" (not just open the DL page as implied by the OP) but you
do not have to accept the DL itself. At which time the 3 buttons initially referenced appear. Clicking on "Redeem now" (said bottom left button) automatically credits the day to your account and adds an "activate" button to the launcher.
Complete instructions are always helpful and avoid confusion, see also Japanese model kits vs. US made ones. Cheers and thanks fot the hint that I can get a free day this way.
