So I am curious. Does anyone know if buying a gift code and applying it to your own account counts toward the MC purchase part of the Loyalty program?

I want to get some MC and the C-bills/XP is alot more appealing to me right now than the Mech and crate.

Yes. Any loyalty reward in the past has been granted to the individual using the code, not the person who bought the code. In this case even though you bought the code, you will still be eligible for any loyalty program reward because you are the one using the code. This all assumes that PGI has a loyalty reward program this year and that they follow the precedents of their past programs.

That is a big IF.

As with Gifting Packages in the past.
The Account which redeems the code would qualify for the Loyalty reward.
Thus;
Buying an MC Gift Package for yourself and redeeming it on your account would qualify you for this year's MC loyalty reward.
Buying an MC Gift Package and Giving it to a friend and they redeem it on their account THEY would qualify for his years MC loyalty reward.

Yeah I think we all know that there is no guarantee they will even have a loyalty program, let alone what qualifications they might have. In fact didn't they change the the name of the program last year to get away from the word loyalty?

Still in case there is a program I want to play the odds and be as sure as I can be that I can qualify for as many things as possible.

Given the quote from Matt above yours, I'd say we've got a 2018 Loyalty event.

Given how much money it generates as people rush to qualify at the last second... We'll have one.

PGI likes money.
