I decided to risk it and purchase an Elite Pack and Veteran Pack out of sheer experimental curiosity from Gamestop.com. I have currently received a physical copy of a redeem key for the Elite Pack and an email correspondence promise that a code for the Veteran Pack is ready to download; however the Veteran Pack order does not exist in my order history feed, thus I cannot begin to claim it. Email and phone corespondence has been utter abysmal. While it is Black Friday weekend, I was on hold for 32 minutes to reach a man who said he didn't have the tools to coordinate a website issue, and put me on hold to another department. I hung up after another 15 minutes.
The real kicker is that PSN no longer accepts these actual product codes, thus indicating that I you have an unclaimed code. regardless of purchase time it is invalidated. This may be an additional issue for people who purchased multiple codes several months ago before CCP's announcement of the elimination of these packs.
This 'experiment' shines very unfavorably upon Gamestop and their service provider Trymedia.

That's why I'm sharing my experience so somebody else doesn't make the same mistake and shop from Gamestop.com

I can see Gamestop losing potential customers from this glaring mistake alone.
CCP, thank you for hotfixing the knives. But please make sure they're at their full potential in 1.7.

Has CCP notified Gamestop of the change regarding merc packs?
If so, how long ago was that notification made?
Has Gamestop responded at all?
OP, did you get your refund from Gamestop?

I stopped going to Gamestop when they wanted to sell me a "new" game that they obviously rented out to their employees and just repackaged it. I get more money for used games and pay less for them on Amazon.
I tried to put a level into Amarr Commando once, but got a server notification saying "Why?"

This reminds me of the whole debacle over Deus Ex: Human Revolution that Gamestop started.
Check this old article out.
http://money.cnn.com/2011/08/24/technology/gamestop_coupons/
As the article implies, there was a debate about legalities on whether or not a retail store can rip away part of a merchandise and still sell it as NEW.

The process is still ongoing. While PSN did not accept my codes I have sent in a support ticket to CCP to see if they would honor the codes. I would certainly understand if they did not. In that case, I'd be in an uphill battle with Trymedia to 'try' and get a refund.

Holy Smokes that's underhanded on so many levels. I take it they'd be a welcomed addition to the corporate landscape in New Eden  Ha, I've got to find some way to find some humor in this frustration that I've brought on myself.

I just brought it up because I have seen people claim to threaten to use this method in regards to the BPOs being removed, but that subject belongs on another thread.
Anyways, time will tell.

Actually, looks like the codes may still be valid, it's just that I ran into an unexpected PSN error. Please check the update to the OP.

But that might mean buying codes are still fair game.....damn.....I just can't find it in myself to support Gamestop, even if there is a possibility to grab another pack. Damn Damn.

Not sure if it's every Gamestop, but the ones on the east coast are legally regarded as pawn shops.

You could make an argument against the BPO's but additional 300,000 AUR and and 3x Active and Passive Boosters are quite nice to have. My intention anyways was to support the game and CCP, but unfortunately I had to go through Gamestop to do it.
