Okay, /v/, so I decided to cheat EA's little greedy system a bit.

I read that if you complain about a problem enough with EA's customer support they'll give you a digital download for free (since they don't cost them anything). So I decided to think of a problem that I can use:

I'm going to use my friend's CD key that he got from a physical copy of BF3, and say that when I tried to register it, it didn't go through. And no matter what they say or do, that their solutions did not work.

I think this has a fairly good chance of working, judging from simply how incompetent EA's customer support is.

I'll post the chat logs when I finally get through.
