Promotion items are items that were given out by EA to players who bought certain games, or participated in certain events in order to be able to be given the item. Promotion items for Battlefield Heroes were originally emailed to the players who earned the reward, but as of 10 May, 2011 (Needs confirmation), the Rewards system for Battlefield Heroes was released with the opening distribution of the BF:Play4Free Closed Beta Medals reward. This reward system is almost identical to the one released earlier in Battlefield: Play4Free and we can expect all future promotion codes to be released by this system, without emails.
