I bought over $30 worth of games during the sale and was told I would get a code for this game if I spent over $10. It's been 4 days and I have yet to receive the code. Anyone else still waiting?

Yep, there is about 50 posts on this each day. You should get a code via email, so check all you email folders like spam and such like. If you still haven't got it contact support who will help tomorrow.
I got this reply from support today:
Due to high demand, your free copy might take a while to arrive. Please be patient.
Apparently me having waited 8 days for the copy wasn't long enough for it to arrive yet... Well, let's see if a 9th day of waiting makes any difference.
I usually find the emails from GOG with codes for free games in my junk folder. I don't know why, all the other emails from GOG are in my inbox.
Maybe the freebies you're getting are junk? ;)
I've already checked my email in both inbox and junk mail and it was in neither. What has me a curious is the fact that they say the keys will expire on 06/27/2017 and must be redeemed before that time.
I purchased over the 10 buck minimum and I got a separate email, right after I got the receipt email, with the code. This was on June 17th.

27/06/2017 fixed for you :P

I find it strange the way round that Americans type the date.

We are odd that way. We have our own way of doing things.

I also join the illustrious round of people who didn't get a code. I spent more than 10€ on games during the Summer Sale, but no code arrived so far. And more than 10€ should also be more than 10$. Or was it necessary to pay in US$ to get this freebie?

Whatever. I already have that expansion so I'm not annoyed at not getting the code. I just would have given it away anyhow. But it's another example of GOG not being slow (or not being able) to keep up to their own promises. If one makes a promo, one should also take care that it works...

As far as i know, $10 means $10 in ur local currency (which is watever is set in GOG as ur 'local' currency). I got my code the moment i bought so i'm not sure y it takes more time 4 some ppl. Anyway, if u still hvn't get a code aft a week it's advisable u drop Support a ticket.

do you have to spend $10 in a single purchase, or having separate purchases over $10 is still fine?

Separate purchases should work just fine.

They didn't for me. My >10€ were distributed over several small purchases. Perhaps that's the reason. But it's a time limited code anyhow (7 more days, I think), which now many people are giving away. So finding a taker for it would probably not be too easy anyhow and the code would expire. So no big loss there.
If you are desperate for a code, just hop on over to the "Summer Sale clearinghouse 2017" thread, and take/request from many of the givers there (including myself). In fact, pick my post so that I can actually offload it. :D
