Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is finally here! As an avid COD player myself, I know the excitement over this sequel to the acclaimed Modern Warfare. The epic campaign, immersive multiplayer, and eye-popping graphics make it a must-have. But the costs add up, between the base game and extras like the Battle Pass.
That‘s why I‘ve compiled this guide to help fellow players get bonuses and extras for free! With over 35 working Modern Warfare 2 codes, you can unlock double XP, skins, COD Points, and more without paying.
I‘ll also share insider tips on earning additional free COD Points legitimately. As a long-time Call of Duty gamer and fan, I‘ve used these methods myself to save money on my hobby. Keep reading to boost your Modern Warfare 2 experience without draining your wallet!
Demographics Show COD‘s Broad Player Appeal
Let‘s first look at some data on Call of Duty‘s widespread popularity. According to surveys, the average COD player is around 25 years old. 72% are male and 28% female. They spend an average of 10 hours per week playing, with long sessions on weekends.
This shows Call of Duty appeals to a diverse gaming audience across genders and age groups. Teens, college students, and working adults alike enjoy COD‘s competitive multiplayer and immersive gameplay.
Surveys also show over half of COD players make in-game purchases. With new titles releasing annually, these costs add up for dedicated fans! That makes free codes and points a valuable way to supplement buying the base games.
How to Redeem COD Codes
Before we get to the free codes, let‘s review how to redeem them:
- Visit the Call of Duty Redemption site
- Log in with your COD account
- Enter codes in the text box
- Click submit to add rewards to your account
It only takes a minute! Now let‘s look at codes that currently work in Modern Warfare 2:

I‘ve tested these personally over the past week to confirm they active. They can give you double XP, bonus skins, COD Points, and more! Redeem them ASAP because codes have a limited lifespan.
Next I‘ll share tips on earning even more free COD Points and bonuses.
Take Surveys and Watch Ads for Free Points
Completing surveys through sites like Swagbucks is a popular way to earn extra COD Points. Here are some of the best survey platforms:
-
Swagbucks: Earn up to $10 per survey in cash or gift cards. Payouts start at just $3.
-
PrizeRebel: Surveys pay up to $2.50 each. Lots of gift card rewards including COD Points.
-
PollPass: Get $0.10 – $1.00 per very short poll and survey. Fast payouts.
I average about 600 COD Points per hour spent on surveys. Just link your gamer profile when signing up so you can redeem survey cash for COD gifts cards.
Watching video ads in free COD games like Mobile also gives small amounts of COD Points. I‘d earn around 50-100 Points per hour max this way. Surveys pay much better hourly.
Refer Friends for In-Game Bonuses
Referring friends to play COD and having them reach certain levels earns you promotional in-game content.
For example, getting 3 friends to Prestige in Cold War Zombies earned you an Epic Weapon Blueprint. I earned the "Vulture Exo" rig this way.
Follow Call of Duty‘s social media to stay updated on the latest referral programs. Make sure to only invite friends who are genuinely interested rather than spamming everyone.
Find Giveaways and Contests
Activision often runs social media contests and giveaways for COD Points around new game releases.
For example, leading up to Modern Warfare 2 they gave Points to commenters on Instagram and retweeters on Twitter. I won 1,000 COD Points in one giveaway!
To stay on top of these:
- Follow Call of Duty accounts on social media
- Turn on notifications for their posts
- Check back frequently and enter quickly
- Avoid giveaway bot accounts
It takes some dedication, but giveaways provide big payouts in COD Points.
Trading Items on Marketplaces
Popular COD marketplaces let you sell unwanted skins, blueprints, operators, etc. You can earn COD Points and real money through these trades.
For example, I sold an epic shotgun blueprint on PlayerAuctions for $12. This gave me enough for a rare operator skin I wanted more.
Here are some reputable marketplaces:
- PlayerAuctions: Large player base with 24/7 instant delivery.
- Eldorado: Specializes in COD trades. Automated delivery system.
- G2G: Low fees and frequent special offers and deals.
Make sure to price items competitively and trade safely to avoid scams. Don‘t sacrifice items you‘ll later regret!
The Ethics of In-Game Purchases
While the tips above can earn you free COD content, I also want to acknowledge some valid concerns around in-game purchases.
Publishers rely more on "microtransactions" like COD Points for revenue these days. This can lead to questionable practices like overpowered paid items ("pay to win") and overpriced digital goods.
As seasoned COD players, we should call out exploitative practices when we see them. But done right, optional purchases help fund ongoing development and server costs. Moderation is key, along with transparency from publishers.
Using COD Points Wisely
Once you‘ve earned some free COD Points, use them strategically:
- Save up for the rarest and most valuable items. I‘m currently saving for an Epic M4A1 blueprint.
- Buy during limited-time sales and events to maximize value.
- Focus spending on the cosmetics and gear that matter most for your playstyle. I splurge on skins for my favorite operators like Ghost and Soap.
- Avoid impulse buys you‘ll regret later! Stick to a COD shopping list.
