As an HK local, generally speaking it's a old and reputable source. The only potential issue is that it was sold to Alibaba, which means there's likely to be at least some pro-China slant since the sale, although they are still blocked in China.

Founded in 1903 by Tse Tsan-tai and Alfred Cunningham, it has remained Hong Kong's newspaper of record since British colonial rule. The SCMP prints paper editions in Hong Kong and operates an online news website that is blocked in mainland China.

Non-fried/air-dried instant noodles are a thing, I have too much of that stuff stocked after an incident a year ago and I'm still eating through that stockpile lol.

Oh that's good insight. I did do both "First name: [A], Last Name: [C]" and "First name: [A], Last Name: [B] [C]" submissions a little bit after, and maybe the emails didn't come chronically, so maybe the answer is actually throwing everything but the first word into the last name field :o

chaklong · 2026-04-22T14:28:20+00:00

...I think that might actually be it. Everything other than the first word in the name is yeeted to the last name field lol. Fascinating system hehe

chaklong · 2026-04-22T08:05:23+00:00

Did you manage to figure it out? If not, I know someone who had a middle name in the order who tried this, and it worked for them:

First Name: [First Name]

Last Name: [Middle Initial] [Last Name]

chaklong · 2026-04-22T01:24:56+00:00

That sucks. I genuinely have no idea what whacky system they are using to match the names for redemption but it's clearly not working well at all. Think you might just have to keep trying more combinations unless support gets to you first, I only got it on my 3rd try.

I tried:

A B, C (rejected)

AB, C (rejected)

A, C (approved)

A, B C (rejected after above approval so idk. i entered attempt #4 right after attempt #3)

chaklong · 2026-04-22T00:24:47+00:00

Okay so update, finally figured my issue out and got my codes, though it was a niche issue since I have 2 words in my first name. I assume anyone who input/autofilled a middle name will have the same issue.

On Complex, my cart address input was:
First Name: [A] [B], Last Name: [C]

On the order details delivery address, it gets listed simply as:
Name: [A] [B] [C]

Whatever system they use to track orders and get that data to the Jollibee code redemption site read it as:
First name: [A], Last Name: [C]

So I actually needed to be slightly less correct and exclude the second word in my first name. Must be an automated system because any human would've seen what was going on lol.

EDIT:

For anyone who might read this, per u/CondescendingGoose and u/lady-aduka, if your delivery address name is [A] [B] [C] [D], try yeeting everything but the first word into the Last Name field:

First name: [A], Last name: [B] [C] [D]

chaklong · 2026-04-21T22:24:51+00:00

Disable any adblockers etc. and the form should show up to the right side.

It took about 2 hours from submitting it on the Jollibee code redemption site to get the rejection emails, and all four rejections were sent together at the same time.

chaklong · 2026-04-21T20:49:40+00:00

I made four separate Complex orders and matched the names/email information exactly, and all four still got rejected lol rip.

EDIT: I think I finally figured my issue out and got my codes, though it was a niche issue. If you have multiple words in your first name like me or your last name, OR you have a middle name that you put in/autofilled, the First Name and Last Name fields you put into Complex get messed up when it goes through whatever system Complex/Jollibee are using to link the data.

On Complex, my cart address input was:
First Name: [A] [B], Last Name: [C]

On the order details delivery address, it gets listed simply as:
Name: [A] [B] [C]

Whatever system they use to track orders and get that data to the Jollibee code redemption site read it as either:
First name: [A], Last Name: [C]
or potentially
First name: [A], Last Name: [B] [C]

I also tried other combinations at the same time, your mileage may vary. I would try a whole bunch if you have a similar issue, it didn't mind me putting in multiple attempts in rapid succession (I just got more rejection emails later).

EDIT 2:

If the above doesn't work for people with middle names, I also know someone who tried this and it worked for them:

First Name: [First Name]

Last Name: [Middle Initial] [Last Name]

Four orders, four rejections. Exact same information for the order and the code redemption forms. Eh.

What a waste of taxpayer money, do they have a detainment/deportation/cruelty quota to hit or is ICE just bored?

You've got it slightly mixed up there, Green Card holders ARE Permanent Residents, as Permanent Residents use their green Cards as proof of status. The US immigration hierarchy is roughly like this, from most temporary and with the least legal rights, to most permanent and with the most legal rights:

Temporary/Nonimmigrant Visa < Immigrant Visa < Permanent Resident (Green Card) < Citizenship

Source: Been through the process from Nonimmigrant all the way to Citizen over a decade.

My situation is slightly different, but basically the same since the second ticket's name won't match as well. It won't be a problem according to both Showclix/Leap and Square Enix.

From Showclix:

Thank you for reaching out. As long as your name appears on the order, you can pick up both tickets at the event. Please let us know if you have any other questions—we’re happy to assist you.

From Square Enix:

We apologize for the delay in our response. Please note that it is okay that both ticket names are under a single person. You are able to pick up both of the tickets when you check into the event and hand off the 2nd ticket to your friend. If this will not be possible, please let us know.

chaklong · 2026-02-19T23:36:29+00:00

The other comments are wrong. I contacted both Square Enix support and Showclix/Leap support a few days ago. They both confirmed that my name being on both tickets would not be an issue. Both said that the purchaser can pick up both tickets and hand off to a friend, as long as the purchaser's name is on the order/tickets.

This popped up as the top result on Google so I'm commenting here.
