    They are codes that Devs can generate (but limited to 50 per update) They are used to download the game without paying money and such...

    Right. Behind. You.
    You get a promo code, which is a bunch of letters and numbers in a row, and then log on to iTunes. From there, you go to "Redeem" and then type in the code. Then you magically get a discount or something.

    ...A discount? No, you simply get the app itself.

    They can also be exchanged for cash or applications, which in turn can be exchanged for entertainment.
