About the EU campaign for maid outfit and fat chocobo

Can't buy because I don't have a credit card (which is REQUIRED to activate your account). SE stop doing these EU promos and put the items on the mogstation.

oh really... damn that locks me out D: no paypal options?

It is amazing how hard it is to GIVE money to SE for an item we all want. People are angry because we can't just throw money at you guys for this one item. How absurd is this.

I tried to purchase the starter edition (because it's in the list of items...), but the website crashed out. No order was created, but money was taken, I've had to put in a ticket with ShopTo to ask them to fix or refund that order.

But I've just found out that despite the Starter Edition being listed, it isn't actually a valid item. SE representative on Reddit says it was listed by mistake and they can't change the Lodestone until Monday :S

What about everyone that buys Starter Edition between now and Monday? Or has already bought that item?

There is a paypal option. Buuuut, it only becomes available after you give them your entire credit card info. Including the 3 digit code on the back. No site ever asks for that if it's not for the purpose of actually purchasing. At least no reputable site. It's extremely shady.

Hello all!

We are now running a European (PAL) in-game item campaign together with ShopTo!

To receive a promotional code you must make a qualifying purchase from a range of Square Enix games on ShopTo.net.

The campaign runs from today, the 29th of September until Friday the 20th of October.

Campaign website: https://www.shopto.net/microsite/in-game-campaign

Please note that the in-game item codes only work with EU accounts.

Best,
Lakukisu

This campaign has been six hours, for most of which the ShopTo site was either non-responsive or down for maintenance, and now EVERY item (except FFXIV itself lol) is out of stock.

Could you please step up and send ShopTo a huge restock of items and get them to accept our orders again so that we can get these codes?

That, or choose another partner who has the stock levels to fulfil the campaign!

Hmmm, I'm really digging but I've gone through several items and they are all sold out, even the xbox steelbook version of the hitman game which I wouldn't want.
Why would the promotion begin without them having any of the promotional items in stock?

So anyway I linked my paypal account, but that didn't work, so I caved and added a credit card too and put in a back order for the FF XIV time card.
I guess because the item isn't in stock, it got added to the preorder section of my account instead of the order section, which is where the in-game item code would be.

So I don't get a code, and it says they won't have stock till mid-November, after this campaign period is over :-/

[White-Magic]

I'm hoping NZ/Aus will get an alternative promotion, the free delivery only applies to UK and spending a huge amount on shipping alone isn't ideal...
Doesn't help that the only thing applicable to PC are the physical game time cards, which are already out of stock.

Can't they have a universal Amazon promotion instead?

[Jonnara]

They have no stock of time cards but still ask me for my CC details when its in back order. If I am paying for it now when its not even in stock, than I want my code please.

PS- This is another case of the vendor underestimate the popularity of FFXIV, they should have had in stock hundreds of thousands of time cards and other SE games when they agreed to do this promo. Epic fail!
