So about that Black Fat Chocobo promo on Amazon...

[linay]

Sooooo I WAS able to buy the digimal time card last week from Amazon, it just pops in every so rarely as being available. After processing I get the code from Amazon and go to try and add it in to my account and it says that I can't add a time card to my account if my paid for subscription exceeds 120 days already. I look at it and I'm paid up through the end of November currently....

..........

So maybe sometime in September or October, I can try to use the code from Amazon, if it still works, but what are the chances that I don't get my fat chocobo then since the promotion will have ended by then. I pretty much assumed this would happen...

If you're good until the end of November, you probably have around 150 days. Since the time card is for 60 days, you just need to wait 30 days (150-30+60=180), so end of July.

But as for the promotion, I don't know, I would assume it will still apply. Maybe contact Amazon for clarification.

We can't even buy the Shadowbringers token, a smaller issue against the inability to buy the FFVII remake first class edition I suppose.

Why does SE hate our money.

They're probably afraid that it'll try to kill them. Australia does have a reputation.

The time card code and the black chocobo code are two separate codes. You can use the black chocobo code immediately, it's not tied to the other.

Yeah, tried to use a VPN, but still didn't work ... this is so disgusting from SE ...Why not doing to a whole Region, instead of jsut one country. This is jsut a shit show of how SE can be for promotions, just a giant **** you from SE to Canada players.

No proxy and no us address needed. Just go to amazon.com not .ca. Find a qualifying purchase, preferably digital and order. When in checkout if item qualifies it says in small print.



I did have to log out and log back in for the digital time card. At first got not available in region, after it switched to sold out. Checked a few times till in stock and purchased waited almost 48 hours and got email.

I call bullshit on you. I look at my email all the time, and the only time i got an email was June 18th ... we are June 25th :/

I wasn't going to let it be. I contacted Amazon customer support again, and they made it right. I am happy now, and will have 2 months of sub time more.

Now I am actually just waiting on my fat black chocobo code!

Codes are tied to the specific eligible orders. If you order something that isn't eligible you WILL NOT receive a code, nor can a code be generated. If you cancel or return an order the codes get deactivated.

Lucky for you, i didn't got the same treatment.

What happened?

I showed them the original email from SE that linked me to their entire games page, said I bought the headset specifically, because I thought it was applicable. Sent them the two different emails of how their marketing team bungled the whole issue, and then they gave me a 20 dollar store credit, that I just used to buy my 60-day time card for another 10 dollars.

I waited until tonight to place my order, because the game I wanted just released today. I couldn't tell if it was eligible for the promotion; it didn't say it was on the final confirmation page. Maybe the list of eligible games was pre-set, and a game released during the promotion would be ineligible, or maybe it would qualify but just hadn't been flagged as eligible by the site.

I wanted to be sure one way or the other, so I delayed finalizing my order and used their help chat. The rep didn't seem to be familiar with the promotion, and asked me for a link to it. The best I could do was to link another game that definitely said it was eligible, and this was enough.

I waited a few minutes while he contacted someone in Marketing. He then told me that, yes, I could get the code; he just needed me to finalize the order while we were connected. I did, and after a few more minutes of waiting he told me I'd get the code within 24-48 hours.

If you can't tell whether or not the game you want is eligible for the offer, it can't hurt to ask!

It ain't not far from the truth tbh. (When i'm piss, i can be a bastard... but it rarely happen)

I jsut wish SE could see EU Australia and Canada as CUSTOMERS AS WELL... like why treating us unfairly,don,t they want more money?

Like, idk who ever is making marketing promotion(for digital item promotion) for SE, but they sure are not very good at it.
