Ok will do. Something going badly wrong with referrals recently.

If anyone who has successfully accepted a referral link and got the credit sees anything wrong with my steps for accepting a referral please let us know. Thanks.

Looks like double referral is US only.

Looks like carazeb got the 60 on Christmas day.

Basq

Finally got myself and @deadduck (pending confirmation) sorted for referral credit via WhatsApp support.

Emails I sent have been sitting unanswered for 5 days so WhatsApp definitely the way to go.

Any chance I could be added to referral list also when possible? Thanks!

Next person looking for a referral PM @Only to get a referral link.

Steps for accepting a referral (1st time headset owner bought brand new):

1. Please do not activate your headset before opening the referral link.
2. Open the referral link.
3. Click sign up / login
4. Login with your meta account OR Create a meta account if you dont have one (I recommend setup with email option*).
5. Use the same meta account login details when activating your headset.

*You can add your facebook and instagram accounts in headset settings later if you want but you dont have to.

If you have already activated your headset and still want to try accepting a referral:

1. Must be done within 7 days of first activation of headset.
2. Factory Reset: Open the mobile app->settings->devices->factory reset. Please note any installed games will have to re-download and any game saves not backed up to cloud will be lost.
3. Remove the Meta Quest headset from the "Devices" section in the meta quest mobile app.
4. Open the referral link.
5. Login with your meta account from before factory reset.
6. Setup your headset again.

Any updates needed to these steps please let us know.

Double referral credit guide from mrcheez for Quest headset owners upgrading:

Meta have updated their terms to clarify that referrals are for first time headset activation with a Meta account. E.g. if you already own a Quest 2 and purchase a Quest 3 then no referral unfortunately. HOWEVER mrcheez has managed to refer himself while upgrading from Quest 2 to Quest 3 resulting in 2 x 30 euro referral credit. Please see these posts for more info:

Yes we got the €60 without any issues thankfully. I completed the entire process in one sitting (without any delay between stages, if that makes sense) - so clicked the referral link, set up a Meta account (using email) and then switched on the Quest for the first time. The €60 store credit was on the account straight away when we linked up the new Quest 3 to it.

Julez

Could I be added to the list please. Thanks!

Quango Unchained

I'm in a WhatsApp with Meta regarding the referral link I used from @paulie13

They're asking for full name, email address and alias of both parties.

I've asked @paulie13 to message me privately with this information.

ForestFire

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121553514#Comment_121553514

This is what they asked me for also from "Only" earlier.

In the end they could not get it to work, but maybe you'll have better luck than us.

Not sure what's going wrong at the moment with these, but I think people need to be willing to share these details with users here.

paulie13

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121553514#Comment_121553514

Done. Thanks!

Quango Unchained

@paulie13 has now received credit for referring me after I contacted support. Not sure why we had to contact Meta.

So I'll wait my turn on the referrer's list.

jj880

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121553790#Comment_121553790

You both should get credit. Did you get yours?

Goto store then any game and look at the bottom to check.

If you didnt I would get back on to them and ask for it...

Quango Unchained

Yes, I did also receive credit.

I left this to almost the last minute :), but I managed to get AW2 on my main account, and €60 on my main and alt accounts. Thanks for the guides @mrcheez and @podgeandrodge !

I think I'll leave the €60 on the alt account for the time being, as I'm hoping Meta will send me a 30%/€8 credit for the new account at some point. Then I'll buy a game that never goes on sale like Lone Echo 2.

BTW, the double referral bonus is active until 8am tomorrow folks!

ozmo

@soap1978 please pm ozmo a referral link.

Referral links worked for me no issues - thanks.

I finally managed to gift the Quest 2 I got on BF for a family birthday here.

Would it please be possible to get a referral link?

Update: I PMed Joe Cat for one as per Jj880s latest post

I hope that is the correct procedure:-0

Oh apparently Joe Cat link is done so should it be Sanestino?..?

jj880

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121599395#Comment_121599395

Ok @Sanestino please PM a referral link to @tea and coffee

JoeCat

I completed a referral few days ago with user @Officer Giggles . I didn't update the forum because initially it didn't work, but now the user @tea and coffee asked for a referral and with my son we just realized that the previous referral from last week worked out well. So I have asked the user @tea and coffee to contact the next referral user.

Thanks for facilitating it @jj880 and happy to be part of the list to provide referral again in the future (well, my son will be happy).

Officer Giggles

Can I be added to the list, I used the referral from @JoeCat . Thanks.

tea and coffee

Hi @jj880 I'm not sure Sanestino is still active on Boards. They haven't been online since Jan 3rd and their log shows no posts by them on Boards. What should I do, please?

jj880

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/121601929#Comment_121601929

Yeah we usually give until the next day for someone to send a link then move on as we dont want to lose the referral. @Sanestino if you see this PM me and I'll put you back to the top of the list for next referral.

@antodeco please PM tea and coffee a referral link. Thanks.
