Replacement codes dont work. Same error
Update: still no email (did get another Prime Appreciaton Days one) - but a new code appeared!
.
A 1-month code, attatched to an order that worked perfectly fine.
Also, the new code gives this:
" Incorrect region
You are trying to purchase from an incorrect region. Youāll need to update your settings to purchase from the correct region."
Make sure you reach out to customer service.
Looks like I donāt need to. Woot has refunded the purchase, just gotta wait for it to post to the account and then I can go to a more-reputable reseller for the three-month pass.
Rather a shame, as I and a friend have both bought Woot keys in the past with no issuesā¦
WARNING - donāt buy these. We spent over $400 getting a yearās worth for each of our four accounts. 12 of 14 were already redeemed when we tried to enter them. Based on WOOT refusing to refund once the email with the validation codes are sent, weāre out almost $400. If they continue to refuse to send us new codes / refund the purchase price, I will no longer shop with them for anything - which is a shame because weāve been loyal customers since before Woot was such a huge site.
Iāll pop off a note to CS.
Its always fun anytime Woot sells a digital good. You can always assume some BS is attached to it to make you love woot that much more.
Pending my replacement code.
Apparently cant get codes - given a refund instead. I for one enjoy wasting my time with Woot just to break even minus all my time.
Lessons learned for many I am sure, zero by woot. They will do this again and again and again.
Same story here. Bought three codes - used one right away and saved the other two. Went to go use them both and said they were purchased in the wrong region. Contacted CS and was given a $10 off coupon to use next time (very kind), but basically told Iām SOL otherwise.
For those who did get a refund, did you continue to respond to the initial e-mail? Feels like Woot surely must be noticing a trend here and would be great if they could hold the vendor/supplier accountable.
Iāll drop a note to CS.
Oh they gave you a coupon code? Nice to know, thanks.
So far I am being presented more bad codes just like the rest of the people above, because apparently wasting more time is the answer.
Thank you
Havenāt heard back from woot in 4 days since I provided them proof that their additional codes didnāt work. Guess thatās that. Good luck to the rest
tier customer service taken on.
Back to canned responses from unsigned customer service reps. ![]()
They took care of you though.
Another satisfied customer, right?
Having the same region issue. I tried reaching out to customer service and got no response. Just tried again. Did people have to try multiple times to get any kind of info?
Hi there, customer service will reply to the email listed on your Woot account so youāll want to check there if itās different from your Amazon account. Response time is typically 24-48 hours and youāll want to check your spam & junk folders.
Return labels will come directly from UPS, not Woot.
You may want to add info@woot.com to your contacts in your email program.
(Please Note: Iām not employed by Woot, but I volunteer to help in the forums.)
My codes are not valid in the US and WOOT knows and doesnāt care. No refunds and they canāt make it right, be careful of these. This feels like one of those old fake site scams where they send you codes that are bad and ignore you after.
Hello. Make sure you did reach out to customer service. Iāll check in with them on Monday.
