We Have Reached the Maximum Number of Referrals Available for Today Please Try Again Tomorrow
Close to Black Friday, Oculus has launched a cool referral program, that lets yous give a special code to a friend of yours so that both you and he/she volition become discounts and shop credit. This is awesome, but actually, at the type of writing, there are three small big problems that I want to warn you about.
Oculus Referral Program
Speaking in details, the referral plan works this way: you know a friend that wants to purchase an Oculus Rift or Oculus Go. To incentivize him to buy the VR headset, you tin go to the Oculus Referrals page, log in into your Oculus business relationship and then follow the process there to send via due east-mail the referral link to your friend or get directly a lawmaking to transport in some other way (e.g. Whatsapp) to your peers.
If your friend will use the lawmaking, he/she will have a 10% discount on the purchase of the VR device. But there's even more: xxx days afterward the shipment of the headset, y'all volition become $30 Oculus store credit if your friend bought a Rift and $20 if he/she bought a Go! This credit is not eternal: you have one year to spend that coin to buy some awesome games and/or DLCs.
Every user tin can send at maximum 3 invites, and every invite code can be used but one time.
This program is crawly, because it offers a win-win both for who sends the invite and who receives it, but as I've said there are currently some trivial problems you should know.
US Only
Yes, as e'er, this is something that is US first. When I try to log into my Referrals page from Italy, I get this message.
So, only people from the US can generate codes. And that's really a nuisance… I don't fifty-fifty get why this is US only: legal reasons? Did they want to test this program in the home country showtime? For sure Oculus has its reasons, simply I'm quite sad because I would have loved to give codes to my friends to let them buy VR headsets… that's a pity.
Anyway, as far equally I understand, people from all over the world can employ the buy codes. So, if y'all want to have a disbelieve, you have to find an American friend to transport you a referral.
No refund?
While browsing Reddit, I found a mail of a Redditor complaining about the fact that he lost 2 of his 3 referral codes. How? Well, basically he lost the beginning one sending it to the wrong east-post and the second one past placing the order on the device sending information technology to a hotel, something that is non allowed.
Oculus support didn't help him in having back the codes he already used in the incorrect way. So basically, he used two codes, merely no i was used for a successful purchase, but they have been deactivated anyway. It seems that if y'all use an invite, it is gone for practiced, and you can't use information technology anymore… fifty-fifty if actually the code hasn't be used for an actual purchase. His one is quite an edge example, but I warn you to be careful when using referral invites/codes.
Rift shutdown
UPDATE: This consequence has been fixed some days afterward the publishing of this commodity, equally stated by Road To VR.
And then, you are from the U.s., you are sure you won't waste product your codes and you want admittedly to generate a code to make a friend of yours buy a Rift and then that she can play Robo Recall. It sounds adept, doesn't it?
My friend Virtual Reels has made me discover that information technology is non possible to generate invites for Rift anymore. If you endeavor to generate a code, you receive a predefined message like this ane:
Nosotros have reached the maximum number of referrals available for today. Please try again tomorrow.
Anyhow, at any fourth dimension and 24-hour interval people endeavor, the message is always that i. So that "tomorrow" is related to the day later some day in the 3020 maybe 😀
It seems that Oculus Rift referral codes are finished. And at the time of writing, the program has not been re-opened withal. Someone says that the cause of this may be that VR enthusiasts have organized themselves too well: on Reddit, there is a megathread of people exchanging invites and referral codes. This smart organization inside communities has made referral codes be distributed too fast and then Oculus has temporarily shut downwardly the program for Rift. I tried contacting Oculus asking if and when the program volition be restored, but I got no answer.
Anyway, existing codes of people generating them before the shutdown are all the same valid: yous can even so detect some of them in the above linked Reddit megathread: if one works for you… well, you have a 10% discount for your Oculus Rift!
All of the in a higher place doesn't agree for Oculus Go: referrals are still working very skilful for it.
And that's it. I just wanted to warn you about the petty problems that there are currently with Oculus Referrals. I love this referral idea of Oculus and and so I hope that the program will be expanded to all countries and that Rift codes will exist available once more. Come on Oculus, you tin do it! 🙂
