Lumia Offers app missing

[Hans Swolfs]

hey guys and gals,

I just got my 950 XL today and got it all set up... Now I wanted to look for the Lumia Offers app to get my free dock but the app is just missing from my phone?

Can't find it in the store either so how do I go about?

Please don't say I need to do a hard reset

cheers,
Hans

doing a hard reset without restoring a backup...

after hard reset, app still not there... doing all updates from store now.

I don't have the app either, let me know if it appears after reset with no restore..

Figured it out.
I have a German 950xl but set it up as UK from my old back up = no offers.
Hard reset and try UK = no offers.
German settings = offers.

So seems you need right region as per device to get this and other apps installed during setup and then change language etc after.

mine is set up as a Belgium one but no joy...

Need to contact Microsoft apparently

So seems i am not the only one. Did you find a way to contact them? So far i was offered only by self help things

I have the same problem. I made the setup of the 950 XL with my Microsoft-Account and restoring the Data from my old Lumia. I got all the new apps like sky and the new maps, but no Lumia Offers to order Continuum...:angry:

Same issue here. I got my 950XL last thursday. Contacted the company where I ordered mine and they have contacted Microsoft. They told me the app would be there in 24h. But I haven't got it still.

Monday I will call the number provided by the reseller.

Install the app from store:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/store/apps/lumia-offers/9nblggh2kbnv?tduid=$290e85a47d2191b1b1a8d7d068d598b1$$263915$$2775081$$$$$

BTW After OOB I got different (older?) version of Lumia Offers and it showed me no offers. After upgrading to the above I got it.

Thanks, that worked for me. (BTW you have to copy the text of the url, not the link.)

 

[Hans Swolfs]

Cheers for that link! All done now

 

[bula_i]

Great link, thanks! Now I got the offer, they told me, I?m qualified for the offer and they will send me an e-mail. But - so far (after hours) - no e-mail - how long does it take to receive the mail???

haven't received mine either yet...

I got the same link from MS Support. I now see the offer but I can't order it.........

 

[Tc1984]

From Netherland.....

I get the app....I touch claim it....till it show claim now ...then tap Continued.....Then it say Sorry this offer is not available.

 

[bula_i]

After 18 hours or so I received the mail with the code. Yes!!!

So I tried to order in the Microsoft-Store, code was accepted, but the transaction failed in the payment section at the very end. So I tried it once more from my PC, now the code was invalid.

So I contacted the very helpful Microsoft Store Hotline. Finanlly they were able to place the order for me. I received a confirmation and they told me it will take only a couple of days...

It?s a real adventure, thanks to the Microsoft staff, but the process is horrible and absolutely no recommendation for Microsoft.

I have been trying to redeem the offer however when I get to the final screen, it says the offer is no longer available.

Update: I called support and they processed the order for me on the phone no charge.

What number did you call? I have been having issues getting in touch with anyone that actually knows what they are doing or how to help.
