Microsoft giving out an extra free 20GB of SkyDrive to Windows Phone users

[dznk]

It's not what you think. It is 20 GB but only for ONE YEAR. Not sure why people are hyping this.

Yep, I know it's for one year, but it would still prove very useful to me, especially as I currently have a yearly paid plan, so this would be a free extension onto this

Even if I didn't have a paid plan, a free year is a free year, so I would've taken it anyway.

Hi, I have not received it as on today Jan 06 2014.

Well I finally heard back from Microsoft after emailing them about this and I got the following reply:

"...We understand how you feel about the situation as you didn't receive an e-mail regarding 20GB for Free SkyDrive storage.

I suggest that you wait for the e-mail as this is sent randomly.

Thank you"

So, the answer is... wait. Although, I doubt very much whether anything will arrive now. Even when they send these offers out in batches, they would have all arrived by now surely. I'll give it a couple of weeks and then get back to them again. I am genuinely interested to hear why some people never received the offer and to see whether the people who never did receive it, can contact Microsoft to have a code sent to them.

I also never got a code. I have 25 GB from original SkyDrive and I pay for 50 GB more, but my SkyDrive is almost full.
