Just arrived in the Lumia Offers app.

I can verify in the US on a Lumia 950.

Excellent. Let me know if the checkout through the store works for you. The website is broken here in the UK (claiming the Display Dock was also a bit of a pain too).

I'm not seeing the Display Dock offer. It may be that I'm using a 950, or it may be only available to the UK.

 

[Pete]

I think the display dock offer is 950XL only.

I checked out and now it is activated.

Not working on my 950XL in the UK. Unidentified error 8467.

Edit - Tell a lie - retried and it worked. Claiming now......thanks for the tip!!

Edit2 - still get an error when it tries to claim. Shall persist see if it will work. Error 769C now, but at least it shows the offer.

Haha - edit 3 - it worked. Email received!! Happy days.

Little tip, i noticed it sets you up to auto renew as you have to put a payment method in [i used paypal].

Make sure you go back into your account and turn off auto renew, may get a shock in 12 months if you don't!

So this is observed in the US on both 950 and 950 XL? Also, for those who received offer in US, do you have an existing Office 365 subscription (and if so, what tier) tied to your Microsoft account? I have the "family plan" tier that allows for multiple installs, and I'm wondering if I'll receive the offer and be able to apply it towards the higher priced plan I have.

It won't extend a Office 365 Home subscription. I managed to do it by activating the free O365 Personal on a new account, upgrading it to O365 Home, $10, and then contacting support. The cancelled the 15 months I had on the new account and gave me a code good for 12 months on O365 Home. (So I ended up paying $10, and spending 45 minutes in the chat with support, to turn it into a year of O365 Home.)

I have three more of these O365 Personal codes, but I'm not sure that support would let me go through all that again...
