    Does this need to be renewed after a year?

    • Taegukgi on 06/01/2019 - 10:44

      I just signed up and didn't see anything about renewing or expiry.

      Did you redeem code?

  • luckylittle on 06/01/2019 - 10:57

    What is the token? It asks me for $21 or promo code.

    • Taegukgi on 06/01/2019 - 10:59

      You need to redeem the code through the link I provided in the OP.

        Oh ok, i get it now. Unfortunately "There are no offers currently available for you."

      • ceriaz on 06/01/2019 - 11:01

        Yep, tried that and no offers available for me, thought I'd go into the normal process to see if it removed the cost at checkout but it didn't not either.

    • twocsies on 06/01/2019 - 11:07

      All you have to do is follow the deal link, sign up and click on the Free Dev Center Membership under Offers.
      You will immediately receive a code that you can redeem here at the end of the registration process

      • skido on 06/01/2019 - 12:06

        Where does it say offers?

  • No Username on 06/01/2019 - 11:05

    No offers have been redeemed RIP. Wanted to change my email on my old dev account.

    I had a code on another Microsoft account (a work related one), which I used on a different Microsoft account (my normal one) and it redeemed fine, despite being a different account.

    • noz on 06/01/2019 - 15:25

      I can also confirm this to be valid.

  • Taegukgi on 06/01/2019 - 11:11

    I've redeemed mine but maybe someone wants to try to see if it's generic?

      Edit: I tried a random outlook account I had registered years ago and it had the offer. Cheers

    thanks OP, I wanted this for retroarch on Xbox, my XBL account didn't have the code but another M$ account did and that code worked on my XBL account, so all sorted 👍

      Was getting that whilst using Safari. Switched to chrome which worked

      • ozdesi on 06/01/2019 - 12:38

        MS does not like Safari they bed with Google to develop their new Edge

      • SlappersOnly on 06/01/2019 - 13:16

        Yeah I swapped browsers to get it to work

    Probably worth mentioning that you need to tick a box saying you're registered for GST.

    Guess they are really scratching to get devs to make apps for their store

    • ozdesi on 06/01/2019 - 13:11

      They should have done this years ago

      • Abaddon on 06/01/2019 - 20:51
        +1

        They did, I was already registered from previous offer.

        90% built an app at the time for some reward they were offering at the time. Haven't seen anything to entice me to finish it (was too busy with work at the time to get it in by their deadline).

        Fingers crossed they'll start handing things out to pad out the store at some point and I'll jump. Until then I have paid work (and reading OzBargain) to focus on.

    • Charity on 06/01/2019 - 13:13

      Windows Phone all over again :D

    My personal email does not get any offer
    But my work email does
    Then I use my work email to get the redeem code and applied to my personal email account
    Still works!

    BTW, I never use Microsoft Stores
    Does Microsoft Stores only publish apps for Win10?

      • jv on 06/01/2019 - 21:34

        Having registered for GST is required though…

        • ozdesi on 06/01/2019 - 22:06

          Should only be required for publishing apps to their store for commercial gains, if that was not the case then use it freely as a sandbox environment

          • jv on 06/01/2019 - 22:11

            @ozdesi:

            Should only be required for publishing apps

            It's required to complete the registration

            • ozdesi on 06/01/2019 - 22:18

              @jv: I know, just tick it and proceed ahead, you are not breaking EULA by doing that.

      Retroarch is coming out on Xbox One sometime "early this year" because it is a homebrew app you require to set Xbox One to DEV mode…To do that you need an MS Dev account.

  • [Deactivated] on 06/01/2019 - 18:55

    When I click the "Get Code" button it disappears nothing else happens. I've tried both Firefox and Edge. Maybe targeted or they have run out of free codes.

      When inspecting the page's response, I too get '{"ErrorMessage":"No unused inventory codes were found"}' :-(

        I saw the same error message in the Json Response.

    • Dinjay on 07/01/2019 - 09:26

    • mishrael on 07/01/2019 - 10:14

      Yup, same here, 3 different browsers all saying the same thing. Click Get Code and nothing happens. (apart from the GET CODE button dissapearing). Ohwell, was probably never going to use the damn thing anyways.
