          Yeah try on PC. Also have a look at this Reddit discussion, some people said they have a solution: https://www.reddit.com/r/OculusQuest/s/U3PgeBe9xY
          They wrote:

          Just got it to work. Delete Facebook, instagram, Facebook messenger. Clear cache on mobile browser. Create new email not affiliated with Facebook accounts and delete and reinstall app.

          • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 14:04

            @Shitforbrains: Im using Microsoft edge browser no facebook on here, don’t have instagram and don’t have app of meta installed

  • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 12:20

    Why is post expired deal says ends 7th jan?

  • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 13:20

    I may try adding Firefox on my phone but why is this even an issue. As tried so much time’s trying to get up a meta account I have no idea what’s going on with referrals now.
    She has her meta account if that makes sense as we did the email password part and got code to get on it, but I’m sure part of the process and I believe completing it involves horizon name and username.

    How do you know referral works or maybe been used not used to doing referral but honest never had such carry on to set up an account and have no idea if referral will even work if I get it to all work.

    • Shitforbrains on 31/12/2023 - 13:42

      After you have set up the Meta account you can click on the referral again to make sure it has worked

      • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 13:51

        I am on pc and the same issues, so am i right that part of the setting an account is to complete the horizon as well as you can sign into meta just i can not compete the horizon part.
        on this pc there is no facebook on it but wife email mabye linked to a facebook i need to ask

      • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 13:53

        as a said am signed into meta with wife email and phone number etc used its just the horizon part i cant get past

      • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 13:54

        even if i get that far how do you know it worked

        • Shitforbrains on 31/12/2023 - 14:07

          If it worked previously it will say you have already accepted a referral

          • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 14:11

            @Shitforbrains: lol wife does not know if email is linked to a facebook account but she has other emails but what happens to this one i used have already used her email and date of birth and phone number does this cause other issues,dont i have already a meta account set up as i can see her logged in but this silly horizon thing is part of the process right? just weird that im signed into meta but the horizon is not complete

            • Shitforbrains on 31/12/2023 - 14:27

              @bwatt72: Try creating a new Gmail account and use that to create a new Meta account and Horizon profile on a PC. Use the new Meta account to accept a referral and then make sure you use that new Meta account to activate the Quest 3.

              • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 14:32

                @Shitforbrains: so a new email account can i do this with already a signed up meta account already log in i just assumed once you use a phone number you cant? this horizon profile is part of the process right and if not completed quest 3 not work?
                i think she has another email account i could use this.

          • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 15:00

            @Shitforbrains: right i never changed email or phone number and got the user name completed not ideal but will do so if i click on refferal on here i should know if it worked? now what add and app or set up headset or have i more to set on this meta account

          • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 15:12

            @Shitforbrains: do you know why this post has expired the $94 ends 7th jan?

            you said to check if refferal worked i clicked on the refferal and says do you want to accept? do i do this now or later or after headset is set up i still to add app,can i add app to my phone and sign up to wife account to set up headset etc? As she is leaving right now and will have her phone with her i ca always wait till she gets back and get her to install app and do rest then

            but on the refferal is says $47 not $94

            • Shitforbrains on 31/12/2023 - 15:25

              @bwatt72: Accept the referral now. The deal is still on until Jan 7. You have to accept the referral first, and then activate the Quest 3.

              • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 16:14

                @Shitforbrains: Ok cool accepted the referral, next step would be to get meta app on wife phone, can’t do this until she gets back later today
                Then I set up headset which you mean by activation of quests 3.

                It will be a pain in the butt as I will probably have to set the lenses to my eyes and adjust the front so on face securely and set the head straps.

                It’s a shame I can’t hold the thing to my face temporarily to select a few things and I’m done, as once I do put it on my head I need to set it up for my daughter to fit her head.
                And I believe headset needs to be on to set that part up, shame it could not be set up from app and all I did was set up headset to daughters head and she ready to go.

                Is it correct that the referral I just accepted now is mine or until I complete headset part or I have a set time to use this.
                I was told you don’t get the referral for another 7 days is this correct?

                As I was hoping to set this up tonight I mean add app to wife phone and set up headset and on the 1st jan or 2nd January as i believe it be end of 2nd January games sale ends. To use this towards some cheaper gsmes.
                Is it just games you can’t use their referral cash credit on or other accessories not that I get Mets accessories as they cost an arm and leg and there is cheaper maybe better accessories third party out there.

                Any tips on essential accessories for the q3 I was hearing protecting the lens was important a must when not in use.

                Obviously other accessories will come along for daughter over time even something to keep it in away from younger brother.

                I just put headset in a silk pillow case and put it in a swim bag will not protect from damage from dropping it or knocks but it will save it be scratched etc.

                • Shitforbrains on 31/12/2023 - 16:34

                  @bwatt72: After you accept the referral you have a few days within which you need to set up the Quest 3. You should get the credit as soon as you activate the Quest 3. After activating the Quest 3 you open the mobile app then click Menu then click on the referral banner and there should be a button to redeem the credit.

                  Store credit can only be used for games and apps.

                  I got a third-party headstrap and facial interface to improve comfort but let your daughter try the original ones first and see if they work for her, it all depends on the user's head shape.

                  Make sure sunlight never hits the Quest 3 lenses/screens. The big lenses that you look through can act like magnifying glasses when sunlight hits them, and this can burn spots into the screen. So make sure your daughter puts a cover on the lenses or puts it in a case after use or at least face the lenses/screens away from windows.

                  • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 17:18

                    @Shitforbrains: Ok cool so there is no need to add app on wife’s first before setting up headset?

                    Nothing stopping me putting on headset now but then I may need wife to be around to give me code to get into the account.

                    But to be ready when she gets back I can first add the app yes?
                    Then set up headset and go onto app which is ready to go.get the referral.

                    As for the free game that comes with it once headset is activated this should be available in the app to get as well?

                    Hopefully there are no further issues as that was hard work just getting past horizon part set up.

                    Once I activate the headset havd the app installed all that leaves is to set a secondary account for my daughter who do I get this done

                    And once I get the referral $ and the free game and once maybe I use the $ to get some games on the sale currently on I will want to share these with daughter.

                    I assume any free stuff or games I need to add to daughters account goes through mums account and is shared?

                    It will be set for a 13 year old account and i assume no proof is asked for when doing this and I take when this is set up it can be done with app as once I set headset to her head want to keep it that way.

                    And i assume most of the settings are already pre set for daughter through mum

                  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 16:43

                    @Shitforbrains: Sorry I probably repeat the same questions all the time just don’t want to mess things up along the way.

                    You said you get a few days to set up quest 3 headset as I did it yesterday afternoon should still be ok, how does one know I still all good? I did accept the referral yesterday so assuming all is still good. But how do I know for sure?

                    You have probably told me a heap of times

                    So as I assume that my referral is still active now I need to activate the headset yes? And to do this I need to wear the headset?

                    I just find it possibly a pain in the butt to have to adjust the lens and straps etc etc to set headset up.
                    It ok if it was going to be mine and I use it from there on but it’s obviously my daughter’s and means messing around with headset again.

                    I have no idea how to activate the headset which I’m sure you said to do this I need to wear, is it certain things I need to select or will there be things there on screen that’s obvious I need to click on to activate it.

                    At this point of activation of device I hope the referral is stick with me.

                    When you say after you activate the quest 3 which I believe is on my head I then are you saying I go on my mobile phone app and click menu then click on referral banner and should be a button to redeem the credit.

                    You did mention afterwards to

                    You will need to install the app on your wife's phone to activate the Quest 3.

                    Is this how you activate the quest 3 then with your phone I thought you mentioned before you do so on headset as well? In what order as I’m getting bit confused if I was able to set up headset without wearing it would be great but I believe this is not the case.

                    I’m just not sure in what order I’m supposed to do this and obviously don’t want think while doing so am I doing this right.

                    Obviously if I have to wear the headset ok but I thought I could just hold up to face temporary just for set up purpose but probably can’t.

                    If I have set the headset to my head and I’m all set up I have gotten the referral and I got the free game and I have then asked daughter what games she wants from her referral funds as sale ends tomorrow I would want to purchase them asap.

                    Then I can while it’s still set up to my head to set up secondary account and then sharing part, I just hope this part can be done with mobile app or again is as mentioned is it just head set only.
                    As I don’t want to set up headset then set it for her head not knowing I’m not done and setting it up to her head again, yes I make it sound as if it’s a big task but maybe it’s a lot of messing about with headset I don’t need.

                    • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 17:39

                      @bwatt72: Since you accepted the referral yesterday it will work. They allow a few days for people who use a referral and then go out to buy the device or order it online, so you will be well within the time limit.

                      First charge the Quest 3 and then set it up (see the instructions from Meta linked below)

                      Then install the Meta Quest app on your wife's phone and login to the same Meta account that you used to accept the referral.
                      Make sure you have Bluetooth on (on the phone).

                      In the Meta Quest app you press Menu, Devices, then Connect New Device. Select Quest 3 and follow the steps. You will need to put on the headset for some of the steps.

  • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 14:15

    what i do not get is i am logged into her meta?? but the problem here is it maybe not complete as horizon part is giving me a hard time or needs to go further to complete account in full?

  • bwatt72 on 31/12/2023 - 14:54

    funny thing is i just some long username to work there and its accpeted it but its a joke i tried a million of them and none was availble to work,i just use it to get det up only thing is stuck with it for 6 months

  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 20:00

    How to you find refferal in the app

  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 20:08

    Can’t see any referral

  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 20:18

    Also headset set say app not set up when it is and headset stuck with a screen with code.
    I have already I think request the free game that comes with it but with no referral and can’t get the code screen on headset this is just crazy trying to set this up weird thing is wife had already put app on her phone and unsure how it was already log in as I not put any log in details in headset or app yet but yet app knows

    • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 20:25

      Check in the app that you are logged in with the same Meta account that you used to accept the referral. Make sure it is not logged in via a Facebook or Instagram account. Logout and login again to make sure

      • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 21:11

        It’s same account I believe and used when I logged into with pc and did referral as no Facebook or instagram on there

  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 20:37

    Somehow I was able to pair the phone with headset it must not have done it originally but no sign of referral and that is worth $94 which I planned to use on the games sale currently ending Tomorrow so where am I supposed to see such credit and where do I see the free game does it need to be downloaded to device or does it just get added

    • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 20:49
      +1

      In the Meta Quest app on the phone, press Menu then press the referral banner. What do you see there?

      • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 20:59

        There is no referral banner all I can see is refer a friend and earn rewards get au$94 in store credit for every meta quest 3 headset that you refer in December

        The it says invites a friend to buy a headset blah blah and gives a link further down to copy or share so not sure what is going on

  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 20:54

    I went into store wallet and says I have $47 credit?? What happened to the $92? And dated 31st December it’s 1st January unless somewhere in the world is 31st Dec still? So don’t get why I got $47 and not $92

    What should I do use it and complain I never got the $92 or not use it a they somehow give the remaining. I obviously wanted this $92 as that’s what they are offering if gives my daughter an extra game or two.

    But when I expected the referral yesterday this was the amount it said it was $47 so what’s going on. I still need to set up the daughter account and sharing part I was just thinking of getting some cheaper games while I have the credit but it’s lower than it should be and probably by time I contact meta they games sale will be finished.
    I know we are not taking about lots of money but that’s what it says
    How does one complain about there are even members on here who got two sets of $92 credit for each device yet I don’t get it for the first buy

    • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 21:03

      Contact Meta support and tell them you should have received $94 credit but only got $47. I think you can spend the credit you have now during the sale and they should give you another $47 later.

      • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 21:11

        What’s best method to contact them

      • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 21:24

        And regarding the free game I have started to download the free game but wow it’s 36gb if I remember and it’s happening on the headset and gets a little hot. I take you can’t stop or pause it and continue on the phone with app. Does games need to be downloaded on app or headset as this game I started on the headset will take ages and I feel better on a mobile etc instead

        • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 21:26

          It has to be downloaded on to the headset. Make sure there is space around the headset for ventilation. Hot air comes out of the front near the top

          • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 22:14

            @Shitforbrains: Going to set up later accounts for my daughter but it will be on wife account right?

            So when it says this.

            Before adding an additional account to your Meta Quest headset, you must first create the new Meta account and pair the account with a mobile phone using the Meta Quest mobile app.

            So I can use the wife’s phone number as it will be added to her one right and then she is able to share apps to get account.

            We are talking about this is daughters device but set up by mum lol who is admin but has control over daughter use.

          • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 22:25

            @Shitforbrains: Also it says you can only log into one meta account at once using same phone number is this only for set up purposes? As seems wife will need to log out I make daughter account use same number and only one works at once?
            Or do I then log back into mums account and then share.

            Obviously have the free game downloading so don’t want to mess around while that’s going on.

            • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 22:56

              @bwatt72: Yes you will have to log out and log in with your wife and daughter's accounts as required to set up multiple accounts and app sharing

              • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 23:04

                @Shitforbrains: Ok so how does this work daughter is on mums account but only daughter can play or mum but not together but they don’t have two headsets.
                So how does the mum admin part kick in if daughter is signed in but not mum

              • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 23:35

                @Shitforbrains: Never read that right so it’s the set up process only for setting up, we are thinking just to leave as us and she can mums account no harm in that? Added a card with no money in it so purchasing can be done

                • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 23:55

                  @bwatt72: Yeah I think you only need to sign in the daughter's account on the phone app when you are setting it up, after that you would have the phone app signed in to your wife's account so she can administer it.

                  Yes you can just let your daughter use your wife's account but she must never let anyone know she is a child or Meta may suspend the account and ask for ID (they try to enforce people using the correct type of account). So don't let her use voice chat and try to supervise as much as possible.

  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 21:40

    Ok I have sent a message to meta but as I said in my wallet it says $47 so yes the referral must have worked but that’s what was displayed when I accepted the referral and that’s what I got which is very weird. I would not get this $47 any other way than a referral and it was through here. If I had logged into different accounts all this setting up etc would not be possible and there would not be any referral you only get $47 or $92 by referral and it seems they did not give me the right amount

  • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 21:42

    Can you cancel the download and continue later with a game just curious

    • Shitforbrains on 01/01/2024 - 22:52

      yes you can

      • bwatt72 on 01/01/2024 - 23:01

        And regarding the setting up daughter account she uses her mums number as obviously she not got her own number as it says only one can be used at one time so how does mum keep eye on things or is this just for setting it up?
        As I thought mum shares the games just confused on the phone number part

    I accepted a referral from the generator on dec 26. I will probably receive my quest 3 in a couple of days. will I receive the credit if I login using the same account or should I create a new account and accept another referral before switching on the headset?

  • Sr2223 on 06/01/2024 - 15:53

    the referral link shows $47 is this deal now expired?

    • Shitforbrains on 06/01/2024 - 16:17

      I just tried clicking "random" and it gave me a link where it says "Get AU$94 in Meta Quest Store credit for activating the Meta Quest 3 and AU$47 for the Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest Pro."

      • VRuser on 06/01/2024 - 16:30

        Do we need to activate the headset within certain days to get the credit?

        • Shitforbrains on 06/01/2024 - 16:58

          Yeah but I am not sure what the time limit is

          Meta states the referral will expire after 90 days or earlier if it's mentioned in the referral invite:

          "The link expires 90 days from the date sent or any earlier date stated in the invitation. Your friend must be a new Meta Quest user; you may not send referral links to yourself; referral credit can only be applied once to an account with a newly activated Meta Quest device; refurbished devices are excluded from the referral programme."

          Full details here: https://www.meta.com/au/legal/quest/referral-program/

          But remember for the $94 you need to purchase and activate before the 7th 23:59 PT (which I believe will be Monday 8th at 6:59PM Eastern Australian Time).

        • VRuser on 08/01/2024 - 19:24

          Confirming that I got double credits. Accepted last month and activate before 7 Jan 23:59 PT

      • Sr2223 on 06/01/2024 - 17:25

        hmm when i click the random link the browser says $47

        • pixxelpusher on 06/01/2024 - 22:48

          I just tested the random referral button and this is what it still says for me:

          "Buy a new Meta Quest headset from any retailer, and you'll both earn rewards once you've activated your headset. Get AU$94 in Meta Quest Store credit for activating the Meta Quest 3 and AU$47 for the Meta Quest 2 or Meta Quest Pro."

          • Sr2223 on 07/01/2024 - 00:00

            @pixxelpusher: hmmm if im not logged into a meta account it says $94 credit referral for metaquest 3 purchase, then when I get to creating and logging into a meta account it comes up with the Accept Referral button "buy any new Metaquest headset from any retailer and you will both get AU$47 in store credit"

            • pixxelpusher on 07/01/2024 - 00:19

              @Sr2223: That's odd. The only things I can think of is clearing your browser cache / cookies and trying again. Or try in a different web browser. Or try on a different device like laptop or phone. I do all mine through a web browser on a laptop.

              • Sr2223 on 07/01/2024 - 00:32

                @pixxelpusher: yeah it is strange ,that was on both my phone and on desktop PC

                • pixxelpusher on 07/01/2024 - 00:52

                  @Sr2223: If all else fails, message Customer Support and show them a screenshot of the promotion that you're supposed to get $94. In my experience they'll honor it. I've even had them give me credit when I've had slight issues with the website not showing pages properly.

                  • Sr2223 on 07/01/2024 - 04:11

                    @pixxelpusher: thanks for the tip, I accepted the referral when i purchased then the message that popped up after mentioned the $94 credit . Fingers crossed it comes through once I receive and activate my head set

                    • bwatt72 on 07/01/2024 - 20:29

                      @Sr2223: I did this on the 31st dec and I only got $47 I’m still chasing the rest as should be $94

                      @Sr2223: Also don't forget you need to activate the headset before the 7th 23:59 PT (which I believe will be Monday 8th at 6:59PM Eastern Australian Time) else you'll only get the standard $47.

    I signed up and.registered with this deal, and used a referral link generated from the link generator.

    Although the process appeared to work, the referral credit has not come and I am in a very frustrating email conversation with Meta support.

    If you meta name is Mjenko24, please pm me as you were the referrer and I need some more details to pass on to Meta support. You may have some credit coming….

      If you haven't already, try the mod forum to see if they can see who put that username in the referral page and if they can message that user on your behalf. https://www.ozbargain.com.au/forum/10041

      I remember a post where someone else asked for that in the past, though can't find it in a quick search.

    Off topic - Anyone be able to pm me your Meta Quest account details, just for the referral, requested by the CS? Will have to include first and last name as listed on the account, email address, and username, thanks.
