Danikat.8537 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I'm trying it right now and the Twitter option keeps appearing and disappearing. I'm only trying Facebook right now but that isn't working. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone thank You. Arenanet I love you. > > Lisa. May I ask you some questions about your progress? When you kept trying to get the rewards to load to click on the right one, if you went over to 'Profile' in 'Social', does the app you chose to link show the radio button on? Did you choose Facebook or Instagram? When you clicked on the GW2 reward, did it pop up with a "$1 off" coupon pop up and ask you to login to instagram and/or facebook, and when you did, just came back to the same pop up? My Instagram account shows I've authorized something called 'Social Rewards', and if I unauthorize it and do the process again, it shows back up, so clearly that is the thing to be linked to Kung Fu, and it's working, but it's not clear to me the app understands I've linked it. And then I get in that "$1 off" loop that won't let me go anywhere. I'm curious as to whether you experienced the same sort of behavior before you finally got in, or if your experience was different. I'd rather not have to make a fake Facebook account, but if that is a better way to go, I suppose I can do that instead. Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoseofGilead.8907 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 I tried (and failed) multiple times at getting Facebook to connect to the app. It finally connected properly about 10 minutes ago. So, we'll see if the reward ever pops up. :p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, did you just leave that there and keep trying to connect in the app itself? At one point when trying to connect to the app did it seem to work? Does that radio button show 'on' for you now?

I "de-authorized" it twice but then gave up on that. So, my next 10 or so attempts were just repeat spam attempts, without going into Facebook to remove the permissions from the last attempt. On my unsuccessful attempts, the radio button would show On until I left the Connect Social Media Accounts tab; once I left that tab and came back, the button would show Off. After the successful attempt, it now shows my FB profile picture and name at the top of the Connect Social Media Accounts tab, and the Facebook button stays On, even after fully restarting the app. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sanity Obscure.6054 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 Can't they just give you a code on a paper when you buy a drink and mention the gw2 promo? This is just so convoluted and shady.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it sounds like before I even need to worry about the reward list, I need to keep trying to connect my Instagram until it 'sticks', and 'then' try to get the right rewards to show up and pick it. Something new to go on, thanks again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hard to implement. "Buy a drink in store"? It's not like I'm going to take a seven hour flight just to go to their (...) stores. That was my point.

Maybe if I restart the phone... Worked fine this morning but since noon, that issue appeared when trying to link accounts like facebook, I've the same now currently when I try to log-back into my facebook account :/ Maybe we just have to wait, or they should do something with their app! I can't have the deluxe thingy since the "Scan" option for facebook post with #GW2xKFT is totally broken... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like I'm going to take a seven hour flight just to go to their (...) stores. That was my point. So like I said, you would buy something online such as a mug or stickers and get a code. Options for everyone. Then you would have an advertisement for Kung Fu Tea and the promotion is still implemented. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Wait... when is the US Labor Day holiday? Oh, I remember now. First Monday in September. So not only a weekend, but a *long* weekend.) Stunningly excellent timing, people.

Not hard to implement. I doubt in store people have a clue about this promo.. This is probably online only in terms of promoting. In store people just sell the drinks, and have nothing to do with the promotion at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Haishao.6851 Posted September 1, 2018 Share Posted September 1, 2018 This is weird I went on to make an Instagram account and my email was showing like it's already been used. I don't remember ever having an Instagram account so I did a password reset, and once I got into the account I found out someone from Asia has been using my email for their Instagram.
