PCGamesN Cobra Mk3 Paint Job - Invalid code

[NeilF]

Anyone else had a code to redeem for a paint job from PCGamesN? (As linked to in the ED Newsletter)

I tried to redeem it in the Frontier store and I'm told it's invalid?

 

[CMDR Nate Lee]

Yeah, same here. But I only just got the email with the code so maybe Frontier is running a little late at their end.

Edit: PCGamesN content is also pretty good. Will be staying subbed to their YouTube channel and newsletter I think. Probably wouldn't have checked it out without seeing this giveaway.

 

[Rubbernuke]

Same here

*shakes fist at sky, sinks to knees and cries*

Oh good, I'm not the only one having an issue. Maybe we need to reclaim the code using the in game livery screen where you can buy paintjobs?

I have the same error. I'll give it a day or so to see if FDev get up to speed.

 

[Fost]

Same here. Sounds like everyone has this issue so maybe wait til later

 

[Cmdr Klubutz]

Same, I just get the code is invalid

Same here, I was thinking about sending a ticket when I found the thread.

Will the be redeemable at the steam store?

 

[Sergy096]

The instructions were clear:

To redeem your key, just follow these simple steps:

• Redeem at FrontierStore.net

Has anyone thought to try using it by accessing the frontier store in game? Someone on Fleetcomm discord says this worked for them.

It said it was successful, but no sight of it in the Frontier Store account information as a transaction? I'll assume it's applied it to the game account, but not created it as a store transaction?

EDIT:-

Got a confirmation email after a while:-

Congratulations on redeeming your code for the forthcoming PCGN. This will be added to your account as soon as it is available in game.​

Just had an email from PCGamesN:

Apologies to everyone for the code error. Your Cobra Mk III PCGN paint job codes ARE valid - but the redemption instructions are incorrect. Here's how to get your Elite Dangerous skin:

• Redeem at tools.elitedangerous.com
• You’ll find the PCGN Paint Job on your ‘My Downloadable Products’ page
• If you don’t have an Elite Dangerous account, you'll need to set one up first

Redeeming the product key in Frontier Store didn't work.
Tried to submit a ticket. Couldn't log in. The recaptcha thing gave "ERROR for site owner: Invalid site key".
Found the redeem gift URL from this thread. Can't log in because of the same recaptcha error. Sigh.

 

[Metamartian]

The instructions were clear:

seems clear instructions are not always correct though eh?

Just to be sure, Is the error for the captcha on the Customer Support site, or the EliteDangerous site?
