Quicken 5G missing

5G of space for Quicken promotion did not apply to my account and when I try again to apply the Quicken 5GB Dropbox Coupon Code the result is: Coupon has already been applied. How to I go about getting this fixed? Quicken support says, "Talk to Dropbox"!

  • I followed the instructions to the letter and there were no errors displayed, just no storage space added. I tried again, as I said, but was blocked from reusing the code. I spoke with a Quicken support agent who said, "Talk to Dropbox support", which, as you probably know, is frustratingly impossible, and the Dropbox chatbot is so generic that's it's useless. After posting here, I connected with a Quicken chat agent who had a second code generated for me, and on the second attempt it worked.

    Hey Phil L, sorry to hear about this.

     

    Can you send us a screenshot of the error in question?

    Yes, that is correct.  Quicken support issued the new code today and entering it gave the above new error.  Last year, the same process worked (though it still required Quicken support to issue a new code).

    Has the previous one already expired and the bonus space dropped off your account?

    I got the new code from Quicken support, and have done this annually for the last several years, but now I get the dropbox error message "You have already claimed a code of this type".  Quicken support did not know what to do about this except to contact Dropbox.  Any suggestions?  Does Dropbox have a limit on the number of codes that can be redeemed?

    You need to contact Quicken Support. Only they can reissue a new code. This has been a common issue with Quicken-issued codes over the years.

    I also am having this same issue .  The code from Quicken noted the "code was already used" when in fact it has not been used. Quicken Helpdesk told me to contact DropBox but that is impossible as the chatbot is basically useless for this issue and there is no-one at DropBox to talk to!!??  How can I go about getting the new Quicken Code from DropBox to add the free 5GB of storage?

    Thanks for posting on our forum, Jeff H. 
     
    Did you follow all of the steps provided on this page
     
    What happened exactly when you tried to redeem your Quicken promotion the first time? Did you receive any kind of errors and then, you tried to redeem it again? 
     
    Give me a nudge when you have more details.
