Couldn't start trial due to "technical error", after trying to claim Seagate promotion

[hekate]

Hello, I have recently bought a seagate external storage that included a 180 day Dropbox Backup Plan. However, whenever I try to follow the steps to start the trial to upgrade my account, after putting all of my payment method information, I get immediately redirected to the dropbox home page with a red message at the top of saying "Couldn't start trial due to technical error". I've tried doing it on different browsers, looked online for help but cannot find anything, and since technically my account is still on a "basic plan", there is no way for me to contact support. If I could get any help it would be greatly appreciated, Thank You

Thanks for posting this on our forum, @hekate! 

Can you send me a full screenshot of the error you mention? 

I’d like to have a visual and further assist.

Hi Nancy,

I'm also having this exact issue. I've entered my credit card details multiple times but comes back with technical error? I live in New Zealand so i don't think we are a banned country.

Hi @AK351, happy Monday! 

In order for our specialized agents to have a closer look into this, I sent you an email.

I did this, since this would require some account-specific info on our end. 

I'll be happy to see you there!

Hey @Teri L.1 - sorry to jump in here, but could you try claiming the promotion through a different browser and let us know how it goes?

Hi @Teri L.1, in this case can I send you an email in order to have a closer look into this? 

We might need to escalate your case to our advanced agents that's why I'm suggesting it.
