The Athletic offer

[noopjay]

Hi there,

I've received this offer (below), but there's no actual way of redeeming this. It shows up on my BT homepage without any 'red button' (or any button in fact) to actually do anything about it.

I see several people on twitter are bamboozled as well. 

Anyone here know how to activate this?

Cheers

I clicked on the red 'reveal your code' button and it revealed a code and then a 'Use Now' option.

I did that and the subscription is now up and running.

Ensure ad-blockers etc. are disabled.

What happens after you click Use Now? Does that start a registration process? We’ve got the offer sitting in our account now.

Hi, I clicked through the offer in MyBT. Signed up with a Google email registering Apple Pay. No acknowledgement of subscription other than offering 7 days free trial. Then started receiving same duplicate emails from The Athletic on the Google email and the Apple Pay email. Total farce. Cancelled and deleted.

Hi @noopjay, sorry you are having a problem taking up the offer. Can you clear your cookies and cache and try again and also have you tried using a different browser?

I tried and got the same as @noopjay  'no reveal code'  then disabled adblocker but still nothing.  then deleted history and cookies for last 7 days still nothing  I have managed my cookies to just essential but after removing just essential and accepting all cookies the offer code was then available

Hi @imjolly, thanks for your efforts on this and hopefully this helps @noopjay  get his order placed.

cheers

Hi there,

I have tried this; even deleting all cookies and history 'from all time'. 

This still hasn't worked. I don't get any red button offer.

Thanks

I tried deleting cookies but that did not work  I had to go to manage cookies and then accept all and then restart browser and it worked then - was using chrome
