Missing gift

So last week I used meta cash to purchase Batman Arkham shadow as a gift for my child (on his headset as he was the primary user). Prior to purchasing it I had unblocked it and allowed the app to be used under parental controls. The purchase was made and I received a receipt by email with an order number.  However my son never received the app or even a notification that a gift was sent, as well I don’t have access to cancel or ask for a refund for the purchase. Under Manage gift it will only allow me to view the product details and doesn’t say “sent” or “pending”. After spending hours going around in circles the meta help AI says that the device is not supported?  Is there anyway to help me resolve this issue or do I need to wait 30 days for the gift to go unclaimed in order to get a refund? Any assistance is appreciated.

    Batman Arkham Shadow is rated, Strong Violence and is a PEGI 16. If your child is under 16 on his child account, he or she is likely blocked from downloading the game. It could be an error as you allowed it to be used. Check the account permissions again just to sure the permission steps were completed and if so contact support. Just in case first check your childs Horizon app for manage gifts and redeem store code if you got one. Good luck! 

     

  • Hi Danielroberts514​ 🙂

    Normally, your son should receive an email with a code which he must redeem.

    I'm don't know, how this works for child accounts without an email address? Will the code perhaps sent to your email address?

    If you can't find a mail with a code reach out to support via email, chat or WhatsApp HERE

    Maybe they can help, but probably you have to wait the 30 days to get the money back.
