Hi,
What are my options if I missed the data transfer deadline of oculus to Meta?
My partner had an oculus account but we hadn't logged in for about a year since we were working in East Africa.
Yesterday, when we tried to log into the oculus account, it doesn't exist anymore.
Then we created a meta account using the same email address. But, the VR headset doesn't recognize the account. We have an Oculus Quest VR headset.
What are our options at this point? Please help! We're now back in Germany and would really like to get back to using our headset.

I believe your old account is gone and can no longer be recovered. Meta have been warning about this for a long time. Hoever, I've heard that if you log a support call and can prove ownership, support can provide a redemption code to assign your owned games to your new account.

Hello @Claraque! Thank you so much for reaching out to us! We understand that you missed the timeframe to migrate your Oculus account. Being locked out of your favorite games is never fun, so we'd like to try to help out!
Being a legacy Oculus user, you should have received an email to the original account email address with a coupon code for your account redemption.
We would strongly suggest locating that email as we can not replicate the coupon if lost, after locating the coupon you would be able to redeem it through your Meta account to gain access to all apps and games you have had purchased in the past. Please let us know if that worked for you, in the meantime if you have any other questions or concerns then let us know!

Hi, I have the same problem as Claraque.
I have all emails saved, what date and subject can I search for?
Do you know the subject of the email with the coupon code in Swedish?
Thanks for helping out

I have now found the code, and I think I manage to redeemed.

Hi , I have the same problem. Reached out to support through email but no reply.
I have also searched through emails, but cannot find anything that has a coupon code in it.
Please can you help.
Regards
Dave

Hey there, @Claraque! We want to thank you for bringing this to our attention. We would like to inform you that we did send out an email regarding the conversion from Oculus to Meta Quest; however, if you did miss the deadline, that is okay. You will still be able to convert your account over to Meta Quest, but we would like to let you know that any games that were purchased with your Oculus account will not be transferred over to your Meta Quest account. You will no longer have access to those purchased games, and there is no way to undo this action.

Hey you, are you there? @Claraque! We haven't heard anything from you, and we hope you are doing well. If you are still in need of assistance, don't hesitate to reach out to us!
