Referral system broken. Meta support is ghosting me.

Hi all,

Hopefully someone can help me out here.  I bought a Quest 3 for my kids for Christmas.  I was given a referral link to use, and the instructions for it from the Meta site.  I went to the link, which told me to create an account.  I created an account then tried the link and it says "Referral link unavailable.   The link may be invalid, incorrect or expired. Please wait and try again."  I opened a Meta support ticket before activating the unit.

They asked a bunch of basic questions (username, what the link was, which countries the referrer and I are in, etc) and told me to activate the Quest 3.  About 10 emails back and forth in total.  Still no sign of the money on either account.  Then I went back to Meta support and they started asking me the same questions which had already been answered in the ticket.  I then asked them to escalate the ticket as it had been a number of days without a resolution.  Now they are ghosting me.

I tried opening another ticket, referring to the first, and still nothing.  I found two phone numbers online for Meta support and both are out of service.

Where do I go from here???

I'm having a similar experience.  I've been working with Meta Support on getting my account with all of my Quest app purchases to be migrated to Oculus/Meta.  It's gone from several chat sessions to email where I'm being re-escalated.  After the most recent escalation (from Ann to Joy), I'm not receiving responses to any of my emails requesting status or ETA.  So my question is, what is the ETA on these types of issues.  In the meantime, I'm simply not able to use my Quest 2, so it's very frustrating having another week go by without any movement or direction.  Thanks.
