Referred App keeps showing Invalid Link

I'm currently having a problem on any app referral links. It keeps showing me an Invalid Link page regardless of who send me a referral link. I've already tried unlinking my Meta account out of my Facebook account and have tried using private/incognito browser to accept the referral link. Unfortunately, they still gives me Invalid Link page.

Hi, my friend has send me a few game Referral links for 25% off but every time I click the link it says your friend has recommended the following game instead of a 25% discount. It seems it doesnt work. Is there something I'm missing? Thanks

Extremely frustrating. I have my headset since yesterday and wanted to buy a bunch of discounted games to kick off my VR experience but I also keep getting the invalid link error. I hope this can be fixed ASAP 😕 

Hi, @mmdyan! We love to hear that you and friends want to share Meta apps in the community. For success, reference how App Referrals on Meta Quest work first and then review the programs rules below:

  • Starting March 11, 2024, each app referral code can only be redeemed up to three times.
  • Users can only send a referral for the apps they already own.
  • Apps need to be of a minimum price of $10 USD or the local equivalent to qualify for referrals.
  • Senders will be able to redeem the store credit 14 days after their friend buys the app using their referral.
  • The person receiving the referral will have 7 days to purchase the App. If they choose not to buy the App immediately, they can go back to the App in the Meta Quest Store within 7 days and the Discount will be automatically applied.
  • Users can earn a maximum of $599 in store credits per year from the referral programs. This limit applies to rewards earned through both the Meta Quest Referral Program and App referrals combined.
  • Senders will not be eligible to receive the Credit if the referred App is refunded within 14 days of sending the referral to the Friend.
  • Add-ons, extensions, and in-app purchases are not eligible to the app referral program.
  • Apps pertaining to the Meta Quest+ catalog are not eligible to the app referral program.
  • Newly released apps may not be eligible for the App Referral program

Note: App referrals cannot be combined with any other offer or promotion unless otherwise expressly stated in the terms of an offer. The app referral discount cannot be applied to an app that is currently discounted, regardless of which discount is better. Are all parties in supported countries/regions and the recipient attempts purchase within 7 days?
