Hat tip to reader Joel
Does anyone know $50 or $20 now?
I did it on P2’s account on 4/30 for $50.
Did it on 5/19 and received $20 code on 5/24.
So, I don’t use Instagram and had to make an account, and now I’m having problems with posting the vaccine sticker selfie. I managed to post it with the hashtag, but wasn’t able to tag “@JoinDrop” because it kept saying “restricted activity”. I had my friend check the hashtag feed and it did show up. Made a ticket with Drop, but I’m guessing I’m not getting shit.
Edit: Tried again a few times, finally let me tag them. Hopefully the post is still showing up.
Anyone have more recent DPs? (did mine a bit ago and got the code within a day) P2 posted a public pic w/ the hashtag and also tagged the photo w/ “dropcovid” on Tuesday morning, still no DMs from them after 2 days. Will try having them download drop and opening a ticket.
update for those interested: P2 downloaded app and opened a ticket through it with the link to the insta post. They finally gave her the code like 8 days later
Posted last night (4/16) around 11 pm pst. Got the code this morning around 9 am pst. Still $50 👍
After 4 days and no code on instagram, I reach out to drop. I included my instagram picture in the e-mail. They confirmed I met all the requirements and let me know their social media team would be reaching out on instagram with a code. And they did. Had to accept chat request from them, but the code was there. Redeemed for 50k with no other issues.
Can someone tell me what is geotag? How do i get it? Thanks
I think I just enabled location on the post itself.
I posted just my sticker to my instagram this morning and Drop sent me my $50 code this evening.
Looking at their rewards, looks like they’re starting at $75. Is anyone else seeing that? I was looking forward to claiming the $50 today.
Either grandfathered, or maybe just after you use the Drop account more and earn points through linked card purchases, the minimum for Amazon is $50. Chilis and Olive Garden at $25.
scurry126 Did you just post the “Vaccinated for COVID-19” sticker or a similar sticker without your picture getting the vaccine and still got the $50 code?
Yes. I just took a picture of the sticker on my desk without my face. Got the $50 code later that evening. I wasn’t interested in sharing my face to some random companies.
Thanks!
Did Instagram post this morning (4/10 11AM Eastern)… now waiting. Any DP’s out there, other than complaints? Thanks.
I got the code to redeem the points within like 12 Hrs. But that was near the beginning on the promotion.
Yeah… I saw your DP. I assume they aren’t working the weekend, but if I don’t get something soon. I will reach out to them.
I received DM from Drop last night with code for $50.
When did you submit your post?
I originally posted the pic on Wednesday but when I was looking into why I didn’t get anything from drop, I realized that I did not include the @joindrop in my post. Added that to my post yesterday and received the code within a few hours.
I ended up submitting a Drop ticket, and messaging @joindrop. Finally paid out. Got $50.
P2 received a code that had already been redeemed. Created a ticker with Drop by email and also DM on Ins, four days no response.
Anyone getting this while redeeming the points – “There was error processing your redemption. Please try again later”?? I am trying to redeem with $50 amazon gc but it is giving me this error over n over. TIA.
getting this error today with the $50 amazon. Drop is pretty bad….
