So I got the pop-up for the free Fantastic 4 comic in the MPQ app, tapped it and went straight to the “redeem” page, where I entered the code for the free F4 comic. It seemed to enter just fine (I’m not sure if I should mention the code here or if it matters) but it took me a while to figure out that I had to go to the “Comics Shop” and then I could (in theory) access the free comic. I only saw 3 comics (none of which was F4) in that interface, and there’s verbiage on the page about seeing my “full library” from the comics app. I download the comics app, login, and I see the same 3 comics, no F4 comic. I go back to the website, try to enter the code again and I get an error about the redemption code.
So… how exactly can I actually get/read this free F4 comic being promoted in the MPQ app?
When you entered the code, it brings up the comic plus a description. There’s a button that says “Continue”. Did you click that? Because you need to to confirm activation of that comic on your account.
Since it’s not a unique code it’s very likely you can just try again and redeem it on your account =)
Tried again using the button helpfully pointed out by spidyjedi84; entered the code, tapped Redeem, scrolled down and tapped Continue; nothing. Doesn’t show up in the comics app, and tapping Continue again shows a brief loading indicator in the address bar, then nothing.
What gives? I’m using an iOS device that’s up to date.
Yes, you must have an insider account.
I’ve found it worth having since I get a digital backup of all my comics (minus a section where Marvel thought they were being clever by giving you 2 unaffiliated comics instead of a backup of the one you bought)
Wait, maybe that’s what I’m thinking of. Actually yeah it must be because I can’t join Insider because I’m not a Us citizen…dunno what I was thinking of.
