Unsupported country or region

[Sinisa Zec]

Hi everyone, 

So, this morning I got a notification on my Adobe Stock contributor account: "Congratulations! Click here to choose and redeem your Creative Cloud app.[Read This First]". 

When I click on the link a new window opens up with the redeem code, but when I click on "redeem" I get the error "This code is from a country or region that does not match your Adobe ID. "

Now I know that my country is not supported by Adobe (Bosnia & Herzegovina), but is there any way to successfully use this code? I have tried contacting the support but they were not helpful. Thanks

Same issue hee

When I want to renew the code I get this message :This code is from a country or region that does not match your Adobe ID.
Last year everything went well.

What support did you contact? Adobe customer support., as indicated? Or Adobe contributor support?

I would try contributor support, as they have issued the codes.

Redemption codes are geo-localised and can indeed only be redeemed for the region they have been created for.  I don't know of any possibility to circumvent this.

[Sinisa Zec]

I have contacted both and sent them an email (still waiting for a response) but they were not helpful at all. I understand that they are geo-localized, but why send me the code in the first place if I can't use it? And why Adobe doesn't support some countries anway?

Hello,

I am having same problem here. Last year code was working and now it does not. I tried with chat bot and human support several times, no help. Any suggestions ?

You can forget the bot, did you get a human on the support line? If not, type “Agent” after the initial two or three questions. I would guess, however, that you need to contact Contributor Support too. I'm sure that customer support can say only that the code does not meet your region. Need help? (Stock Contributor Support)

I had 3 humans, all of them transfered me to another support and no one answered later.

I wrote to support as an email to adobestock, lady just gave me links to some pages which are not helpful. And also she wrote me to ask for chat support even If I told her I did that already..

[DailyLifeImages]

Same. Customer support agents are leaving the chat.

as soon as I tell them my issue.

[Abambo]

Recontact. Did you get a case number? And ask your transcript.

[m-gucci]

Yes, my Adobe stock contributor ID is also in Serbia. 3 times with human chat and a support from Adobe stock, not resolved. 

[DailyLifeImages]

Did 3 times. They left saying that the will connect me with an expert. But htere's no expert abailable.

Hello, I don't know why I am getting this error "This code is from a country or region that does not match your Adobe ID"
It's not the first time I've received a bonus code (redeem), and today when I tried to activate it, it won't.
I activated the code in 2022 and 2023 but now I can't
I don't use any other profile or computer for adobe. I have only one single account and one computer where I use photostop. I live in Serbia and I don't know why this can't be activated. Can anyone help? Thank you.

I recently did contact with contributor support for the same reason. Waiting for their Replay. WIll Update if they will message.

[DexonDee25]

Please, if you get an answer, let me know! Thank you.

From whom did you get the redemption code? 

[Jill_C]

I'm sure he's referring to the 2023 Stock Contributor Bonus that was announced earlier today.

[DexonDee25]

I got it from Adobe stock.
When I log in to the site, I received a notification that I have a redeem code and I wanted to activate it again (this is the third time I have received the code) and I cannot activate it because it gives me this error (The mistake I mentioned above)

I talked to some photographers in Serbia and they say that they activated their codes without any problems. My question then is, why can't I activate it?

Yes, same problem, I am from Serbia and got a code as usual for my contributing to Adobe stock.. This is first time I cannot redeem it because of region / country.

Just to confirm: Your Adobe ID is also in Serbia?

[m-gucci]

Yes, my Adobe stock contributor ID is also in Serbia.

[Sinisa Zec]

Same, here, only I'm located in Bosnia. Contacted them via email. Will update you if I get any info. Please share if you find solution for this issue. Thank you!

[Abambo]

Contacted them via email.

My case is closed via contributor ticket but I did not solve the problem..
