Hi,
I have been trying to open an EE account for the last few days as my workplace is part of the EE discount scheme.
I registered perfectly fine and easy enough using my work email address which instantly verified me, generated a code all seemed good for the 20% discount.
Fast forward spending a few hours selecting a plan, have all the details setup click the enter code box the first time it just refreshes the page and nothing changes, the pricing is still the same and the second time I enter it then it says my code is invalid.
By this time the perk portal has logged me out when I go to check again so I go to logon and it tells me my password is invalid when I enter it the same as when I registered so then I tried to reset my password, which I tried a few times but it never sends me the password reset email and yes I did check junk and spam.
At this point I lost hope and contacted the live chat, where I had to wait over an hour for reply but to be honest that ended up being a waste of time and not much help anyway.
So then I booked an appointment in store today for 10:30am when I turned up it seemed like they wasn’t expecting anyone to be there and hadn’t seen or read the message I left online about my issues. I was there for less then 5 minutes as they also seemed clueless and told me the 20% discount is only for blue light and NHS which is not true going off of the EE Perk info available on the website and it states can be used in store on the phone or website.
Following on from this, I then called EE customer service from my existing phone but they were not able to help with the issue either which took about another half an hour of my time.
So now I am stuck and posting here in a desperate last ditch effort, is there any agents on here that can help? I’m not going to join the network if I can’t get the discount I am supposedly entitled to.

Hello @Ragnarok96.
Thanks for coming here.
I am sorry to hear what has happened when trying to join the network using the EE Perk discount scheme. I would really love to help get this resolved for you.
Do you currently have your discount code?
Is this why you have been trying to log back in?
Speak soon,
Katie

I did have one but at first it didn’t work and then said it was invalid on 2nd attempt on online basket as mentioned above.
and yes I was trying to log back in to see the status of the code and or generate a new one, but so far this is just a frustrating experience.

I have sent you a private message for more details.
Speak soon,

Hi and welcome to the community, @Mickbarts
The EE Perk is for customers registering for a discount through their place of work. Is that what you're looking to do?
Is the Xbox membership part of your inclusive benefits of your plan?

I'm just a bit confused about why not being able to access your Perk Portal (for discounts) would stop you from being able to register for Xbox live, @Mickbarts.
It may be worth speaking with our technical support team so they can help you with both of these things.

Hi @Mickbarts.
Perk is registered using this portal HERE and is for members who work for a registered company who are eligible for a 20% discount off their bill.
Have you successfully registered this?
If you are unable to access your Xbox membership please contact our technical care team on 150 who will be able to help get you access.
Katie.
