Bought Apex Coins and didn't receive them

Hey, @Virji24 

Sounds frustrating what you're going through if you have to keep constantly contacting Support for your purchases. Even though it's a purchase for our game, the transaction goes through the PlayStation store for the payment method you have under your PlayStation account. Have you reached out to PlayStation Support at all to see if they're aware of anything impacting your account from that side? There are region locks for content, so if you made the purchase while accidentally on a VPN, you can be charged but the content won't show up.

Like I have told support before I have contacted Sony multiple times about this.  On their side it is showing the purchase going through and the coins going through.  There is just something wrong with my account.  The reason I know this is true is because everything I purchase that isn't Apex Legends related I get.  For example I have bought stuff from Fortnite, and received it.  I have bought stuff for NBA 2k20 and received it.  Everything else works EXCEPT for Apex Legends related stuff.  Every time I buy coins I don't get them.  I've had to go to support to finally receive them but this time, even though I proved that I made the purchase, they refused to give me my coins and said this is a known problem with other people as well.  Well I have not seen anyone else have this happen to their account.  All I want to do is support the game and buy things in game and I'm not able to do that.  Now I've basically had 20 dollars taken from me by EA because they won't give me my coins that I bought and Sony won't give me a refund.  This is 100% a EA problem that has to do with my Apex Legends account.  EVERYTHING else works.  But EA continues to lie to me and this time it seems like EA is ok with stealing from me as well.  

What can be done about this?  There is obviously something wrong with my account because I can't even download the free ps plus skins.  I'm not sure what happened to my account but ever since they deleted all my progress because I was trying to sync my ps account to my EA account I have had this problem.  Yet EA wants to point the finger elsewhere even though I have proven that it is not a Sony problem but an EA problem.

Can someone please just help me? I just want my coins that I paid for, and to have my account fixed.  I literally WANT to give EA my money and they are making it impossible.  This will be the last time I spend money on this game if I'm not given the coins that I paid for.  Even if they do I don't know why I would spend more money if I'm going to have to go through this again and be treated like crap by EA chat support. Is this really how you treat your customers?  Is stealing from me really a good business practice?  Previously when this happened I proved it to support and they gave me my coins.  Sure it was annoying to have to wait 24 hours and then wait another hour while proving my purchase to chat to get my coins but at least I got them.

This is getting beyond frustrating and I'm honestly tired of EA trying to blame Sony for something that is obviously a problem on their end.

Our Support teams will grant Apex Coins that don't appear on accounts, however there can sometimes be a delay in the coins reaching the accounts or with unexpected service disruptions from either EA or Xbox Live/PlayStation there might be times they'll ask you to wait until those services are restored. The reasoning is that the coins are still on their way to being delivered on the account and our intervention won't be necessary yet. 

If they still haven't shown up for you after 24 hours, please contact an EA Advisor immediately. It's upsetting to hear how this continues to happen for you and recommend raising this up again to the EA Advisor so they can have a specialist look into this further to see if it's indeed account specific.

First of all thank you for responding and helping.  As far as contacting support.  I did wait 24 hours to make sure the coins didn't get there and when they didn't I contacted support.  They told me that they wouldn't give me my coins.  I will try again and see what happens and keep you updated.

As far as this being account specific, I know it is.  My wife has an account on my playstation and has no problem with buying coins from the store and also for redeeming things from the PS store that are Apex related.  When I've brought this up to chat support and even asked for it to be looked at by a specialist I have been told the same thing every time.  They tell me there is nothing wrong with my account, and that next time I buy coins that I will receive them.  I tell them that this is not going to be the case and they continually tell me that it is a time thing and that after 24 hours the coins will be in my account, even though they never are. 

The last person told me that I needed to make a post here on these forums.  I did and never even got a response.  There is obviously something wrong with my account and support doesn't seem like they want to help me.  They just keep telling me that my account is fine and yet I keep buying coins and not receiving them.  Is there any other way to get this figured out besides dealing with chat support?  They are usually not helpful, and often times just lie to me to get me to be done chatting.  

The thing that really sucks is I've put  A LOT of time and money into this game.  A few months ago I was trying to sync my EA account to my PS account to get my Twitch Prime rewards.  When they did that they deleted ALL my progress.  So basically all the skins I had bought and earned were taken away from me.  They left me with nothing.  When I asked why this happened they told me I agreed to it, which I do not remember doing so and also they never proved to me that I did even though they said they had proof.  Either way that was 100's of hours worth of grinding taken away from me not to mention all the money I had spent on the game on skins and Apex Packs (at least 300 dollars since the start of the game.)

I want to continue to support this game because it is one of my all time favorite games ever but things like this make me not want to.  In fact I wanted to buy the physical edition of the game to get the skins but with everything happening with my account I'm almost certain I would not receive the items and I am almost certain that support would just tell me there was nothing they could do.  I even had to eat 30 dollars worth of Apex Coins that I bought through Best Buy that also did not come through.  Support said I had to talk to Best Buy about it even though it showed that the coins went through but I never actually received them.

I am beyond frustrated and just want my account fixed and to be given the coins that I have purchased.  I will try once again today to talk to support about the coins I bought on 11/2 and did not receive.  Again I will keep you updated on what they say. 

Thank you

I just got off chat with support and while they did give me my coins I purchased, they did not do anything to fix the actual problem that is going on.  They once again tried to blame it on Sony.  Which I proved wasn't the case.  If this was a PSN/Sony issue it would be occurring with all games, not just Apex.  Like I have said before, I am able to purchase and get anything that isn't Apex Legends related.  Anything and everything else works. The ONLY thing that doesn't is Apex Legends related things.  These are the things I have tried to purchase:

Apex Coins from the store - DID NOT RECEIVE

Apex coins from a Code bought from Best Buy - DID NOT RECEIVE

PS Plus FREE skins for Apex - DID NOT RECEIVE (In fact, when I click on this one it doesn't even do anything.  I click download and it flickers and nothing happens.)  

For reference I have been able to get things that are for other games.  For example I could NOT purchase the Free PS Plus skins for Apex but COULD purchase the PS Plus skins for Fortnite. Obviously this is something that is on the EA side of things.  I just want someone to help me fix it and when I asked for support to have a specialist help me they continually told me there is nothing wrong with my account.  If that were true then why would I be able to purchase everything else that isn't Apex Legends related and not be able to purchase the stuff that's Apex Legends related?

Please please please tell me there is a way for you to help me with this and actually get this looked at instead of just continually telling me my account is fine and that it is a Sony problem?  PLEASE!  I just want to spend money on this game and it is becoming very difficult. Should I just switch back to Fortnite?

Was a persona transfer ever performed in the past on your account? I'm afraid there is not much we can do from our end and this will require the assistance of our Support staff so they can pull up your account. Did you request for a specialist to look at your account and do you know if your purchases work if you make them through the PlayStation store online/web or from a different console?

Funny how I've been waiting almost a week to get some form of a response. I bought the blood hound pack and I bought 2,150 coins. About $50+ And I recieved nothing. This game is nothing but a joke. I want it fixed or my money back. Because it seems like a lot of people are having this issue. But you guys have no problem taking our money right? Fix it or I'll see you in court 

haha Funny u been waiting a week, I waiting since 04/11/2020 !!! still missing 226000 coins !!! @DanjoWithABanjo
