My "Great" Experience with EA customer support

Hello, this is my first time making a post, and I just wanted to describe my experience with EA customer support.

So I foolishly decided to buy a few Apex Coin Packs (2 to be exact), but the coins never reached my account. I was a bit annoyed, but as stated on the site, I tried relogging, rebooting the PC, and in the end, waiting a day. All of that was useless, so in the end I had to make a customer support ticket (with proof of purchase as stated on the site), which in itself is not an easy thing to do as it is locked by multiple tutorials on how to solve the problem in other ways (which I have all tried on my first day with this issue). After creating a ticket and waiting for a few days for the customer support rep to get back to me, I went to check the tickets and was shocked to see that the ticket had been closed as "fixed." I tried logging in to see if I had my coins, but nothing. So I reopened the ticket and asked them politely to contact me if my information was insufficient or if I did something wrong (I asked them to contact me in every message that I made and every email). Today I saw again that my ticket has been closed and that there is an email in my inbox asking if the issue is solved, if not, reply to the email and reopen the ticket. "Finally",- I think, I can write an email, but the address that they asked me to write the email for is not supported anymore, so I'm back to square 1. As I said, I don't write posts for anything, but this experience has been the worst one I've had as a customer ever.

For the screenshots, check the time when i wrote the reply and when the automated message that the email is not supported was delivered.

    Hey @chevyant,

    Thanks for the post, though I'm sorry to hear you haven't had the best experience getting the coins in the first place or getting through to support that can clear this up for you.

    It sounds like you had included this proof of purchase information with your initial case, which would be everything you needed to provide on your end. If you're still missing the coins we'll need to have our support take another look at this.

    I'm afraid we are not able to make any changes to your account via the forums, so for this you'd need to create a new case to have another advisor take a look.

    In addition to that, please feel free to visit your case history page here. You should be able to provide feedback about your prior cases there, which will go directly to the supervisor of whichever advisor(s) had reviewed that case previously.

    Hello, thank you for answering so fast, i did try creating a new case and putting in all the same info in it in hopes that i will get to another person with this issue, but the experience was the exact same as with my first case, aka it was closed as fixed (by now  a 2nd time) and nothing in my issue changed. Can you please tell me if there is any way to get into a chat with a customer support person, as it was possible a few years ago?

    Hi @chevyant,

    Sorry to hear the new one has also been closed. I'll pass the feedback along, though when it comes to having the case addressed this will continue to be something support needs to correct.

    The available contact channels may change depending on your location, time, and the specific option you select when creating a case.

    If you were selecting the option for Missing Content that would be the right category, so beyond that I'm afraid the only recommendation I have at the moment would be to resume your case or create a new one until you receive a reply.
