do we get the mailing pet if we are already signed up for marketing emails?

Ode2Order

A nobrainer probably, but to make sure since I didn't see it mentioned in the article?

JeroenB

Good question, especially as the eligibility window ends on the 21st, but the codes won't be emailed until the 25th (according to the in-game text), so it would be too late to act then.

Lugaldu

What mailing pet?

JeroenB

See launcher message: "Opt In to The Elder Scrolls Online's Mailers & You'll Receive This Free Pet", the Infernium Dwarven Spiderling pet.

I've already got it, so it must have been given out before. Check your Collections to see if you've already got it:

- Collections
- Non-Combat Pets
- Exotic
- Infernium Dwarven Spiderling

If you don't have it yet, this is your chance to get it.

As to your specific question, I'm not sure. I suppose you could try opting out of mail, wait a few days, then opt back in before the promotion ends-- but I don't know if that would be frowned upon as some sort of exploit, so you might not want to risk it.

I've got it too, I think it was at least a couple of years back.

Haha! Booted from server!

Log in to my account, go to Marketing Preferences, tick the "I WOULD LIKE TO RECEIVE NEWS ABOUT NEW EVENTS AND PROMOTIONS" box, click on Save...

Nothing appears to happen, so I click on "Account Summary" to see if it was updated... only to be told I need to log in to access the page

I just did it, you get an email for you to confirm the update to your marketing preferences. It doesn't show until you have done that

Thanks, I just noticed about 10 emails from Bethesda... though there was nothing to say that they needed confirmation from email or that they'd log you out.

Doesn't mention logging out, just the confirming part

I didn't even think of looking before signing up. It didn't dawn on me that this might be another repeat. I guess I can go turn marketing emails back off though they go straight to junk anyway.

im pretty sure i have marketing emails on and virtually never get them lol

Haenk

Funny thing is, I just can not set that option; selecting and saving - and it's unselected again.
However I *can* set the second option and allow them to ggive away and sell my email to whomever they want.

(site in German)

What gives?

Edit before posting: You'll receive an email once you selected and saved the option - click on the link and *then* the option is activated. Yeah, got a bunch of emails now

mariliaribas

I already had marketing preferences on and didn't receive anything. I tried unchecking the boxed and checking again and nothing. Anybody having the same issue?

Wolfkeks

Maybe @ZOS_Kevin knows how you can get the pet if you alteady opted in?

Same here. I just checked, and I already had the marketing emails turned on, just in case I got something interesting, and I can't recall the last time I actually got one. I also, unfortunately, don't have that particular pet. Now, I could try turning marketing emails off then on again, but given ZOS' recent approach to exploits (even accidental ones), I quite frankly don't have the guts to try that.

If it's like past promotions the codes for the pet won't be sent out until shortly after the end of the sign-up period (which is 21st August) so you won't get anything right away.

FeedbackOnly

Isn't that the old one?

HedgeHugger

I already have the pet.
I've obviously signed up to the emails in the past as I get the very occasional ESO mail.
Today I had an email with a code in it for the spider.
Can I use the code on one of my other accounts?

JeroenB

I can also confirm receipt of the code via email today, and applying it to my account successfully adds it in-game.

As I did not have this pet before, I cannot answer the question on applying the code to another account.

^^^ This says the codes won't be emailed until the 25th, although at least one person said they got their code already.

So if you've just turned on the preferences, be patient for another week or two.

If you don't get it by the 25th, you could contact support and tell them what's going on, then someone can check on it for you.

If you've had the preferences turned on since long before the offer but didn't get the pet during a previous offer, you can turn off the preferences for a week or so, then turn it back on before the 21st.

If you're worried about whether or not that would be considered an exploit for some reason, contact support now (don't drag your feet) and explain your question. Who knows, maybe they'll see that your marketing preferences are on and send you the code without you needing to turn it off and on again?

I also just got the email with the pet redeem code in it, even though I've had marketing emails enabled and never changed that setting.

That's good to know! Maybe they're checking whoever has it enabled regardless of when it was enabled, checking to see if they sent a code to that email previously, and sending it now if they hadn't done so before. Should be easy to program.

Danikat

I already had emails enabled, didn't change my settings at all since the promotion started and I got a code for the pet today.

I'm not sure what to do with it though because I also already have the pet from some other promotion. My first thought was to offer it to other people, but of course anyone with an ESO account can get their own and it's useless if you don't have one, so now I'm not sure.

SeaGtGruff

Huh, I just checked my email and I also got the code earlier today even though I've already got the pet. They must be sending the code to everyone who has marketing emails enabled without bothering to check whether it had been sent on a previous occasion-- which is actually nice, since getting the code again doesn't hurt anything and could help if the previously-sent code had gotten lost or whatever.

It also makes it much simpler for them, especially since the requirement to qualify is to have marketing emails enabled. They can just send the codes out as a marketing email, using the same mailing list. Excluding people who already have the pet would require extracting that data from the game and then filtering the list to exclude those accounts. (Which I'm sure they can do, but why go to the extra effort when duplicate codes don't do any harm?)

Dysturbed

Got my code and pet already

DragonRacer

Chalk me up as another person who got this pet forever ago when this promotion ran the last time, so I’ve been signed up for the marketing emails for years now.

And just got a code in my email tonight.

@ZOS_Kevin - are we able to and/or allowed to gift these codes to friends if we already have this pet?

ZOS_Hadeostry

Greetings,

After further review we have decided to move this thread to a category we think is more appropriate for this topic, as it's asking the community an inquiry.

Thank you for your understanding

DragonRacer

*sigh* Good ol' Players Helping Players.

Glad I tagged you, Kevin, maybe you will see this later today. LOL
