Same here. Invited befriend. They reached lv5 and no rewards. Also when they fix the issue will we still get the VIP rewards? As the players are now previously registered? What will happen?
The same thing happened to me - funnily enough it worked the first time with my brother, but not the second time with my wife. Exact same procedure, all iphones. Weird. All accounts are now in their 20s in terms of levels, so plenty of time for it all to go through. Didn’t feel important enough to go through the pain of a support ticket.
Shame now that they extended the invite rewards, but I still don’t consider 100 gems and a few days of VIP worth the trouble arguing and providing evidence to customer support.
I sent invites to a number of friends, but got a reward for the first level, but the snag is I don’t know whom amongst the friends honored the invite and there is no apparent way of finding out without going round to ask each one.
Therefore, I suppose the friend invites should be tweak a little so we can know at least who honored the invite.
I have succesfully invited 3 friends in the past. I know how to do it and did it accordingly.
Why would I report a bug if it would have worked as in the past?
Just received confirmation from developers, there is currently a known issue with friend invites in the new update (version 21). We are investigating this here and hope to fix the issue as soon as possible. My apologies for the inconvenience!
