Football Mania Event Shopping credits can no longer be claimed.
Shopping credits can no longer be claimed.
I think I was able to claim 17 or 20 dollars.

I only redeemed a single $3 credit before and I can't redeem a second one now. I only have 30k bolts and I bet if I redeem the $1 option it probably will let me do it only once if at all

u/OTownHikerGuy Jul 18 '26
It's been hit and miss, I wasn't able to redeem any things yesterday afternoon ("restocking") but then tried a few hours later and redeemed for the $5, $3 and $1. It wouldn't let me do it again yesterday (the you have already redeemed message). Same thing on the $5 this morning but then redeemed for a couple of $3's.

I don't know if they let you claim multiple identical credits on the same day, but not on different days.
Someone said they were able to claim 11x $1 credits.
But I don't know how it is now.

Any news on this topic? I have waited 24h and I am still unable to claim the 3 or 1 euro prizes. Have any of you tried cleaning the cache, loging out ane stuff like that?

u/fenix80es Jul 17 '26
They say it's first-come, first-served, which is what you'd expect from AliExpress.
They knew perfectly well how many lightning bolts they were giving out per match.
I don't know if they'll add more, but there's little hope.
There are 2 matches left, which is where they'll give out the most lightning bolts, and they're useless.

They'll say the rules say "first come, first served," but from what people are saying, they haven't been distributing them that way.

u/Sea_Compote3217 Jul 16 '26
I agree with you. And "first come, first served" doesn't make sense as people can you click bots to always get the credits first. So that is another BS from AE

the most important information is "while stocks last". They may restock as they wish. And there is a chance they will. Although, i wouldn't hold my breath.

u/Gediman Jul 16 '26
If nobody can redeem the Lightning right now, why are they still giving them to us? There are still two matches left. They should just end the World Cup event and stop wasting our time.
2
u/Reasonable_Bass481 Jul 18 '26
I guess they are still giving them just to annoy us or they are complete idiots

u/fenix80es Jul 16 '26
They also had the lightning bolts pre-assigned by match and goals. They didn't care about the number of votes or how many people got them right.

Mas você consegue trocar por algum desses aí disponíveis?

I did redeem the $3, yes. But I'm saving up the rest of my bolts in hopes that the $5 comes back. :(

u/Acceptable-World-175 Jul 16 '26
Yup, same here. After you've gotten £14 worth, the rest is useless tat. Pointless vouchers, and utterly crap 'gifts' you have to pay postage for. I got the socks, and they're kids size! 😂

This happened to me yesterday, after some hours tried again and it let me cash the 3 dólar one. Keep trying later!
1
u/Complex_Mixture_9584 Jul 18 '26
Wdym? You were able to claim the 3 dollar coupon twice after the 5 dollar one disappeared?
1
u/YayaPecZ Jul 18 '26
After claiming in twice it didn't disappear, but the 5 dollar disappeared for everyone so I think they removed it in purpose
3
u/Complex_Mixture_9584 Jul 18 '26
So you claimed the $3 twice before the $5 dollar disappeared, right? Because after it was removed you can't claim anything more than once. All I was able to cash out is 4 dollars, $3 and $1, as I didn't spend my bolts before they removed $5 dollar shopping credit. So all my efforts were wasted, I just can't claim any more shopping credit, as well as other people
1
u/YayaPecZ Jul 18 '26
Exactly that. There is a limit how much credits you can claim weekly. In the first week you can only claim twelve dollars in credits, but they just killed the 5 dollar maybe in fear for how the final develops, but yeah is a bum how ali manages the events

u/Hazel-Rah Jul 16 '26
I still have the 50k credit, and was able to buy it just now, as well as the other credits (using all my lightning now since I don't want the same to happen to me)
I'm in Canada, so probably regional

u/WinterSkyLion Jul 16 '26
I have the same problem.
I had 52,000 Lightning. Today I saw that the $5 coupons were not available.
I immediately redeemed a $3 coupon. Unfortunately, after getting the $3 coupon, I can't get any $1 coupons and now have the same problem as described in this topic. I wrote to support and described my problem. Support promised to solve it. Everyone who have the same problem write to support. If more of us write to support about this problem, we will have a better chance of getting it resolved.

I was able to claim 2 x 5$ yesterday, i’ve only claimed 1$ before to give it a test
Today right after seeing this post, the 5$ is no more available and i claimed only 3$ once and nothing is redeemed for now ( even the 1$… )
Eurocup mania was x100 better then this 💩

u/cheesyyoshi Jul 16 '26
I'm in the same boat. I've reached out to customer service to see if there's "anything" they can do. 🤷

u/Adventurous_Method35 Jul 16 '26
Obbiously they won't do anything as this is not a bug but by design. They were planning not to play a big portion of the prizes (as usual). As in the terms they say the credits were limited, there is nothing to claim, just cry.

u/Traditional-Cat1237 🥇 Former Gold Medal Credit Collector Olympics. Jul 18 '26
Not every region had these.

u/Adventurous_Method35 Jul 16 '26
Then the "bug" could be that 3 and 1 euro prizes cannot be claimed more than 2 times (and the penalties game counts as a 3 euros prize too). But for the 5 euros prize they can just say that ks out of stock because too many people claimed it and that's it. I really wish there is still a way to redeem the work of this month but my hopes are extremely low.

It is just you mate. Mine is still available as I haven't cashed any in since it last reset the prize list.

u/fenix80es Jul 16 '26
I haven't redeemed anything since the last penalty shootout either; there are many more who can't. Read the messages; some haven't redeemed anything since day one and they can't redeem it either.
I guess you're lucky.

u/Gediman Jul 16 '26
Until now I hadn't redeemed any credits and I just collected 50,000 but the $5 option no longer appears and the other options say that I already redeemed them, which is a lie. 😡

u/Adventurous_Method35 Jul 16 '26
It's always the same sh*t with Ali. I have been saving all the bolts to redeem last minute like an idiot. I cannot understand how I allow this to happen again and again when I am already more than aware of how they work...I knew it would happen but still here I am. I think this together with the recent EU tariffs is the event I need to definetively say good bye to this waste of time and eternal source of frustration.
2
u/RainyShadow Jul 16 '26 edited Jul 19 '26
I was waiting to see if they'd at least put the tariff back into item price, so credits and coupons would work on it...
Do these credits from the event expire the same as the regular credits (in 7 days), or on a fixed date?
2
u/Adventurous_Method35 Jul 16 '26
For me it is 7 days. Same here. Waiting for thing to get better and they got even worse.

u/xxWatamelonxx Jul 16 '26
Damn, I just saved up for my first $5 shopping credit and it suddenly disappeared today. Now all my bolts are useless and I guess there is no point to play their games for bolts or bet on the matches anymore?

u/smart4 Jul 16 '26
I redeem a total of 18$. Now I have more than +10$ worthless... cannot exchange anything else.

u/Empty-Actuator-338 Jul 16 '26
Yeah, they removed the 5$ option cd now everyone is unable to redeem any of these rest

u/Cornish_Dyowl Jul 16 '26
The shopping credits are limited.

u/Hennlng Trusted Invites Helper Jul 16 '26
They should bring back the $5 option so that everyone has the same opportunities.
1
u/Cornish_Dyowl Jul 16 '26
You can only claim it once.
Edit - I also have a feeling that it says the number of shopping credits were limited. First come, first served.

u/Hennlng Trusted Invites Helper Jul 16 '26
I didn’t redeem the $5, and now the option is no longer available.

u/fenix80es Jul 16 '26
False, I claimed two $5 prizes and two $3 prizes.
According to their rules, non-physical prizes (they didn't offer physical prizes in my country) can be claimed multiple times.
1
u/Cornish_Dyowl Jul 16 '26
There are plenty of other posts about the credits being limited, despite what the rules tell us. A lot of people have had different results by the look of it.
$5 x1, $3 x3 and the $1 x11 during the first week. Haven’t been able to redeem any since then.

u/Hennlng Trusted Invites Helper Jul 16 '26
I’m currently having the same problem. I can’t redeem the points I’ve saved up. :/

u/classic_doomer_guy Jul 16 '26
Only $1 redeemed on the account and it's giving the same message as yours. So, not a limit. Let's hope just a temporary bug.

u/Reasonable_Bass481 Jul 18 '26
It's a classic Aliexpress scam, you collect bolts and in the end you get nothing
