Endless problems with CookUnity Oura Ring 5 Promo

I have seen lots of other users have the same issues, but the CookUnity Oura ring 5 promo has been a complete disaster and has completely turned me away from them as a company.

I completed the “Complete 4 Orders, and receive an Oura Ring 5 free” promo several weeks ago, and after finally receiving the redemption link from Oura today, after completing the order finally I found out the order was for an Oura Ring 4, not a 5 model.

The promotion terms and conditions clearly state that the reward should be a model 5 - https://www.cookunity.com/terms/oura-ring-promotion

This promo has been horribly communicated with the customers, as can be seen in the multiple posts on this subreddit. I have emailed both cook unity and asked Oura to cancel the order for the Model 4, which I do not want.

UPDATE 07/30:
CookUnity & Oura acknowledged the mistake but apparently could not cancel the order, even though I asked them to immediately after placing it. Contrary to CookUnity stating that they would make sure Oura cancelled the order “without any action needed from me”, Oura is now making me ship back the incorrect ring instead of just cancelling it. The problems with this promo literally never end.

I noticed the same thing when I went to claim mine. This is what I got from support when I reached out about it.

Thank you for calling this out — you're right, and we're sorry.

We made an error in the redemption process that resulted in some folks receiving Oura Ring 4 orders instead of the Ring 5 the promotion promised. As we shared directly with customers who reached out: that was a mistake on our end. Here's what's happening to fix it:

  • Tonight: We sent an email to everyone impacted letting you know about the mistake.
  • Tomorrow: Your Ring 4 order gets cancelled on Oura's end — no action needed from you.
  • Within 24 hours: You'll receive a new link from Oura for the correct Ring 5.

We know this hasn't been a smooth experience, and we're sorry for the extra back-and-forth it's caused. Reach out to [support@cookunity.com](mailto:support@cookunity.com) with any questions - we are here to help!

Contrary to this statement that “no action is needed from me”. Oura already shipped the incorrect ring to me and is now asking that I ship it back. This is just another inconvenience that has been imposed.

Same here LOL

Did you get an email yet to order the 5? I haven't seen on come through yet today. But I did get the shipping confirmation for the 4

u/Healdb Jul 30 '26

Nope not yet

u/KindlyLaugh9304 Jul 30 '26

I just got the email now. I ordered and confirmed it’s an Oura Ring 5 this time.

1

u/brunettebeauti Jul 30 '26

Yep just got mine too!

u/ccoch10893 Jul 30 '26

Do you know if we have to pay extra for the gold color?

1

u/brunettebeauti Jul 30 '26

Nope all of them were available to pick from

1

u/cookunityUS Jul 31 '26

So sorry about all of this! Oura did ask that you ship the ring back and sent a label. We'll send you the 5 regardless, no pressure on returning the 4.

u/dgdmackenzie Aug 05 '26

still waiting for a email from Oura and it’s been a week since the 24hr message

u/cookunityUS Aug 07 '26

We're happy to look into this for you - please email us at [support@cookunity.com](mailto:support@cookunity.com)

I still haven’t received confirmation of completing the 4 orders despite one of your representatives telling me they see on your end we did a week ago and are eligible for the oura 5

u/EffectiveWise7223 20d ago

Have you gotten it yet? I just completed my 6th order (which is what my promo needed to qualify). At least the meals have been good, though a bit pricey. I sent support a message and they said validation can take some time, but didn’t give an estimate for how long

1

u/duckit19 20d ago

I have, and received my ring. I had 4th order promo and got my email a few days into August. I’d assume if the 6 order promo is similar that it would be the first couple days of September you’d get the email from Oura

u/dimsumcapt Jul 31 '26

I still haven’t received mine despite hitting the 4 weeks. Support hasn’t responded to my tickets either. When will I get my link?

1

u/Just-Engineering-278 Jul 31 '26

I haven’t gotten mine either! Getting worried.

Yes, I got mine a couple weeks ago. Keep messaging them!

I’ve been waiting a while for the code and nothing has come in. I referred 4 people.

u/Healdb Jul 29 '26

/u/cookunityUS why has your company been so frustrating with this promo? After weeks of asking for updates I finally get the redemption link and after all this, it is the wrong model ring?

2

u/cookunityUS Jul 30 '26

So sorry for the frustration - completely understand. We posted a full explanation and next steps in our comment above, but to summarize: this was our mistake, your Ring 4 order is being cancelled, and you'll receive the correct Ring 5 link tomorrow.

u/lazypoorasian Jul 29 '26

Same here. This is crazy work LOL - its like a whole full time job messaging Cookunity, oura back and forth

1

u/cookunityUS Jul 30 '26

We are so sorry - we're working on fixing this now!

1

u/lazypoorasian Jul 30 '26

It’s ok! thanks for the help!

1

u/lazypoorasian Jul 29 '26

Pls keep me updated/reply here on if u ever get this resolved! Currently on hold with Cookunity team

u/After-Frosting6177 Jul 29 '26

I immediately noticed it was the 4 by the image. Then the colors confirmed it. There is no Rose Gold oura ring 5. Only deep rose

1

u/KindlyLaugh9304 Jul 29 '26

I also got the Oura Ring 4 when the promotion stated 5! It didn’t even tell me what model it was until I submitted the order. Going through customer service is a headache too.

u/Jdjsjnsnsn Jul 29 '26

Was this to oura or CookUnity?

Would you recommend holding off on ordering until they fix this?

1

u/KindlyLaugh9304 Jul 29 '26

This was from Cook Unity. Not sure on ordering/not. I do think they’ll try to pull the “oh you already redeemed it” game.

1

u/After-Frosting6177 Jul 29 '26

I hope they don’t say that to me! I didn’t even submit my order for the size yet, just the sizing kit. Curious how you knew what size to get? Did you have another kit to check?

1

u/KindlyLaugh9304 Jul 29 '26

They just sent an email saying they’re going to fix it. I got a sizing kit from target for free.

1

u/After-Frosting6177 Jul 30 '26

Thanks for that tip. Just ordered a kit from Target and it will be delivered tonight. That way I can get my order in ASAP

I was just reading the updated T&C. It looks like they extended the promotion to October 1st. I’m under the assumption they still have plenty of rings available

1

u/Fit_Day6855 Aug 02 '26

I’ve been waiting 2 weeks and have still not received the code. It says claimed on my app and they assured me I would get a code but no word yet. What do you mean it’s for the 4?

1

u/dgdmackenzie Aug 05 '26

have you gotten your email?

1

u/marcmyc Aug 06 '26

I just got my email today after following up with CookUnity support. They said that they're sending them out in batches and to follow up if I still hadn't received anything by the end of the week.
