I want to redeem the Dropbox Basic Extra plan.

I got a notification popup that offered me Dropbox basic-extra.   It was around 500GB for around $6 a month.  I was excited to take the offer but was busy with other people and the timing was not right so I thought I would sign up later when I got home.  But the offer was gone.   On a Live Chat a customer service person gave me a URL link to redeem it but it just gave an error that said it is not available.  

How can I get the basic-extra plan?     It is just personal use and I just cannot justify 2TB or more money.  Kindly let me know how I can upgrade to the basic-extra plan.  Thank, Gary

    There has to be some way that that offer can be reissued. That's kind of silly if it's a once-in-a-lifetime offer.   kindly try again.  Gary

      Hi there, gdwright, wishing you a great week!

      Could I send you an email, to see if there's anything that can be done about this?

      Let me know, and we'll take it from there!

        Sure Megan.  That would be fine. I believe you've got my email address. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks, Gary

    These offers are often time-limited and need to be redeemed when offered. If Support provided you with a link to the offer and it wasn't available, then the time has passed and it's no longer available.

    This happened often with the Basic+ plan, which, in the past, was only available for short times and to a limited audience.
