3-month Arcade offer for new device disappeared

I purchased a new Macbook Air in January (last month) and yesterday I attempted to redeem the 3-month arcade subscription. During signup I was met with a dialogue requesting a sign-in with my apple ID for a second time right after my original sign-in, except this time there was no input windows in the dialog.

I rebooted to see if that will fix the issue, but now I only get the 1/month free offer.

What can I do. I live in a country without any Apple Stores and I'm 100s of kms from an authorised dealer.

MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.1

Thank you so much for your reply.

I contacted Support and it turns out that the promotion is only available if you purchased a device directly from an Apple Authorised distributor. Even though I did so (iStore South Africa) I used the takealot.com platform to fulfil the order & delivery.
