Hi.

Ok here comes the story.... lol

I bought a MAVIC Pro in March and I also bought a DJI care refresh at that time.
In August I crashed it and sent it to the Netherlands (as instructed) and activated DJI care refresh.
I was asked if I wanted it repair or replaced it and I opted to replace it.
Up to there no problem I got the new (replacement) craft back.
However when I was asked by the DJI Go app to activate the drone I was presented with the option to buy a DJI care refresh which I did not.

Today I contacted DJI support. To clarify the whole matter. And of course It was explained to me that I can't buy new DJI care refresh since the new crafts serial is bound to the existing DJI care refresh program.

However my question is what would have happened If when activating the new craft I would have opted to buy a DJI care refresh program?

That all been said I had to contact 3 different DJI people support (via online after sales support chat) to clarify this. One even suggested that I make a video of the craft (as shown here DJI_Care Customer Upload Information) and send it to [email protected]. I wonder If others have had the same problem getting through to the dpi support people what their problem is. It seems that they use a palette of preset answers and they do not even try to understand what you are asking. So to my question can I buy a new DJI care refresh plan I always got the answer that I do not need to. I had to repeatedly tell them that I understand that but CAN I if I wanted as was suggested by the Go app when activating the craft.

Anyway I wanted to share this with you maybe someone from DJI is listening and will fix this with the replacement craft activation so people don't get confused.

If it is less than 48 hours since you activated the new craft, I see no reason why you can't buy a Refresh for it?

But I'm confused...

I recently (last week) replaced my Mavic at the local store I purchased it from as it had a gimbal fault. I emailed DJI with the old serial number and the new one and they transferred the Refresh to the new bird.
 
Yeah that is what happened to me too. However the question is what would happen if at the tiome of activation I would have said Yes!
 
Then you would have been taken to the DJI store inside the app-browser and you would have to purchase a new refresh and pay for it :)
