Redeeming a PoE 2 EA key that was donated

Hi GGG

I'm a veteran player who donated a few dozen divines to a new player about a week ago, and because karma often goes both ways, he decided to donate a spare PoE 2 EA key that he had purchased to me.

But I can't seem to figure out how to redeem that key without buying a new one for myself. Is there a way to do that?

Specifically through GGG's client rather than through steam, since my understanding is that pre-downloading isn't fully solved on that platform as of writing, and I would very much like to be able to do that.

Thanks.

Two minutes and thirty seconds, that has to be some kind of a record.

GGG being based as usual, thank you so much.

Nevermind, other post solved my issue.

Hi there,

You can redeem Early Access keys for Path of Exile 2 by navigating to the Redeem Key section of our website.

Once you have redeemed your key, you can check on your Early Access status by navigating to the my-account/early-access section of our website.

I have two keys, both keys don't work. I get the message

"This key is not applicable to your account"

On top of that, the steam keys are unavailable. What is going on?

Also having this issue, figured it was something that would get sorted out but still unable to redeem even today. Hopefully whatever the issue is can be resolved today.

Edit: Green text at the top of the page is does in fact mean what it says I guess XD my bad lol

it says i have no access to play the game? is this game not free to play? why are all my friends playing who had no keys at all? why

I was given a key from a friend who purchased the $240 version of the game. my understanding it came with 2 keys. he gave me one and the other person another. im also getting the message "this key is not applicable to your account" ? why is this?

Anyone got a spare key for an old player whose country economy is not the best and with no regional pricing cant get into the beta this time? i did pay for poe 1 beta back in the day if it means anything XD
