[Closed] "Locked" Episodes Won't Play Even Though I Just Signed Up

I just signed up for a 7-day trial for a Plus account. Yet, "locked" episodes still won't play. They still present only the butttons asking me for an either standard or plus subscription even though I just did so!

  • I subscribed via viki.com and have already tried logging out and in many times. It still won't let me see these locked episodes.

    This is not much of a "free trial"!

  • Yeah it doesn't matter now. The free trial is only for a week.

    Basically, the supposed "free trial" for the "Plus" option doesn't work. I had tried watching the locked episodes for "Hotel del Luna" which was supposedly accessible to both standard and plus passes. Unless these are still not accessible for "free trials". In which case it's not much of a free trial.

    Anyway I ended up subscribing to a standard account. You might as well just advertise only the current sale on standard accounts as THAT option worked just fine.
