Hi @DeadOdds,
When they ask you to try again with the proof of purchase (POP) it's usually because the images sent in didn't meet the criteria exactly. For example, if they were cropped or edited they can't be accepted and support would ask for new ones, etc. The EA help article 'How to provide proof of purchase' lays out the specifications needed for each proof of purchase (POP) image. Before you resume the case again, it'd be no harm to double-check that the POP you've gathered matches the specifications, and that' should help speed things up when you connect with an advisor next time.
In terms of the case oddness, I'm not sure why the chat option wasn't available or how to get it to appear for you again. It might work if you can resume your original case. Do you see an option to pick up where you left off with the original case from your My Cases page? You can find it on EA Help:
- Sign in to your EA Account.
- Go to My Cases.
- Select the existing case from the list you want to continue with, then choose Resume Case if it's available.
- EA_Lanna
