After the end of a mission, I always quit the game lobby. Then I have followed these steps each time:
1. Check the global leaderboard (not just your friends, I click right to see the global list)
2. Open the store but don't buy anything, just exit it
3. Check the global leaderboard again
4. Go back in the store and shop away.
This sounds crazy, but could somebody else try it? Maybe it is just coincidence but I have been unable to shop for days, and now all of a sudden it is working better....

Now, maybe they actually fixed something (doubtful) but I may have found a workaround? I was having the problem well over 90% of the time, but I have shopped successfully the last four times I have tried, during different times today.

I tried this today but could only check it once since i didn't have more than 23k credits, successfully bought a Veteran pack using this technique considering i was having a problem and couldn't purchase anything yesterday. Can anyone else with more credits in bag clarify this method?

This bug is seriously killing the fun I have with the multiplayer.

Could it have something to do with us sharing a connection? I have UDP ports 3659,6000 forwarded to -my- PC.

If/when a purchase fails disconnect from the internet by pulling the plug on your machine or by disabling wifi. This will return you to the main menu. (DONT QUIT THE GAME)
Enable your internet access again and return to the multiplayer menu and your pack unlocks now.
Myself and my friend had only postive result using this method.

Hmm, it seems to work. Just bought something like ten Premium Veteran Packs without any problems (been saving up my credits, had two million sitting around). I'll test again at a different time to see if it's not just something related to time/network load.GuinnessPint wrote...

For now I'll link your post and quote it in the first post. Thanks!

So there seems to be two problems Bioware needs to address.
1) The actual bug that may or may not be eating peoples' credits/BP.
2) Give us a log that details recent acquisitions.
Even if no credits were lost in this process, I would be pissed that I never got the chance to see what's inside the boxes. The thrill of gambling is the whole reason you went with CCG-esque loot, is it not? So you can solve this entire issue either by fixing 1) or by fixing 2). Preferably both, but I would honestly settle for 2).
P.S. The "check the leaderboards first to ensure a connect to Bioware servers before using the Store" thing doesn't work.

You know, Bioware, if you want me to play during your multiplayer events, this is not exactly a strong motivation to do so. Would be nice to be refunded the 53000 credits, but that is not going to happen I'm sure.

Did a full inventory of every weapon, mod, equipment, consumable, etc, when I got the error message. Logged completely out of the game, came back in, rechecked against my list. New items were there. However, I had to go through my inventory, weapon by weapon, mod by mod, to see what new showed up.
So, for everyone losing credits/BP, hopefully you are in fact receiving items when you exit and reenter the game.

I used the leader broad method and bought a 5k pack and it works.
Bioware, where's my 100k credit?

So. I haven't got my other challange pack yet. It's been few days now And i have contacted customer support 2 times already.
What hapaned?
When I was redeeming my pack the ME3 store lagged out. I restarted the game and after loging back in and opening the store the pack was gone but no items were redeemed.
No solution yet. Support has forwarded my issue to the senior support teem. I am waiting to hear back from them. So far I am very disappointed.
Also I have lost 160 BioWare points due to this bug.
