this kept on happening to me, it said that it was added to my account, but it didn't show up. I tried again later and then, again it said it was added to my account, but this time it worked. just keep trying, click the link from the email again. If it wont work, then stop and try a bit later.
If you scroll down that page, below the section to change your skin there is a section titled 'Change your cape' with a drop down that lets you pick which cape your can use.
I just got around to adding my cape from this year to my account and it seemed to change it to that by default, see screenshot attached.
I tried using the link to claim it and hooked it up to my account, it said the cape was assigned to the profile but doesnt show up. Any ideas why?
Try logging into minecraft.net to edit your profile, you may see an option to enable the cape on there.
For me its either "Could not load your capes. Please try again later!" or nothing at all.
**EDIT** Click your minecon cape link again and re-log back into minecraft.net. It should work for you now

I have tried 20 times and still doesn't work. Its too bad Mojang customer service sucks. Not returning emails.
Here is the screen I get when I click on the link.

That is exactly what is happening to me. I hope Mojang fixes this soon.
I finally got it to work. Try this: Go to your link copy the link and paste it into the browser window. That's all I did and it worked.

Make sure no one used that code yet (Someone might have stolen it somehow) , this is exactly what happens if you try to use a already redeemed code.
