Unable to link Roku account to Alexa (using skill)

The steps I took were:

  1. Launched Alexa app (on iPhone)
  2. Tapped on "More+" => "Skills & Games"
  3. Searched for: roku
  4. Selected "Roku" => "ENABLE TO USE"
  5. In Link Account, tapped "Accept and Continue"
  6. Prompted to sign into Roku account (email/password)
  7. Email sent with passcode, which was typed in
  8. Tapped "Connect to Alexa App"
  9. Tapped "Continue"

Then the following error appears:

 

Unable to link accounts

We're experiencing an issue while linking your accounts.

Please visit the Account Linking Help page for instructions to attempt linking again.

 

Ironically, the instructions are the same as steps 1-9... so, not helpful. As a side note, the Roku device was online and powered on the TV during setup.
