Hi Albert, I simplified the add sitelinks to a campaign example <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/samples/java/extensions#add-sitelinks-to-a-campaign> and gave this a try. I simplified it where I only did the first sitelink feed item with the *Store Hours*.
*Step 1: *I called the CampaignExtensionSettingServices <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201603/CampaignExtensionSettingService> and added the my first site link to one campaign (in this case campaign ID *346166693*). Here's the SOAP request and response: [29 Mar 2016 13:56:42,285 - INFO ] Outgoing Request: <SOAP-ENV:Body><mutate xmlns= "https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201603";><operations><operator> ADD</operator><operand><campaignId>346166693</campaignId><extensionType> SITELINK</extensionType><extensionSetting><extensions xsi:type="SitelinkFeedItem" ><sitelinkText>Store Hours</sitelinkText>< sitelinkFinalUrls><urls>http: //www.example.com/storehours</urls></sitelinkFinalUrls></extensions></extensionSetting></operand></operations></mutate></SOAP-ENV:Body> [29 Mar 2016 13:56:42,865 - INFO ] Incoming response: <soap:Body><mutateResponse xmlns= "https://adwords.google.com/api/adwords/cm/v201603";><rval><ListReturnValue.

Reuse the feed item ID from earlier by setting that feed item ID (3856853919) as the only field set in the SiteLinkFeedItem <https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/reference/v201603/AdGroupExtensionSettingService.SitelinkFeedItem> .

Plus, you get back all the other details such as the site link text. I checked in the AdWords UI to make sure it was really the same site link by changing the site link text of *Store Hours* to *Store Hours 1* in one campaign and then checking in the other campaign to see if the change was reflected. It looks like in the end I only ended up with one site link. Please take a look at this and compare it to what you have. Perhaps, there's one field that you need to tweak in your code in order to get it to work. If you're still experiencing issues, I would be happy to take a more in-depth look.
