Hi Big Nelly,
I renewed with CDKeys a month ago and it worked fine for me. It's probably the best value around.

I bought a 12 month xboxlive subscription from Cardscodes.com late last night. Today I got my code in an email with an attachment of a photo of the code. I entered this code but I was alerted when a pop up told me this code had already been redeemed. I tried it a couple of times thinking I may have typed it in wrong but I got the same response.

I contacted their support team by email but 5-6 hours later I'm still awaiting a reply.

Has anything similar happened you and what steps did you take to get a satisfactory outcome? I feel like I've been burned for €32.

I purchased 12 months with cd keys the other day. Great value and available within minutes. Thinking of buying off them again when I get paid if the price is still as low so that I'll have two years without having to touch it

You can still get MS points but they are converted into the loca currency now.

If you want to get MS points for someone in the USA you'll have to purchase them from a website in the USA as points from Europe won't work over there and visa versa.

Ok, thanks. Does anyone know of any decently priced US sites were I can buy points?

I bought a few XBL points off simply cd keys before the change over to currency.... Now the currency ones say UK only and are in sterling.... Anyone know if that matters/anywhere else to get em?

Lads,

Just wondering, I picked up an Xbox One last night and I'm sorted on Gold membership for the next 12 months, but have a couple of questions:- If I purchase xbox points (thought these where phased out) or gift cards will they work on an irish xbox live account? If the answer is no is there any good sites selling Euro cards that I can use? Or would I be better off changing the region on by xbox to the UK and then buying the card?

Thanks

mrcheez

I *think* they are region-based, so for Ireland you would buy cards for the Europe region (or Worldwide)

You can find the supported region by clicking on the Product Information tab on Cdkeys.com

cheers, seemed to work. Of course I'm assuming we don't get Free Games with Gold with this?

Also be sure to check that they don't have "auto-renew" activated on your account once this has been entered. I think it only happens when you sign up for the "1 month 1 euro" via Xbox, rather than a voucher code, but worth checking.

I keep getting the error message tried with IE and Firefox

YOU'RE THIS CLOSE DON'T LET A LITTLE TYPO STOP YOU NOW

We did not recognize the code you entered. It should have five digits and be entered with no spaces. Try re-entering it.

Thanks, i tried copy without the space or type it manually, the strange part is that I get to enter the name and email address, I enter the catch-up code and press Enter on the keyboard (I do not see an Enter button) is when I get the error, I verified the catch up is correct too.

When entering the captcha - If you can't see the "Submit" Button, zoom out.
In Firefox Ctrl and -, or go to "View -> Zoom -> Zoom Out"

Make sure you have checked "NO" to "Are you an XBOX Live Gold Member?"

Then click "Submit"

Any idea if this 7 day code expires? I wouldn't get much use of it this week, but might like to use it later in May
