Is it your first time using CD Keys?

First time I used it the code took a couple of hours. It's usually sent over fairly quick now.

First time I bought from them, the Quantum Break code, I had to verify my account with them before they sent the code. Perhaps log in, or check your email and see if they need it.

Panic over. Code is here. Thanks.

There's a German site with an ebay store too, that sell it for quite cheap. I started looking for it earlier and got sidetracked. I can't remember what it's called. Hopefully someone else will.

EDIT - I can't remember it, but it's €34 on G2A.com or €49 for 24 months.

DOUBLE EDIT - Gameladen.com was the site I was thinking of (I think) but it seems to be €41 there.

I ordered from them
paid by PayPal
got an email receipt
half hour later got an email saying my order had been cancelled as there have been a lot of hacked PayPal accounts so they can't be too safe!
I am uneasy about this now....,

I've used gameladen a good few times and never had a problem, I wouldn't be worried about them at all.

I've ordered from them before without issues.

They did ring me to confirm I was who I said I was though. Did you happen to miss any calls between the time you ordered and the time you got the cancellation email?

That's the best deal that's being around for a while. Got it last year for around €28 from CDKeys but it's gone up since.

Does Xbox Live membership stack? i'm not expiring until August sometime.

It does, yes. However, there used to be a problem with stacking three or more years on it, so be warned if you go up that high. Not sure if that's still the case, just in case you were going to buy a decades worth!

um7y1h83ge06nx · 15-04-2016 10:24am

Thanks, just bought the one.

No but it did say if u try again they may call me
I'll try it again so

um7y1h83ge06nx · 15-04-2016 11:38am

They sent it to me in about 5 minutes, had to search my junk folder though so be sure to look there.

Redeemed it online and worked no problem, thanks for the heads up!

You still cant stack more than 3 years

Whys it gone up so much?

TheOwl12 · 18-04-2016 5:19am

Hey lads. I bought a 3 month subscription for my brother as a gift but he had already changed his account over to the English market place after moving there. I have no use for it but I have it up on Adverts for 15 euro if anyone wants it.

Is it an Xbox One? Live codes are region free.

Yeah it's an xbox one. Thats what I initially thought, but he refuses to take it and is sticking to his guns about it. I've no use for it and all my friends are on pc or ps4 so I might as well try to get some money back.

He's a Muppet

I might take it off you just want to see how long mine is stacked for.

Yep, can't deny that. Give me a message if you do want it whenever

I bought 12 months Live from CDKeys, and when I enter it on the Xbox One, I keep getting this error code:
Something went wrong - go to http://xbox.com/errorhelp
Error Code - Xbos-0x80169D3A

But when I put that code in the link, I get this:
http://support.xbox.com/en-GB/error-code-lookup?code=Xbos-0x80169D3A

Error 80169d3a occurs when using Xbox Live on your Xbox 360

You see the following error code and message when you try to use Xbox Live on your Xbox 360 console:
Can't retrieve information from Xbox Live.
Status code: 80169d3a
This may mean one of the following:

The Xbox Live service is temporarily unavailable.

Your Xbox Live Gold subscription or Groove Music Pass has an outstanding balance, and new purchases are being declined.

Your PayPal account country/region doesn't match your Xbox Live account country/region.

Your account has incorrect or incomplete billing information.

CDKeys are taking their time replying, I'm guessing it's because it's Sunday. Has anyone else had this issue?

Would it be because CDKeys Paypal doesn't match Xbox Live Country/Region?

Try entering it on Xbox.com.

Balls. You can try changing the web region on the bottom left of the page. Probably the easiest thing to do is to get on to Xbox com support .

Also have you a payment instrument on your account and is your gold expired right now?

I'm on to them now (Live Chat). Not sure what you mean Payment instrument, a card attached? Hope not. Had a ton of hassle a few years ago with Nephew.

Gold is expired, yep.
I bought 2 weeks first, and that didn't work - I thought it was because it was a "trial".

Yeah, a card or PayPal. It can be a bit screwy if there is no PI attached. Support should fix it though.

A card was attached (My old Debit) and Nephew had run up quite a bill. I 'owed' them €14 for something, I think it was for March and April monthly Gold. But it is infuriating the way they have auto renewal on.
My Gold must have expired in February, he found card and must have signed up for a month.
I don't get whu they left it for March and April though.

Anyway, problem sorted, and I've removed all payment methods for now.

Thanks for the help, and advice.

12 month codes seem to have gone up pretty much everywhere

Mine expired last week, just got 12 months for €38.89 on xbox-live.com and after I redeemed the code and reactivated gold, I was still being offered a 1-month free trial on the Xbox site to rejoin. Took it and it stacked fine, 13 months for €39 isn't too shabby, so if your renewal date is coming up let it expire for a free month!
