Help! Fked up scratching off 2100 Ms point code!

jayteecork

Basically I ****ed up scratching the first five digits as I used the wrong side of a knife!

Can Microsoft help?

I bought it online from Zavvi and could provide receipt, as well as the serial number and I can properly scan card but please see quick photograph I took.

Anyone been in a similar spot?

Thanks.

Happened to a fella out of my class with a 12 month code and microsoft couldnt do anything/give a sh1t. Since only 3-4 of them are unusable, why not try guessing them ? :P

I did. no hope. This sucks. Do Microsoft code use the full 26 letters and 10 numerials? I might try and narrow it down a bit.

If you're going to guess, it looks like 847BY or 84TBY to me. Do it on xbox.com, easier than the on screen keyboard.

I'll do a proper scan later (of the first 5 digis only lol) and you nice guys can all help me "crack the code" until the code is redeemed.

The 0 coud be a Q and the T could probably be a 1.. Worth the try to see if it works.. Just keep trying..

jayteecork

First one is almost certainly a Q.
middlee one is 90% a T.

Second one isn't a 4 I don't think. The curves are round. 2nd one is most difficult tbh.

Better scan is probably your best chance.. Can't really get clear view there tbh..

I have tried: QCTBT QCTBY Q9TBY QGTBT and so on, no joy. It's the second character I think that's the problem.

5th character could be 1

Could the third be a 7 instead of a T?

The first one looks like a G to me.

I'm feeling the "rath" of your spelling already.

Also, misleading username is misleading.

1st one deffo ain't Q just look at the other one in the pic, do they look the same width ?
On my cards the Q is also fatter an more curved.

Then again even on the same card some of the same letters will appear different as that's just how the printer goes.

At this stage it's really just a case of sitting down with all possible combinations and plugging them in one by one until you've managed to get it. It is unfortunate - aren't these cards supposed to come with a serial code somewhere else that isn't underneath foil or easily removable that you can use to help MS to help you?
