    I bought a 12 month membership card with free 800 points in Game. When I inputted the code it gave me the points but not the membership.

    I tried inputting it again this time on Xbox Live and it said the code had been used up!

    Is there a way to get my membership?

    Was it just one code for both? Surely it's two different codes. Just make sure you're not glancing over a 2nd code or something :D

    Head to https://billing.microsoft.com/home.aspx and log in with your Windows Live ID from your Gamertag. It'll list a 12 month subscription, if it activated

    If all else fails, as mentioned, ring Support. Give them the code, and they can tell you what it's for, and when it was redeemed :)

    Happened to me once and it turned out I just wasn't being methodical enough when typing the code. If you're 100% sure it doesn't work though give them hell.

    Should be two codes. Never heard of a sub + points being one code.

    Make sure you've scratched off all the silver stuff (Anyone know what the name for that stuff is? Presumably there is a general name for it.)

    If no second code give support a ring. They can check codes for you and see what the craic is.

    It's latex. A type of rubber. They use the same stuff on national lottery scratch cards.

    +1 Definitely ring the customer support line. They might be able to do something to activate the 12 month for you.

    This is what happened! Turns out I hadn't quite scratched everything off!
