    i had that problem a while ago and i pretty much just left it and put in the code again from xbox.com the next day and it was fine. maybe your having a different problem but maybe just wait a while and try it on xbox.com.

    I mentioned this in another thread the other day , but these codes never work for me from the xbox, well 9/10 times they dont. Always work 1st go on the web site.

    Out of interest for those that get that error, are any of yee connecting through a shared wireless connection from your laptop / pc ??

    got this of anothere site


    Make sure you have all of your Contact Information filled out. If you don't, for some reason, XBL doesn't let you add prepaid stuff. Anyway, to get to your Contact Information, follow these steps:
    1) Sign In with the Gamertag you want to Redeem your stuff with.
    2) Go to the Marketplace Blade.
    3) Select Account Management.
    4) Select Contact Information.
    At this point, it will ask you for the password for your Windows Live Account, enter it in the appropriate box then select the Sign In Button. If all goes well, you should see all the Contact Information they have on you. Just make sure to fill out everything, you can put anything that seems valid. The information you put doesn't have to be correct.
