    Set Parcel Motel as your main Address

    Just bought a year on amazon and got the code, used my parcel motel as address.
    The code won't redeem, does anyone know if this is locale locked to the UK, as I am in Ireland.

    Cheers.

    The only time I had a problem redeeming an xbox live code I got from Amazon was because I had already stacked 3 years worth on my account.
    I contacted Microsoft and they just told me that 3 was the maximum I could stack so I held onto it until one of the years had gone by and then redeemed it

    change your console's location and locale to the UK, It works with microsoft balance so should work fine with XBL Gold.

    Thanks guys, I got on to Amazon in the meantime as I kept trying without success. They have cancelled the order, so will order from cd keys.

    I've used CDkeys for the last four years and for other stuff like PUBG. I haven't had any issues with them in those four years and there's no waiting around for the codes. Emailed straight to me after around 5 mins.

    I know a bit late, but I ordered my one yesterday from cd keys too ( did used them before for pc games and xbox live ), got my code instantly. Never ever had issues with that crowd.

    That happened to me once. Xbox support told me to try on Xbox.com and it worked

    It will always also work on a Xbox 360 if you still have one. I don't know the algorithms used in the Xbox One but it seems a step back from the 360 days even achievements don't pop straight away on the One.

    Just used cd keys for €39.99
    eBay was much the same for a code

    There are some cheaper options on eBay but you’re buying an Xbox laccount already loaded with the xbox live years pass but I didn’t trust this option

    The internet isn’t for everyone

    Yeah Electronic first have it for e29 or so and plenty of recent users on hukd

    If your buying any digital codes from eBay, keep in mind that their embg doesn't cover digitally delivered goods.
    So if your code doesn't work and you call up to get a refund you'll be told no

    Yep thought of that already that’s why I didn’t chance the flakey sellers

    That's useful.



    Microsoft Rewards can also be used for Xbox Live Gold. Currently 29,000 points for 12months.

    Hola, señorita bonita
    €18.66 for 12 months Xbox Live if you use a VPN connected to Argentina.

    I used Nord VPN (free trial) on an Android phone and my revolut card (I dont think what card you use matters). For some reason it left payment pending and I couldnt use Xbox Live for 2 hours or so. Its fine now though.

    Edit: I dont think it works if you have an active subscription

    I'm trying to buy this as a gift but when I log in to my account the price goes up to €60. Any idea how to get it for 39.99?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,010 ✭✭✭✭GBX


    I just tried it there. I think its a sign up to gold offer at that price.

    You can use those codes after your current subscription expires.
