Copied from /r/gamedeals:

1200 Microsoft Points for USD$5, coupon code required (which was from the Xbox One signup promo)

In addition, a US Microsoft Store account (just make a new one) is required for purchase of the code, but is not necessary for redemption.

These codes are coupon codes for the Microsoft Store, and not game redeem codes.

Other codes that may or may not work.

EDIT: Worked for me, proof: http://i.imgur.com/ix9Ztxw.png

EDIT 2: As per donga100, these codes were from the Xbox One Signup promotion here. However codes appear to be multiple use. If they don't work, try using your own code if you have them.

      Just checked mine as well, its been cancelled as well :(

  • shano on 27/05/2013 - 00:53

    Just ordered like an hour ago with paypal and order has just been cancelled on paypal.

  • HS10 on 27/05/2013 - 01:17

    Well that sucks.. Cancelled also ;(

    • yacman on 27/05/2013 - 01:37

      what were the circumstances behind your payment?

      for example:

      I didnt use a VPN

      Created a new account with REAL US OR address

      could not get my credit card to be accepted, so used paypal

      did not change my paypal address to US but my account billing address was US (this is the only thing i think i may of done wrong to cause cancelation)

      then ordered 5 codes in a row with the same promo code (it was cached or something because i didnt even need to add it when I added new items to my cart)

      10 min later canceled

      lets compare this to see if theres anything else we could do, seems other forums are reporting it still works so, it could just be because of our location.

      • shano on 27/05/2013 - 02:00

        All same as you except i only ordered 1 code for now.

  • HS10 on 27/05/2013 - 01:46

    Well I didn't even change much besides putting a fake US address onto the Microsoft account. Did not make any changes to my PayPal (Used for payment).

    I did use the same code twice.

  • Donatello on 27/05/2013 - 02:15

    Cancelled as well. :(

  • jackthefrost on 27/05/2013 - 07:10

    Canceled half my order but didn't get my money back…???

  • summit on 27/05/2013 - 07:54

    Cancelled also. Worth a shot I guess

  • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2013 - 08:02

    never used xbox b4, does the points expire?

    • summit on 27/05/2013 - 11:41
      -1

      Yes they do, I just had 200 points expire on me the other day, the day before I was going to buy something

        Purchased points do not expire. Points from promotions (Xbox Live Rewards, etc) expire 1 year after being awarded them.

  • JayMoney on 27/05/2013 - 08:40

    Just put in an order, fingers crossed it goes through

    Order confirmed and got my code within 30 minutes of placing the order!!!

    • SirFlibbled on 27/05/2013 - 08:58

      geez I still have't received my code and I did it about 4pm yesterday.

  • habibangel on 27/05/2013 - 09:11

    Just ordered 2 with paypal, 5 minutes ago and both worked. This was the code I used XboxEMWA9vgetv6pz. Good Luck.

  • ZRXS12 on 27/05/2013 - 10:14

    I ordered one using a code I received I still haven't received anything and my payment says pending.

    I have no order history or anything.

    Is this normal?

    • xgenosis on 27/05/2013 - 10:17

      I ordered about 20 min ago and i still haven't gotten anything except an email from PayPal saying that there was an order pending….. Hopefully it goes through, used the code i got emailed a couple of days ago

      • ZRXS12 on 27/05/2013 - 10:20

        Just checked my paypal again and it's been cancelled but no refund.

  • star64 on 27/05/2013 - 10:16

    I just tried all codes and none of them are valid

  • xgenosis on 27/05/2013 - 10:18

    I suspect that M$ have a big back log of orders at present. if I don't hear anything within the next couple of hours then chances are it hasn't gone through….

  • JohJoh on 27/05/2013 - 10:34

    My 3 orders were cancelled (in PayPal) :(

    • ZRXS12 on 27/05/2013 - 10:41

      Did they refund the money?

      • JohJoh on 27/05/2013 - 11:50

        It doesn't show up on my internet banking that they charged me in the first place.

  • xgenosis on 27/05/2013 - 10:46

    Ok so I just had both of my orders completed and used the codes on my AU account and works perfectly!!!

    going to get another 2 or 3 purchases :)))

    How i got it to work

    Signed into MS store with my AU account and added an US postal address, Added the same US address to my Paypal for shipping

    processed ordered, waited about an hour and it worked

  • [Deactivated] on 27/05/2013 - 10:47

    I put in 2 orders yesterday. 1 with a code from this post, and 1 with a unique code I got (before it was brodened).

    The 1 with the unique code I got has been cancelled, but the other 1 went through. Yet to receive any thing though.

  • Szemen on 27/05/2013 - 10:56

    Mine just came through successfully. Ordered yesterday. Had an aussie Live, aussie paypal address but Oregon address when purchasing.

  • ATD on 27/05/2013 - 11:05

    Just looked and my two transactions were cancelled by MS - different new accounts and codes from here :(

  • clockworkbenny on 27/05/2013 - 11:21

    just got both of mine at 11am! U.S. microsoft account and U.S. mail address. claimed on aussie Live account. paid with mastercard. they were emailed to my email account.

  • Keef on 27/05/2013 - 11:26

    3 of my 10 codes have come through.awaiting the delivery of the rest. Looking pretty good so far.
    Those who've had theirs cancelled, get yourself a new code using the XBOX ONE notification promotion noted earlier. Don't re-use the codes mentioned in here to avoid disappointment.

    • Keef on 02/06/2013 - 09:43

      Just got my 4th code. Waiting patiently does wonders.

  • mackaxx on 27/05/2013 - 11:28

    Payment accepted on all four now and just got my first code emailed. Fingers crossed on the other 3.

  • 1morphine1 on 27/05/2013 - 11:43

  • ZRXS12 on 27/05/2013 - 12:36

    Okay registered another MS account to a residential address in New Hampshire, paid with CC and code just came through :)

  • wonderboy on 27/05/2013 - 12:43

    Tried a few of the codes and they are invalid. Also you have to call to remove your CC details, that sucks.

  • Captain Howdy on 27/05/2013 - 13:15

    I got 2 of my 3 codes. They both went through fine. Hoping the third arrives soon.

    • Captain Howdy on 28/05/2013 - 12:18

      Still waiting on the last code. It's odd how it seems so hit or miss. Money is still gone from my debit card.

  • HS10 on 27/05/2013 - 13:34

    anyone who doesn't need the code.. please feel free to pass it onto me :) thanks!

  • mackaxx on 27/05/2013 - 13:53

    Weird, I've been charged for 4 and only had one code sent. Will wait and see.

  • star64 on 27/05/2013 - 13:53

    I just tried this again went with paypal and I got the please contact customer service message.
    I waited a while and tried pressing confirm again and it went through.
    nothing yet from microsoft store but paypal email for $14.99. I know I put the code in and it worked but what happened?

    EDIT:
    Now the codes are invalid again.

  • signalman on 27/05/2013 - 14:00

    • signalman on 27/05/2013 - 16:06

      • mackaxx on 27/05/2013 - 16:08

        You could try to use it with a US account.

  • iaijutsu on 27/05/2013 - 14:19

    I had 4 of my 5 codes come through successfully this morning (ordered yesterday afternoon).

    Good enough for me.

    I used the University of Oregon as my address….

  • stev418 on 27/05/2013 - 17:38

  • attfiecz2 on 27/05/2013 - 18:04

    Got mine today. "Thank you for shopping with Microsoft on May 26, 2013. We hope you enjoyed your shopping experience."

    so about a 24 hour turnaround. Redeemed fine on Australian xbox account. Will try and buy some more now.

  • spychiatrist on 27/05/2013 - 18:20

    Tried a US address, paypal US address, still no go…I give up. Saved $4.99 in the process

  • congo on 27/05/2013 - 18:21

    Can we use the points to buy games?
    Or are they mainly for game addons?

  • cheng2008 on 27/05/2013 - 19:00

    Ordered a couple of codes yesterday, haven't received any of them.

    Trying to order a few more today but none of the codes work now.

  • AlphaQ on 27/05/2013 - 19:27

    Ordered and paid for one yesterday, got an email this morning with the code. Haven't tried to redeem yet. Great bang for the buck. Thanks OP.

  • SydStrand on 27/05/2013 - 23:03

    Both of mine arrived and redeemed them, ordered yesterday.

    I think they're trying to stop the bleed from Brodens so newer purchases and PayPals are getting cancelled.

  • kosh52 on 27/05/2013 - 23:56

    tried to do it but whenever it applies the promo code and discounts the MS points to $4.99, it asks me to sign into microsoft account, i sign in with account with american address, and it sends me to checkout but without the promo code applied. Help anyone?

  • My Two Cents on 28/05/2013 - 08:50

    i got my points the next day after ordering, i bought 2400.

  • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2013 - 09:43

    Think I'll open a PayPal disupute against Microsoft, get my money back and cost them some staff time to respond.

    • ZRXS12 on 28/05/2013 - 09:49

      • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2013 - 09:52

        Sounds like you haven't used PayPals "Resolution Centre" before.

        One of the categories of purchase is the following:

        "Virtual Goods - Delivered Electronically"

        Have fun being ignorant for life.

          https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full?cou…

          Your purchase is for a tangible good that can be shipped. For the avoidance of doubt, the PayPal Buyer Protection Policy does not apply to:
          Intangibles (for example digitally delivered goods), although we may cover intangibles which have been transferred to a physical media (such as paper or CD-ROM) and shipped;
          Services;
          Licences and other access to digital content;
          Travel tickets; or
          Sale of business

          Which is why you should always pay for goods such as these using your CC as the funding source.

          But I guess you know best don't you.

        • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2013 - 11:12

          My past experience tells a different story.

          Although it's possible PayPal have amended the user agreement.

          But from what you have posted above, it does in fact sound like Microsoft can steal money without delivering.

  • Captain Howdy on 28/05/2013 - 13:23

    What would be the process if you paid via debit/credit card and don't receive the code? Is there an avenue to put in a claim?

    • ZRXS12 on 28/05/2013 - 15:38

      If you've paid via Mastercard or Visa I would personally leave it 3 days to see if they process your refund of their own accord, if not give them a call.
      If you can't resolve it after say ten days contact your bank to initiate a charge back.

      • Keef on 28/05/2013 - 16:28

          Lets see..

          Digital purchase: check.
          Funds deducted: check.
          E-mail confirmation: no.
          Order history in MS account: no.
          Delivered purchase: no.

          Correct me if I'm wrong but Microsoft are a pretty big company which have, more or less, been creating software since the beginnings of computers.

          I would've thought operating an e-store is childs play.

        • Captain Howdy on 28/05/2013 - 18:15

          ZRXS12, thanks for the help. Sound like a good action plan.

          As scytherbladez implied, the order process is very odd. Unlike any I've dealt with before. Being Microsoft, you'd think it'd be much more clear what's going on.

        • mackaxx on 28/05/2013 - 19:06

          One of my 3 purchases went through and there was no email confirmation pre point arrival and no order history so it looks like several of the steps aren't necessary.

  • DarkNexy on 28/05/2013 - 13:27

    Been charged through paypal n still waiting for microsoft to say something. Sigh..

  • CyberMurning on 28/05/2013 - 13:49

    I used my own code I got on 25may and paid PayPal, no confirmation or cancellation, called MS they said order didn't go through, so I filed case with PayPal today.

    today I tried again using other people code, same thing pay via PayPal and just in 10 mins I got confirmation from MS with code!

    so, now my account is USA. If I redeem the points now, and in 3 months time I change my region back to AU, will I still have the point???

    • [Deactivated] on 28/05/2013 - 14:07

      Standard procedure, applies to both seller and buyer.

      If one party doesn't respond within the time frame, the case automatically goes against the non-respondant.

    • aussieude on 28/05/2013 - 15:05

      Yes, if you change your account from US to AU your points will go with you. You can only change from region to region with your account once every 3 or 6 months.

      I did this with my US account. Added lots of points and went to buy some GoD and they would not let me buy them due to the region I was in even though had US account so I swapped back over.

      Hope this helps http://support.xbox.com/en-US/billing-and-subscriptions/acco…

  • aussieude on 28/05/2013 - 14:11

    I ordered a code yesterday and got an email within an hour with the code which I paid via Papal. This morning I ordered another one but paid via CC, been few hours and no code. I will wait until end of the week then I will talk to the bank.

  • star64 on 28/05/2013 - 15:06

    Just tried before and go this message:
    We’re sorry, but the offer that was previously applied to your order is no longer available. Please check your cart before completing your purchase.

  • intothefray on 28/05/2013 - 17:10

    Ordered mine two days ago, Paypal still "in progress". Guess thats better than canceled….maybe.

    • Sherlock_ on 28/05/2013 - 17:17

      Me too.

      Made a second account and put in another order just incase.

    • ZRXS12 on 28/05/2013 - 17:18

      Ordered 1 a few days ago with paypal and they cancelled the purchase and locked the MS account I used to do that.
      Yesterday registered another account, made 2 purchases with Mastercard received first purchase but the second one never materialized, today I ordered again and the code just came through :)

      So I'd suggest trying again with another account and Master or Visa.

      • Sherlock_ on 28/05/2013 - 17:37

        Ok, the one I just made came straight through. I can't cancel the four I made 2 days ago, I can't even contact support about it because they're not in my order history.

        • ZRXS12 on 28/05/2013 - 17:57

          Did you pay with CC or Paypal?
          If it was Paypal you could try contacting them with the transaction ID.
          If it's CC it most likely hasn't even cleared yet.

        • CyberMurning on 28/05/2013 - 18:16

      • yacman on 28/05/2013 - 21:41

        I can not add my mastercard, I have spoken to support it is because apprently I have an australian billing address, how were you able to use your creditcard? I cant add paypal either I get an error message, so I cant make purchases :(

        • ZRXS12 on 28/05/2013 - 21:49

          I just gave a US address for my billing address. Just look one up on google maps.
          I think you should try with a fresh account.

        • yacman on 28/05/2013 - 22:50

          Thanks for the responce but I get an error when I try add it with a US address, and after speaking with support they said when they check it with the credit card company to charge me, they will bounce the order and cancel it because the 2 addresses don't match up.. but I'll try work something out thanks anyway.

  • ozzimozzie on 28/05/2013 - 18:58

    well I ordered 6 lots using several codes. They all went through Paypal, all got deducted from my bank account just this morning but so far have only received 2 of the codes. Await the last four now I guess, 24 hours after the first lot were delivered… Very odd.

  • yacman on 29/05/2013 - 04:45

    Just letting everyone know the bad news, the deal is dead :(

    Good Luck to the people who managed to at least get an order to process, 3 days of trying hard staying up till 5 A.M and not a single code or pending transaction :(

    Microsoft have finally killed the codes, there is a rumor going around that if a code was never used it will still work, so if anyone has any spare they no longer need due to getting their fair share, a PM with what ever you have would be appreciated :)

    Alot of people blame a guy who goes by Dirkmandoo for being what we would call broden he posted a transcript of himself directly communicating with Microsoft staff bragging about his purchases. I copied bellow for anyone interested.

    QUOTE Dirkmandoo:

    "Was having a little fun..

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Store. An Answer Tech will be with you shortly.

    Privacy Statement
    You are now chatting with 'Shawn'.

    Shawn: Thanks for contacting Microsoft Store Chat! My name is Shawn, how can I help you today?

    You: Will all 10 off 10 orders be fulfilled?

    Shawn: What is the scenario you are facing?

    Shawn: Are you referring to using the $10 codes on XBOX points?

    You: Well.. Me and about half the internet spent our life savings on XBOX codes and we would like to know if they will be fulfilled..

    Shawn: Unfortunately, the terms and conditions state specifically that the promotion is one per person. So using the same code multiple times, or multiple codes, that goes against the terms and conditions of the Promotion. Due to this, orders are taking a longer time to process, even for those that did follow the terms and conditions. I do apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. All that I can recommend is that you wait the 72 hours that this could take to process.

    Shawn: If the order is not successfully placed the pre-authorization charge on your card will be released, and if it is successfully placed you will get the confirmation email containing all needed items to use the product.

    You: Perfect!

    Shawn: One thing I can promise is that no money will be taken for a product you do not receive.

    You: Good. Out of the 120 orders I placed only 100 have been fulfilled. I am starting to get worried here

    Shawn: Is there anything else I can assist you with today?

    You: Yes, Have you encountered many people like myself ordering lots of points?

    Shawn: It has been ongoing for the last week, yes.

    You: If Microsoft was against this, why did they allow it to go on for so long? I am sure a monkey could do better than your IT team..

    Shawn: I wish I had an answer for that one, I am sorry.

    You: It's completely okay!!! I am very happy to buy more and more codes.

    You: Have a great day"

    Realistically the main reason this probably died now is because it was a long weekend in the U.S and staff were probably back at the office this morning their time to discover the issue.
