i doubt we would get banned for using a code XD
code redeemed but doesn't add my current 24m subscription. Still expires on the same period.
The code worked but didnt extend my xbox live subscription
same here……ozbargained i guess
Another 12montb added expires sep 2018 😂 Cheers OP
Wondering if you tried recently or took a while to post?
Thank you
You now own Xbox Live 12 Month Online Subscription
If this product is part of Xbox One Backward Compatibility, it will appear in the Ready to Install section of My Games & Apps when it becomes available.But Didnt Actually Do Anything Tried Via Web, App And on The Xbox
When I put the code into my Xbox 360 I get invalid code
I redemmed using a windows PC. How do I check if the 12 months has been applied?
Eh, I feel like this is borderline stealing. It'll probably be reversed too.
Didn't work to redeem it on my xbox 360 but it worked on xbox.com and received fallowing message, although i still not have gold on my xbox (unless it takes some time to appear)
USE PREPAID CODE
Success!
You now own Xbox Live 12 Month Online Subscription.Think it doesn't work but says it does like everyone else
thats what it said for everyone. it hasnt worked yet…
Success BUT didn't stack :/
Didn't seem to extend my subscription time. Oh well.
Didn't work for me either
Wow it worked, thanks!
Code redeems but doesn't effect subscription expiry date or status… Suspect it is a Microsoft testing code as suggested by a previous poster.
Thanks anyway Jose!Note: tried in both the Xbox Store (Redeem a code) and using the web based account management page linked, both appear as though the redemption has been successful but neither method effects any change to the subscription expiry date.
nope, nothing - 12 month subscription successful but nothing added to the account.
Could have been the "Deal of the Year".. but didnt work.. oh well..
Anyone know how to check Xbox Gold Expiration after you apply the code?
Click on your profile in the top right corner and click on subscriptions.
Code was accepted, however under the 'subscriptions' sub menu it's still showing as cancelled on x date. Seems to be hit and miss, unfortunately it was a miss for me.
¡Correcto!
Ahora tienes Xbox Live 12 Month Online Subscription.Now I need to find my dusty Xbox360 from the shed tonight to check if this is really successfully applied.
=====================
No it's not showing at subscription tab under my account, so I assume that's a NO.I've tried on two different accounts. The code will be accepted however when checking your subscription nothing changes. No deal.
upvoted and I don't have an Xbox !
IThis deal is such a tease, looked like it was working. Hopefully it worked for others
It said success for me but the expiry date remains the same. Therefore it didnt work.
Tried on my account which expire on 2018 and nothing have changed. Tried on new account which never had xbox live before and still nothing changed :\
As others have stated, doesn't actually extend subscription.
Can we please downvote this. It clearly doesn't work (even though it says success), your subscription date doesn't change.
It didn't work for me but don't think down voting is right thing to do. It's free to give a try and if it works for even 5% of people also is a great deal. If down voted and removed from front page not many people will know about the deal.
Ummm, that's exactly what the downvote button is for.
Unless you think wasting everyone's time and bandwidth is a good idea, which it isn't.
EDIT: What kind of numpty goes around downvoting the comments telling people this deal is false but then upvotes yours saying it should still be left up? Fite mi bro.
I think let people decide whether they want to waste their time or not. It's almost $80 savings if it works. Just because it didn't for you or me you think no one else should know about this deal?
So now you want the people to decide? Before you were saying down voting is the wrong thing to do!
Conflicted much?
@c0balt: And where did I suggest let people decide on downvoting? I only said let people decide whether to waste time or not because apparently it's a waste of time in your opinion to spend couple of minutes to see if you can get a $80 savings. If you are here to only argue then I admit defeat because I have better things to do than waste time in irrational arguments.
How is downvoting not the right thing to do? That's the whole point of the voting system. If it's not a deal, it should be downvoted. Geez, this isn't a popularity contest. Maybe you should be browsing Reddit instead of OzBargain.
Tried on Xbox.com. Said Success but didn't actually change expiry date.
Error: Something went wrong.
false
2016/11/28 - 03:55:38 UTCMods pls confirm that this is false and delete.
Redeemed via phone app. How do you check if the subscription is active? Have jumped through a few pages, but couldn't see anything to suggest Gold is active. Probably means it isn't!
Microsoft will absolutely revoke the code for anyone that has successfully claimed it. The fact that it's a single code will make it even easier for them to do so. As OP correctly stated in title, this is a bug.
Who knows how many forums/websites it's now been shared on. It wont go unnoticed or unchanged by Microsoft. I'm not being negative, I appreciate the OP sharing, but Microsoft has shown in the past that dodgy/error/buggy redemption codes get revoked.
Redeemed and it says you now have 12 months Xbox live subscription. Good grounds for complaint if they're lying.
Confirm this by logging into your xbox/live account on a PC browser and looking at your active subscriptions, or turn on your xbox and have a look at your live subscription details.
You would complain that a free code you found on a forum didn't work. You must be fun at parties.
Please, please can you try and complain?
Seems like a good use of your time.
All redemption codes are subject to Microsofts terms and conditions. Who are you going to complain to?
Hey only a suggestion, nothing ventured nothing gained.
But mine worked :))
The original german forum thread now says that the code has been corrected and revoked
It worked for me
Doesn't work :(
Still one month.
Does not work
Lol at the people negging cause it didn't work for them. It definitely worked on mine, and others. And I know how to check…
wouldn't mind an update if you keep it (hopefully) and its not revoked
yeah, easy way to check, click on subscriptions and it will show every code/purchase that has even been redeemed/placed on your account.
It may have worked for you, but you won't be keeping it for too long.
I didn't think it would be kept, as I have suggested earlier, but it's no reason to neg a deal when it did work atm.
It initially worked tho after checking 1 Hour later subscription date still existing membership..:(
Shows that it accepted the code but upon checking, it didn't go through. Not a gold member though. Maybe it only works to gold members already??
Yup, redeems but adds nothing to my account. Stil have gold expiring in 15 days.
Also I usually buy prepaid cards and redeem them, maybe that's why it won't work for us. The people that have added 12 years could be monthly payment people. Who knows. As worth a shot.
Thanks anyway.
Where is this code coming from? Is it legit?
Using a generated code will cause account ban. I am pretty sure about this, someone I know was banned because he purchased a cheap generated code.It actually worked! Straight away went to 'subscriptions' and it has extended by one year! Thanks op 😄
No it didnt champ.
Sorry 'champ', it did for me.
I have no doubt Microsoft will remove it but my subscription now runs to 5/12/17.
It says 'code not found' for me :(
https://m.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/5fabhl/take_caution_…
All redemptions will be revoked. No account bans for people that redeemed the code.
well no shit this was going to happen, this websites filled with retards
Yes, was always going to happen. Not sure about ozbargain being full of retards, seems a bit harsh.
Folks, I think it worked for people whose gold account got expired long time ago or atleast few months ago.
Ones expired recently or still on gold subscription didn't show anything.Surprised how few users negged based on comments like: as others stated it does not work, even when few users said it worked.
One of my account expired recently and it didn't work.
On another old account it worked and subscription was added for 3 months though. Can't check on Xbox as I don't play on Xbox anymore.Code seems to be not working now. Congrats for those who got it working.
I still had around 22 months on my subscription left, you are only allowed 24 months max I believe. It added another 12 months to mine still, and it's expiring 9/2019. Just checked again and it's still showing.
evidence or it never happened!
I'm not the only one here.
How would an evidence from fellow ozbargainer change your situation?
I think I lost my go hold for $1:( today us the last day for this offer.
This no longer works, been fixed by Microsoft.
