12 Months of Xbox Live Gold.

Cheapest I can find at the moment.

I paid via Paypal and got code instantly.

Set VPN to Brazil, opened new incognito window and logged into my xbox account and applied code successfully.
Fired up my XBone and 12mths of Gold applied.

I beleive code MUST be applied via internet browser logged into xbox account. It won't work if tried through console directly.

UPDATE:
if you have a current sub from a Australia or any country other than Brazil this may not work. You might have to wait until you have no active subscription to apply.

    xbox live is region locked now?

      just to apply the code for the Live gold. Once its applied you can disable VPN and log into account as normal.

      • sprof on 29/09/2018 - 21:08

        Xbox live used to be region free but it says Brazil I understand u can use a vpn but didn't know it was region based now

    • Seven8Nine on 29/09/2018 - 21:12

      Don't think so, you can change the region via webpage and apply redeem code from there same as Xbox gift card.

      I could be wrong if anything changes recently. I bought it anyway, will update you guys if this works without VPN.

      Update : VPN required to redeem the code on Xbox site

  • ciyborg on 29/09/2018 - 21:37

    Also of note, you cannot stack xbox live gold if you previously activated a xbl gold code from a different region.

      Worked for me dude, I still have Gold until the 10th of next month and that was from a year long code, can't remember if Aussie or American, but either one isn't Brazil, and this one went through fine for me.

      • ciyborg on 30/09/2018 - 00:37

        you must not have an ongoing subscription from your previous activation for this to work. Thats what I mean. Because I had a Brazilian subscription and Australian didn't activate

        • DryScissors on 30/09/2018 - 11:37

          I recently hit the same problem with my Hungarian EA Access subscription. I eventually was able to redeem my AU codes by switching the VPN back to Hungary.

        • ShortyX on 18/10/2018 - 19:30

          you must not have an ongoing subscription from your previous activation for this to work.

          I’m still not sure what you mean.

    VPN is NOT required.

    I just clicked the link, worked fine, bought it with my PayPal, checked my bank account, got charged the exact right amount (forgot to check if the 5% FB like thing applies to this deal, oh well), and the code was emailed through instantly.

    Thanks OP. My sub ends in literally 2 weeks and I wasn't intending on renewing, but (profanity) it, at that price, why not.

    • Mal68 on 29/09/2018 - 22:01

      I think he means VPN required to redeem the code

      • TheDukeOfNukem on 29/09/2018 - 22:18

        Didn't use one at all, just did it in a standard incognito page.

        In fact, I actually got a bonus month for free by turning on auto renewal, which I then turned off immediately and still got the extra month, I'm all paid up until November next year now.

  • rapkhan on 29/09/2018 - 22:23

    Good find!!!! got sorted me xbox

  • Skellysgirl on 29/09/2018 - 22:48

    I have just tried this, bought the code it came through straight away all good.
    I put the VPN on connected via Brazil and went to Xbox using the translate option. I clicked on redeem code and it took the code but warned me that as I had a current subscription from a different region it might not accept the code. When I clicked confirm it refused the code. It runs out in the next week so I will retry then.

    • ciyborg on 30/09/2018 - 01:46

      yep same problem. Will be waiting till expiry to try again

    • zhaoweizhi on 30/09/2018 - 11:43

      I have 11 month xbox live gold (Australia) from last cashrewards promotion left, just turn off auto-subscription firstly, use vpn to redeem the Brazil xbox code, got 13 months after accepting turn on auto-subscription while redemption, then turn off auto-subscription again, all done!

      • Skellysgirl on 30/09/2018 - 13:33
        +1

        I don't have auto-renew on. Tried this twice, using VPN, but it did not work. Must just be different for some people. I will just have to wait till the end of this subscription, It's coming up soon so I will advise if it works ASAP.

    • Skellysgirl on 06/10/2018 - 09:26

      UPDATE - my sub ran out this week, I just put the code in and it worked flawlessly. it seems you just have to wait till the end of the subscription in some cases.

  • NesianMystik on 29/09/2018 - 22:57

    Thx OP worked for me got 2 thinking of grabbing another

    Beware. Apparent advice from Xbox Live Support:

    "Some codes from Mexico and Brazil will be redeemed outside these regions without hitting the region lock error. This is a temporary issue and does not mean that your subscription will be guaranteed valid. Your subscription may be invalidated at any time without notice."

    Go damn it now I've got a code that may or may not work after my current subscription. Be a bit clearer please OP, I wouldn't of purchased if I known.

    • MaximumEffort777 on 30/09/2018 - 09:45
      +3

      These things have always been done at your own risk, don't blame the OP. Just like after years MS decided to ban some people's Xbox accounts for a couple of weeks after making purchases from other regions via various methods recently.

      • Tasmaniac on 30/09/2018 - 11:12
        +2

        No that's not just like at all. Your equating something that happened without any warning to an issue that has all the information available before the post.

        I was harsh with the OP though, my apologies.

        • MaximumEffort777 on 30/09/2018 - 12:22
          +1

          No, the warnings have always been there in both instances and people have ALWAYS done both at their own risk, whether they’ve bothered to research it themselves beforehand or not.

          FWIW…only a month ago I redeemed a Brazilian code on a current AU Live subscription without any issues so it’s quite possible that the OP had not experienced the issue to make people aware of.

          These things are covered one way or another in Microsoft’s ToS and at any time they can decide to act on it, whether it’s random or some other algorithm they use.

    • caspochek on 30/09/2018 - 10:22

      I was as clear as I could be, I'm sorry I didn't have a current sub prior to purchasing. Next time I'll try harder.

      • ShortyX on 30/09/2018 - 11:16
        +1

        FWIW, there were some warning signs in the comments.

      • Skellysgirl on 30/09/2018 - 13:38

        I was aware before buying, you gotta be in it to win it thanks for sharing.

    • DryScissors on 30/09/2018 - 11:41

      Wouldn’t have*

    • zhaoweizhi on 30/09/2018 - 11:51

      Donot worry, the code works. I have 11 month xbox live gold (Australia) from last cashrewards promotion left, just turn off auto-subscription firstly, use vpn to redeem the Brazil xbox code, got 13 months after accepting turn on auto-subscription while redemption, then turn off auto-subscription again, all done!

      The real issue now becomes no sure whether Microsoft allows us purchase/redeem another code from different regions exclude Brazil, according to my research, some players could only purchase/redeem xbox live from Brazil until the current xbox gold live subscription from Brazil ends. For example, sometimes xbox live from Argentina are cheaper than Brazil, but you cannot redeem it before current subscription ends. No every player has this issue.

      But I think xbox live from Brazil is always cheapest in the market, so I do not mind keep purchasing xbox live codes from Brazil and redeem it by vpn.

    • SlappersOnly on 18/10/2018 - 10:46

      Pretty clear mate. Also he did say to redeem using a VPN. The warning is clearly for those that despite being told to use a VPN chose to ignore that advise and redeem it without one

  • petry on 30/09/2018 - 11:09

    Microsoft xbox game purchases used to - used to being the operative word - have as a selling point the global purchase - not just region restricted like playstation.

    By making these changes and altering global useage Microsoft is doing away with that competitive advantage to save pennies really. Its good to see that strategically Microsoft have become so short termism and are just pursuing short term profits because that means they have become 2 arrogant commercially. The xbox one x is the best console currently but rescinding global shop just undermined that big time. A halfway house on this is useless, so Sony have just been given a leg up by the Microsoft changes.

    • SlappersOnly on 18/10/2018 - 10:51

      I think it’s still global except for a few countries that are known to be excesssively cheap and being exploited. Argentina which has most games for about a third of the price of Australian games has been restricted so that you can’t use gift cards and need a credit card from Argentina to purchase from their store.

  • rowshow on 30/09/2018 - 13:36

    After a few failed attempts it worked.

    Change region of console in setting

    Add new card (can be Aussie) make address random then google a Brazilian postcode.

    Then jump onto browser and use hola to browse Brazil Xbox.

    Enter code

    Restart console.

    After about 10 failures this was the only method that worked for me

    I cannot get mine to work. Whenever, I go to type in the key it says my microsoft account is Australia. This is even using a VPN changing to Brazil, setting recurring billing off, changing my address book to a Brazil address. I sent an email to cdkeys but i wont hold my breath.

    • zhaoweizhi on 30/09/2018 - 17:02

      which vpn you used? try tunnelbear, some vpn donot work, it happened before.

      • p3nf0ld on 30/09/2018 - 17:23

        Before I enter the code it says:

        It will be added to ****@outlook.com (Australia)

        • caspochek on 30/09/2018 - 17:26

          Try deleting history, cookies etc and then try again.

          • p3nf0ld on 30/09/2018 - 18:20

            @caspochek: Changing to tunnelbear got me further. But now it says you have a subscription from a different region :(

    • caspochek on 30/09/2018 - 17:22

      Are you trying on your console or Web browser? I did it using Chrome on my pc, opened a new incognito window and set to Brazil using windscribe VPN.

      Hope this helps.

      • p3nf0ld on 30/09/2018 - 17:26

        Yeh, I'm using incognito mode on Chrome with torguard but it seems to know my account is Australian. Before I enter the code it says: It will be added to ****@outlook.com (Australia)

    Hope this Help :)

    • ruddiger7 on 01/10/2018 - 09:58

      Thanks, worked well. I was worried when MS sent the text message to confirm it is me when logging into my account and then it said @email account (Australia) but it still worked and added fine.

    Confirming that it just worked for me.

    Doesn't work with TorGuard, but worked with Windscribe for some reason. Gave an extra month as well for ticking auto-renewal which is awesome.

    Don't forget the extra 5% off

      What do you mean? Purchased a second one but unable to redeem? Or the redeemed subscription is reversed？

      • tariqsaleem on 14/10/2018 - 11:10

        The redeemed subscription got reversed.

        If I try and redeem the same code I get a message saying the code has already been used so can't do that either.

        • zhaoweizhi on 14/10/2018 - 11:53

    Still works! did this over the weekend Brazil VPN to purchase and Brazil VPN to redeem! thx for the share.

  • djc on 03/11/2018 - 10:50

    I bought the CD Key successfully (for those who don't know above, you don't need a VPN for this part).

    I tried to Redeem the Code via xbox.com using Google Chrome (in Incognito Mode) and was denied due to region block. So I turned on Tunnel Bear (Google Chrome Extension) and tried again and was successful.

    If you still fail with the region block, try changing your account to an address in Brazil (use Google Maps) before Redeeming the Code.

    I've just checked my account and it says AU$79.95 every 12 months, next charge on 12/2/2019. Now, when you first see this, you will be a little surprised but keep in mind that this is American (MM/DD/YYYY).

    I hope this helps you all :)
