You also may be the victim of a stolen code. There is software out there that generates random acceptable codes for Microsoft Points with out having to buy a card. It's a little more hi-tech way to steal a card without actually stealing the card. works for the person who stole it, but when the actual card is purchased it of course doesn't. Calling microsoft will accomplish 2 things, they will give you a new code AND use the old number to find out what live account used it first (the theif). If they get enuff of these types of "HITS" on a live acount, they ban and prosecute criminally. cool ,huh?

I love a good conspiracy theory as much as anyone else, don't get me wrong, but wouldn't it just simply tell him that the code had already been used if that were the case?

When did you redeem the point because a few days a go Microsoft was having difficulties with the market place and alot of people my friend included were not able to redeem their point cards. My friend I witnessed him redeem the card and it said the points have been added but his balance was still 0, and now he's still in a battle with microsuck trying to get it fixed...

i have xbox added on facebook. They said a few days ago the point system was not working right. However this morning they made a post saying they fixed the issue. I would call microsoft and see if they're still having problems. Tell them you heard there were problems and ur card wont work. They may put in the card in for u on there end.
