Currently, Microsoft allows the use of codes for 48 hours only from the console. The code does not always work on older accounts. It may be necessary to create a new account. Claims in this regard are not accepted.

The code does not always work on older accounts. Most likely, you will need to create a new account in order to be able to network play. By purchasing this product, you agree to this condition, and without the possibility of filing a claim in the future. For the proper operation of the Xbox Live service, Microsoft is fully responsible.


!!! Codes are valid only for SILVER accounts, if your GOLD or GAMEPLAY account has a status (trial gold status), then the code will not be activated. After the GOLD or GAMEPLAY status expires, the code can be activated.

In very rare cases:
If you get an error "code is not valid", then change the region to the United States (https://store.xbox.com/Shell/ChangeLocale), activate the code (https://live.xbox.com/en-US/ RedeemToken), and then change the region back to Russia.

Activation from Xbox:
1. Connect your Xbox to the Internet.
2. Click the “Xbox® Guide” button, and select “Xbox LIVE” on the main page.
3. Follow the instructions to create an Xbox Live account.
4. Log in to your account.
1) We go to the website http://www.xbox.com/en-US or corresponding to your region
2) In the upper right corner of Sign In.
3) Enter your data and go.
4) Go to the Marketplace
5) Go to the Redeem Code
6) Enter the Prepaid Code

After activating the code, the status of your account will not change and SILVER will remain, but your account will have some opportunities for the GOLD status. If the GOLD or GAMEPLAY status has not expired, the code will not be activated. After the GOLD or GAMEPLAY status expires, the code can be activated.
If an “unknown error” occurs while trying to activate, then change the language of xbox.com to English, that is, “United States” and everything will activate without problems. Please note that you will only change the language layout on the site, and not the region of the account.

ATTENTION!!! - THIS IS NOT A GOLD STATUS, but LIVE GAMEPLAY STATUS. You can play online with other players (except World of Tanks and some premium games, a list of which is compiled by Microsoft) and download limited content.
LIVE GAMEPLAY STATUS gives almost all the features that GOLD status is, however you can’t access other websites from your console (youtube.com / google.com and others).

ATTENTION!!! - You will not be able to activate this code if the action of your GOLD subscription is not yet completed for any reason, or the action of another LIVE Gameplay code is not completed. ONLY when the status of your account is SILVER again, you can activate this code and play on the network.

Cards can be entered only one after another, i.e. provided that the previous 2 days have already been used (if the subscription has not ended yet, then you can not replenish with another card).
