Author Topic: I cant redeem my microsoft points  (Read 1175 times)

So as most of you know minecraft came out on xbox yesterday.
i really wanted it and i had no money so my good friend gave me a 1600 microsoft point card brand new.
so im on my xbox and i press "redeem code".
i type in the 25 didget code and press done.
then it wants me to confirm so i press yes and an error message pops up saying:

Can't retrieve information from Xbox LIVE.
Status code: 801613FB

so i try again and it says the same thing.
so i googled the error message and it says this:

Wait 24 hours and try again. If the card does not work 24 hours after purchase, please take the card back to the retailer and ask them to activate it.

i dont want to wait 24 god damn hours to play minecraft. does anyone know why it does this? or can someone give me some advice?

Also:
is there a place i can redeem the code online for my account on xbox?


take the card back to the retailer and ask them to activate it.

It would say that the code has already been redeemed to something like that.

You don't go around giving people microsoft points for no reason (even if a friend)
He probably stole it and gave it to you so he wouldn't be caught.
