Has anyone ever had a problem redeeming a code? I'm trying to redeem the 500pts I got with GTA4 and it's saying code is invalid despite checking it 5 times and re-entering it. I just don't get it.
I also tried entering the code online via my profile on xbox.com.au and it gave the same error so it can't be cache, thanks though. I just don't get it, it's bullshit. I sent an email to microsoft anyway, I've heard of time limits to use points that have been given for free but never time limits to activate them. The fact that there's no mention of a time limit whatsoever surely means that they can't do this.
JUNSome promotional Microsoft Points expire soon

Microsoft PointsGTA IV was a huge deal for retailers this year, so much so that many of them decided they'd throw in freebies when people bought the game. Many stores handed out free Microsoft Points to players and a popular idea for the use of the credits was to put them towards the GTA IV DLC which will be arriving in a few months.
GTAGaming reader Evan has written in today to alert us to the fact that some of the promotional points will be expiring today. Notably the 500 points that GAME awarded to customers will be rendered useless at midnight tonight. You've got just a few hours to spend them and if you don't manage it by the time the expiry date passes you'll be out of luck.
If you received points with your copy of the game and want to check if they expire, visit the Microsoft Billing website. Once you discover whether your points will expire, please let others know in the comments section of this news post.
even if u redeemed it, u still had to use it by a certain date
I was complaining about this in another thread - activated them right away but they disappeared. From 900 to 400 MS points. Absolutely pathetic and reason for me not to be interested in the Marketplace.
I cracked one of mine open the other day and tried it out of curiosity and it didn't work... but my housemate just punched the same code in under his profile, activated the points successfully and is downloading the Legendary map pack right now. WTF?
A different one just worked fine on my account. It might be worth trying yours again Madmya and Pimpn Drop Bear, they might have reactivated them or something.
