Gifts cards and XBOX LIVE GOL PROMO with error code

Thanks Darkplayer 2. I am looking to buy the Xbox gift card from an online vendor, like NewEgg, Amazon, etc... Which they occasionally have promo codes that will discount the Xbox gift card by 20%. So the $50 gift card would only cost me $40 after the
promo code.

This is good to know, b/c one review I read somewhere said the $50 card does not cover the everything and they could not split the transaction to cover the tax.

Thanks but i wasnt talking about an Xbox Gift Card but a Microsoft (Store) Gift Card (Microsoft Currency) since it is directly Microsoft shouldnt it work on promo-code for Dev mode payment ?

Hey SoberRanger!

Where you used a pre paid card to renew you won't get the free gift card. you had to renew during the promo period on the xbox dashboard via xbox live buy selecting the promo ad and so on buying the renewal online.

here you go:

Error 80122725 occurs when you try to redeem a gift card on Xbox Live

Problem

You see the following error message when you try to redeem a gift card code on Xbox Live:

Can’t retrieve information from Xbox Live. Please try again later.

Status Code: 80122725

This means that the card was not activated at the retailer.

Solution

To resolve this issue, return the card to the retailer and ask them to activate it.

hope that helps

I thought that as well, but when trying to buy a game off the microsoftstore.com website it still redirects you to store.xbox.com and at purchase it still doesn't show a promo code option for me. unless I jut can't buy games with the promo code but since
it's a microsoft promo code, basically a digital gift card I don't see why I wouldn't be able to.
