I cannot redeem my prepaid 3M xbox live gold membership code.

I opened my guide and clicked on redeem code. I then typed in my code and clicked enter when it then told me that the code is a 3M Prepaid Gold so I clicked redeem for the second time and I got "There is a problem with the Xbox Services, please try again
later". Status Code: 80161C3

It is annoying me that this is happening and hasn't yet been resolved when my Xbox Live Gold membership runs out in 4 days...

Sign in to Xbox LIVE with the account for which you want to use the prepaid code.

Press the Guide button on the controller.

Go to Games & Apps and select Redeem Code.

Enter the 25-character prepaid code and select Done.

When prompted, click Yes to confirm the redemption.

Here is what happens to your account when you redeem different types of prepaid codes:

Xbox 360 Entertainment For All Plan: You cannot “stack” or combine prepaid subscriptions during the life of the contract.

Xbox LIVE Gold Membership: An Xbox LIVE Gold Membership is added to your account, or an existing membership is extended.

Microsoft Points: Microsoft Points are added to your account.

Xbox LIVE Marketplace content: The content is added to your account and begins downloading.

Hello,

I just got, 3 months Gold membership prepaid card. Now I've been trying to redeem code from hours now but so far without success. I've tried them on console itself and PC.

On console I get error that the code is not valid and on website, it recognize the code like "Prepaid 3M Xbox LIVE Gold" but when I click on confirm it says "Something went wrong", try again later.

I tried change locale, but also without success. I am from Lithuania.

Maybe can help?

You cannot use your account balance to purchase an Xbox Live Gold subscription. You can use Xbox Live Gold membership cards. They come in one month, 3 month, and year memberships. It's the same kinda thing, a prepaid code that gets redeemed to your account
and adds the number of months you have purchased. The gift cards with the dollar amounts that get added to your account cannot be used to buy a membership

I too cannot redeem my prepaid 12month gold xbox live membership card on my Xbox one, It says something went wrong after it already confirms that it's a valid card and what it is redeemable for,

I do not have any fraud or suspicious behavior and I can't redeem my code, This isn't my problem either, It's MS problem like above me said, Fix it!
