I got a game called spider heck from a friend but the code doesn't let me redeem it but we...

Your friend would have to return the purchase and they could buy the game from a place that sells codes for your region.

so what if my xbox code im trying to redeem doesn't redeem, and lets say i try to redeem it before and after the expiration date. and it still doesn't work, then what do i do? do i get the 1 month xbox ultimate for free? this is happening to my friends and mine account. we are trying to redeem the codes, we put the code into the redemption thing. and when we hit "submit" nothing happens.

Ill tell you what the mod told me, give it away on Twitter or to a friend in need. Heck give it to the OP if you want. Ive got a few people on my F/L who didnt preorder who will be receiving my extra codes since I redeemed two codes.

Changing region doesn't let you purchase stuff from the store for that region or redeem gifted codes. The best work around I found was having a friend from that region redeem the gift code so that I could have the content, I'm sure this would also work
with purchases. Other than that I don't have any other suggestions, let me know if it works.

Hi. I read your comment and it still doesn't help. The Peacock website is asking me to redeem a code from my Xbox Games Pass. I never received a code. I just got the QR code to open the website. So I cannot redeem something that I don't have.
