Prepaid code error 0x80153005 but the content is still available

Hey, guys! This thread is a bit old, and the original poster has not returned. This generally means that they've been resolved and no longer needs help.

That error code means that the code has expired. There is nothing we are able to do with expired codes. You will need to purchase the content from Xbox Live if it's available and let the retailer know that the token has expired to try to get a refund.

If you need assistance with any other support issue, please post up a new detailed thread so that our community can work on helping you out. Thanks for understanding!

I have almost the exact same problem as Rocrom Alpha, except that I was able to download Far Cry Classic. But my Far Cry 3 - Blood Dragon code won't redeem because of the same error.

Is there an update on this issue yet?

Thanks HyruleBalverine,

But it still doesn't work. It appears the game my activation code should unlock IS available on Xbox Live, but it still doesn't work. I'm disappointed and bored of re-entering the same codes in the "redeem a code" section over and over again while can't
download the game I paid for and can't contact Xbox support over the phone.

Hi HyruleBalverine

After a careful check, I can affirm that none of my activation codes included in my Far Cry: the wild expedition game have expiration dates. It's just stated "one time use only" without any further notice.

Codes are for Far Cry Classic / Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon and Far Cry 3 multiplayer Uplay passport.

Do you have any suggestions? I don't know what to do with it.

Exactly the same code issue error 0x80153005 for my redeem codes on Far Cry: The Wild Expedition.

My Xbox 360 tells me the code isn't valid.

On Xbox.com, the codes are refering to the DLCs and when I click on "accept" > 0x80153005 and try again later.

I paid that game and can't download my content. I don't want to wait again and have thoses codes perempted.

Please, help Xbox support.
