Trial codes won't redeem, say I am already a gold member?

Hi! The subject is pretty self explanatory, I've tried to redeem two different codes, they are both valid, and ask me to confirm their use. When I do, it says I should give them to a friend because I already have gold? I definitely haven't or I wouldn't
be redeeming codes. I have never bought gold, but i've used a trial code before for the halo 5 beta, and it worked fine yet. Thanks for reading, sorry it is all in one paragraph, but the xbox 1 onscreen keyboard doesn't have a line break button.

Xbox Live Code error Xbos-0x80169CF9

I don't know if anyone else already posted the solution to this, but a friend had the same issue with the same error. The problem was, he was trying to redeem a code over a trial gold. Live Gold and Gold Trial, doesn't mix up, that's why the solution is
to let the gold subsciption end and then redeem the code. So if you have a Live Gold and try to redeem a Trial code (like the one included with the xbox) or the other way around, it won't work.

Are you having a problem redeeming a code or are you looking for one?

The following article will tell you how you can get a trial:

This next article will tell you how to redeem a code if you already have one:

You're showing as gold here. You may want to check your subscriptions at

Ok thanks for the reply, but my xbox is saying I don't have gold. I'm not sure what is up with my gamercard here, the gamertag and score is right but everything else is wrong. Could be due to privacy settings I guess.

 

On looking at commerce.microsoft.com, it says my membership expired 26th february after a 1 month prepaid period -I got this because of the master chief collection. Is this is what is now potentially stopping me from using a trial card? I read somewhere
that you can't use a trial if you already had full gold. Thanks again.

 

It would be best to contact support since the billing site is showing that your gold should have expired already. The 1 month card would not be what's keeping you from using the trial if it already expired. It's the fact that your account is still somewhat
showing as gold on parts of the system. So there is some sort of issue somewhere.
