The 5% only applies to one of the vouchers if anyone is wondering however even at £3.99 it's still a decent price :smiley:

I believe they've limited the code to like 3 uses per account - however if they haven't then you could buy them all separately I think (I'm sure Buzz or someone will correct me if I'm wrong)

Just use this link, you don't have to enter an email address, any old text will do
Go to their page on FB, look down the left hand pane for "Click here to get 5% off". Once you have code, make sure you are logged in at CDkeys or it won't work.

I've just added one of these £5 codes onto my Xbox account and it says it expires on 11/08/2017... Anyone else noticed this?
I've added a second code and now it says £10 expires on 11/08/2017, this is slightly worrying...

It looks like they have bought a load of the '3m live+£5 credit free' and are selling them separately as the £5 free has the same sort of short usage window.

If it's not on your order history you should receive an email link to the code.

Remember that the credit will only work for Xbox 360 games if you redeem it on a 360. Stores are different and otherwise you will only be able to use it on Xbox one.
Turtle1992
14 May 17#29
That isn't true, I buy credit and put it on Xbox one and I can buy Xbox 360 games so dunno where you get the info, any points work on any games on the Xbox regardless where you put it

14 May 17#30
I redeemed this to the XB1 via Windows 10, never had any issue buying games via the XB1 be it xbox 360 or XB1 games, but i have my credit card on my account so that solves a lot of issue, although i never use it for buying anything, i always wait for deals like this. :wink:
chezybezy
14 May 17#31
Would it be best to hold back redeeming these or just redeem immediately? Also can anyone remember if there is a way to see when you've redeemed a "voucher" I'm sure you used to be able to see something like, £5 credit, total credit on account. And each one listed below with a total. Like your store purchase history / download queue but including the credits from codes
E: looks like 3 is the limit you can buy using a discount code.

Why can't I buy Call of Duty 3 with this credit on Xbox One, instead it wants me to pay with my card!?
chezybezy
14 May 17#33
Unless you mean if I redeem it on xb1 I can't then use it on my x360? But it would work the other way around, correct? So would it be best to redeem on my x360 to cover all eventualities?

You need to buy it with an Xbox 360 console in order to use your credit, it won't let you use it via the website or Xbox One. Microsoft blame it on being a legacy system, which they clearly can't be bothered to update.

Yeah? I ordered three and applied two of them to my son's account as he wanted a particular game, but already had some unused credit which I forgot about, so didn't need all three applied to his account.
Added the remaining £5 code to my account and now its showing as due to expire on August 14th 2017.:confused:
After contacting MS about this thinking the error was at their end, I was informed that the code was from a 'Promotional Gift Card', which do have an expiry date.
I contacted CDKeys regarding this issue and told them what MS had said and was more or less told 'Tough'.
They said that once the code is redeemed, it cannot be un-redeemed and that their policy is that they won't issue a refund/replacement on used digital goods as they were sent unused.
They also went on to say I should just use the balance before the expiry date.
All well and good if I was planning on purchasing something, but I'm not. It was only added to my account due to the fact I assumed they didn't expire and could be used any time in the future.
I know it's only a few quid, but it's just not right that they sent me a code I did not want which no one would ever know what it was until it WAS applied!

Maverick's 100% correct. Xbox 360 games can only be bought by store credit on Xbox 360, but can be bought by card on PC and Xbox One due to the differences in the store backends.

Well dunno how I managed it then as I bought black ops 1 and 2 in the Xbox sale on Xbox One with my credit

It turns out you can't buy Xbox 360 games with Xbox credit, thank goodness I only wasted ten pounds before I found that one out.
Edit - Turns out you can if you use a 360 for some bizarre reason

There's a GOTY edition coming out soon, so you'll get some extras for the standard price (supposed to be 5 new skins, 10 loot boxes, plus a pet for WoW and playable Tracer character for Heroes of the Storm).

Nice one thanks, preordered the new destiny game using a load of these. Preorders take acc credit straight away so no worries about it expiring.

15 May 17#53
cheers, £50s worth, for once i can buy digital at the same price as retail. you can also use this credit on the microsoft site so you could get ~20% off a surface if you can be bothered to input the codes
...god dammmit why can Scorpio be up for pre order yet!

Well that £11.77 was well spent, just bough Left for dead 1 and 2 and ghostbusters the game and still have over £4 of credit left, what to buy next. lol
I had been looking at those games for a while since they went BC on the XB1 but they would have cost me over £30 second hand from the cex and ebay. ha

So i want £50 worth so have added 10 of these £5 codes to my cart and have applied the discount code, but its only taking 20p off, what gives??
AdamPI to BlockABoots
16 May 17#56
Code will only work on first item in cart.
To get 10 you'd have:
1) Get code
2) buy one
3) buy another
4) Wait for code to expire and new one to be generated
5) Repeat

17 May 17#57

Probably when they run out of this batch. These are some kind of promo credit which CDKeys have acquired and expire 90 days after activating. There is probably an expiry on the codes themselves also, so CDKeys can't sit on them forever. Surprised they have not yet sold out anyway....

If you have credit that expires mixed with credit that doesn't expire, does it use the expiring credit first?

21 May 17#64
Did you manage to get them on your 360 then?
Johnmcl7
21 May 171#65
Yep, that seems to be the only way to do it as it doesn't work on the web store or Xbox one console. You have to laugh at the fact that they've managed the immensely difficult challenge of getting BC working but can't do something simple like let you actually buy the games using their own credit.

Opening post
you will need the fb like code or price is 3.99 , 20% discount is pretty good margin on Xbox credit.
*Note - it seems this credit has a use by date of 11/8/17. worth noting if you are planning on bulk buying *
