Gold trial

I was wondering if anyone could help me. I’m usually an offline player, I don’t have the best/most reliable internet connection, nor do I have the many to pay for gold subscriptions (I have to do a lot of saving up to afford a game). I finally got a chance to connect my Xbox to the net and I had a gold trial that came with CEA but when I put in the code it said it wasn’t valid. I check, rechecked and input the code over and over but it would never work. I’ve tried contacting Microsoft to no avail. When I contacted the store I bought the game from they said it wasn’t their problem. This is incredibly frustrating for me and I was hoping someone here might be able to help me in some way. I’m in Australia if that changes anything by the way.

How many characters does the code have?

25, broken up into five sets of five separated by hyphens. As far as I can tell, it’s normal.

I can give you my code that I got with HCEA.

I don’t know if North American codes work with Australian accounts…

Why?

Really? I’d feel bad taking it but I do want to know if it’s a problem with the code itself or my account. If you’re really ok with it I’d like to try it, but only if you’re completely sure you wont use yours. I can’t connect my Xbox to the internet right now either.

I don’t need it.
I’ll send you the code later today. To try it.
Getting ready for work right now.

Wow, thank you so so so much! Honestly I can’t thank you enough. When you say send it I take it you mean PM? I’ll try it as soon as I can and tell you if it worked or not, should know within a couple of days. Again thank you! You’re the best!

Yep I’ll send it as a PM.

In my experience, these codes hardly ever work.

I’ve gotten maybe 50 48 hour trials that weren’t valid.

And yes, they do work for Australian accounts.

Nov 24-27 is free XBL weekend It was on the Xbox dashboard.

I sent it.
Hope it works for you.

It could be region locked, but its worth a shot…

I’ve never had it happen before, were the ones you got second hand perhaps? I just hope there’s not something wrong with my account.

Thanks Math! I’ll try it out as soon as I can

one letter off, probably. Had trouble with a MS point card because two letters looked alike.

I thought the same thing and tried every combination I could think of, even thought I might’ve got mixed up with the map pack code but after trying everything I could think of, still said it was invalid.
