COD5 Beta - Invalid Code

mr.manchester · 14-10-2008, 12:31 PM

I got my code today from callofduty.com but when redeeming it all i get is an "Invalid code" Message.

Theres loads of people having the same problem, to say im annoyed is an understatement!

That sucks

I'd contact Treyarch if I were you - I've heard Activision aren't being too helpful on this matter for some reason.

you know i couldn't wait for this but now ive just got a stonking headache after looking everywhere for another code, i really am at the point where i'm going to launch my 360 up the garden soon!

I guess you've tried swapping 'zeros' for letter 'o's, and vice-versa? I had this issue with a xbl gold card code that was emailed to me when I tried to redeem it. 8's and B's are another classic.

Worth a try, anyway. Worked for me.

I just read this on the eurogamer forum:

I got a new code. Here is what I did:

I Contacted Activision for help via email. I found the email address on Call of Duty, World at War in the contact us section. I sent them an email with my problem and my invalid code. I just got an email back with a new code that works on my mian account.

I have already emailed them but i have just done it again.

Apparently some of the codes that were sent this morning were intended for Xbox owners in the U.S therefor they wont work for us in the U.K.

I'm presuming you are putting the emailed code in at the website to get your long redeem code for the 360?

I know this doesnt seem to be the case here but isnt it possible some could create a key gen and use up codes so when people legitimatly enter them it will come up already used after the codes dont have an infinite amount of combinations.

MonkeyKnuckle · 14-10-2008, 7:23 PM

Mine didn't work at first to I deleted it and re-entered it a couple of times and it went through eventually for some reason....

Synax_Injector · 14-10-2008, 7:27 PM

I got a code also, didn't work, phoned xbox up and they just said phone up the cod 5 makers...not really that bothered, will try the code again tomorrow, if not...o'wells

Yup, got a spare code off a friend in the end but callofduty.com have sent me another code today which im saving for a mate, we'll see if it works!

Anyone know the last day I can input this code into my XBOX? Does it have an expiry date?

abs · 15-10-2008, 10:51 AM

i was kindly given a code by forum member bubs999. i've input it and it says the code will allow me to d/load cod 5 beta. however when i click on download i get an error message with an error code saying something like it is unable to download from the marketplace at this time.

do i need to be a gold member? at the moment only on silver but do have a 1month free trial with gold to redeem.

Not sure but would have thought you need gold.

Mark.

**Hillskill** · 15-10-2008, 11:06 AM

I think I agree with Mark but the only way to be sure is to redeem your months trial code. If it doesnt work just get stuck in on COD4 :D

shil · 15-10-2008, 11:22 AM

I just got mine and its working a treat!
