Bought wrong type of XBox Digital Download code

Hi there like a numpty I bought this from Tesco

Xbox Live £25 GBP Xbox One (Digital Download Code)

thinking it was XBox live gold - should have realised that is is too cheap. I cannot get a refund from Tesco. It's for my son's christmas but can you put it towards XBox live gold on Microsoft does anyone know or what could he use it for?

So annoyed with myself.

He can buy (or put it towards) a game ..


Or downloadable content for whatever games he likes to play.


I usually use cdkeys for xbox live if you plan to re-buy :-

thanks - actually he has asked for a game which is about £25 so hopefully he can use this to download that. I was looking at XBox gold and Rakuten seem to be the cheapest at £29.99?

^^ That's a good price - Iv no experience with that vendor though so cant advise on that.


They seem to be based in Japan, but do have SSL certificate for their site etc so should be ok

£30 is a good price for the subscription.

Rakuten used to be Play.com. It was good and reliable until they turned it into a ebay rejects storefront.

When they changed to Rakuten it was suddenly awash with fake memory cards. With sellers listing thousands of identical items and no way of excluding that seller. After 8 pages in I was still on the same seller. I gave up at that point.
Never used it again.
