My live expired today without any warning and going without live for a week while amazon ships a card would be pretty boring considering I have the week off. I ordered this and within about 1 minute I got my code, entered it on xbox.com and it worked perfect. I could have just gotten this from xbox.com but Amazon has the bonus month for the same price which makes it a better deal.

I just purchased this item and I must say I was quite worried. Kind of seemed that many people are having problems getting the code. Fortunately for me, I got mine rather quickly. Perhaps the people with problems can elaborate on how their purchasing process was like.
Mine went as follows:

Click buying button
Select payment option
Select billing address
Review final order
Then click 'Place Order' button and wait
(A few minutes later)
Successful transaction page (don't remember what it exactly said on it)
Click to see code

And that's about it. I entered it onto my Xbox and got my Gold membership.

This code is only for United States addresses so perhaps that's the problem? Just input a US billing address. It could also be a computer problem also. Internet too slow? Or viruses on the computer? Or perhaps impatience? You do have to wait a bit while it is being processed. Do not surf away from that processing screen.

Hope it works out for all those who had problems.

Fantastic option. Didn't encounter delays others mentioned, I received my code IMMEDIATELY after completing the purchase.

My 12 month xbox live just expired and I really wanted to play right away without going out to the nearest electronic store to buy a card. So Amazon saved the day with this quick online game code purchase without leaving the crib. The code generated in about 3 mins or less. I printed it out and had the option to email myself the code. I used the code immediately after I got it and BAM! I was online playing multi-player COD 4 again. I would only buy from Amazon direct and not the other stores on their site selling the same.

As soon as I paid for it got the code, entered it in on xbox.com and it accepted it just fine.

Whatever problem Amazon/Microsoft had before with this has been solved it seems.

Looks like I never seen this before. I usually renew memberships via Xbox Web Marketplace/console. My brother usually buys the physical card from Amazon. But this is amazing! It's cheaper then buying directly from Microsoft AND you get the code instantly! (Well not instantly, there was a minute of processing time. A minor complaint.) I would buy this again if the price stayed the same!

I placed my order for this 13 month XBL code and received it in less than a minute. Hopefully from what I can tell with my experience and some of the latest reviews Amazon has worked out the kinks in this system. I for one really hope so because I would much rather buy my XBL purchases from Amazon.

I guess I missed the big sale I read in some of the reviews - I paid 49.99 but that's cool. It was indeed kind of scary when I saw the thing spinning making me wait for the code but it only took about 2 minutes & I was on a wifi connection that acts kind of shady at times. I didn't want to switch to the hardline connection during the processing because I didn't want to mess it up and not get the code. The code popped up, we entered it via the xbox and it was quick and easy. I still have about 2 weeks left on the current monthly and it added the 12+1 to begin after my current subscription ends in 2 weeks. I thought I was going to lose the 2 weeks I had left which would have been fine because I was really only trying to take my CC off the MS Live account. It would not let me remove the card due to current subscripton still active. I basically had to enter a code to put the active subscription on something other than my CC. Unfortunately I still have to wait the 2 weeks to remove the card. Good news is that the card no longer says auto renew so I'm glad it's not going to charge it again. I had it set to monthly because my son is only 10 and I wanted to try it out first before going 12 months. I did the monthly for 2 months and I wanted to remove the card because I hate auto payments. Plus my son might get trigger happy and start downloading a bunch of games. Well hopefully the points can be added digitally as well via Amazon - I don't want Live holding my CC hostage anymore for sure. Not that I had any problems or that I don't trust them, I just feel better knowing it's not on there. If I have any problems in 2 weeks getting the CC off I'll certainly post it - and then cancel the card like I had to do when Netflix kept charging me. I miss Netflix too - but Blockbuster is cool.

5/8/2010 - it's kinda 5/7 but it's a little after midnight so.... :) (why am i so goofy)

Anyway, I totally forgot that I said I would update this if I had a problem getting the CC off. I did. Yep and I was not a happy camper but I totally googled and did all kinds of binging and stuff to finally get a phone number to call xbox and they handled it for me. It was not that simple but the bottom line was they got the card off and then had to totally cancel my acct but emailed me codes for a new subscription. I was extremely happy because I was like a big cry baby spoiled brat "GET MY CARD OFF THAT XBOX LIVE" b-word. I think if I wasn't afraid that my son would buy xbox points w/o my permission, I would have left it there because I can tell they're trustworthy. I'm just goofy. LOL.

XBOX LIVE was awesome handling that for me, although I think they should have a little button to click that says "GET MY CARD OFF OF HERE NOW" but they don't.

The transaction went as smoothly as I could imagine. I received my 13 month card code in about 30 seconds, was able to print it, and I couldn't be happier. I saved 10 dollars, the card was on sale for $39. Not to mention, saved myself some time and gas not having to drive to the local shop to get one. I highly recommend the amazon online store for any future XBL purchases.

It's awesome that you can purchase the item and get the code ASAP (instead of paying Amazon the shipping charge for them sending you the card)!!!
