My dog destroyed my xbox live card and it's missing 2 characters in it. Is there any way, besides just trial and error, to correctly guess some digits/letters ? I really don't want to go through the massive trial and error process of entering all of the different possible combinations.

    If the algorithm for gift cards was known, Microsoft would change it instantly. I suspect your only recourse is going to be to see if you can return it at the store.

I would contact Microsoft support. I know I've had iTunes cards where the code got scratched off, and they have a process for identifying the card and sending you the code. I assume Microsoft can do something similar.

  • I thought they had a disclaimer on them, removing liability once the code is sold.

    @Charging They may, but even so, that doesn't mean they won't help you. It just means you can't sue if they don't.

The only option you have is trial and error, if you want to redeem the code.

    Assuming you won't get banned before you get it right.
