Okay, so you want free microsoft money? Go to a store retailer, and ask for the card you want without being activated by register. Once you get the card go home. Scratch the stuff off so you can see the code. Go to xbox(dot)com and contact customer support. State something like, "Is this a scam?!?!?! I bought (value of card) today and when I go to redeem it, it says something like, "Trouble redeeming code". Get really convincing and they will send you a new code.
