Gears of War 4 NVIDIA Error Promo Keys From Amazon Mass Revoked

I don't know. Do you plan to tell them the truth about when you bought it?
Did you remove nvidia's permissions to your Microsoft account before redeeming the second key?

Honestly this is the easiest thing you can do and it'll probably be the best plan of action. If you really still want the game that bad.
EDIT: I don't encourage this as this is pretty much stealing from nvidia now.
Yes, I removed nvidia's permission before trying to redeem the second key. It would still add it back when you try to go through the redeem process.
Update: I got it working now. Removed Nvidia's permission and then used another email. Both together let me redeem it now. Thanks for the help!
I don't think we should be encouraging this sort of thing in a thread where people who bought the game in good faith before the Amazon glitch became public are having to defend themselves.
They bought a code from someone else in good faith. Buying the game would be actually paying Microsoft for it or getting it in an official promotion. Call buying a code from the 2nd hand grey market what it is.
When you buy stolen goods no matter what good faith you had guess what? You don't get to keep them.
Can you do it on an email account that had already redeemed one key?
That's not what I was referring to.

So it's probably never going to safe to buy third-party keys for this game now?
That's generally what I do for any game bundled with a GPU.
What's the lowest price for this game from a different region in the Windows Store?

You can redeem it to the same microsoft account but you need to provide a different email for the redemption to work.
The email doesn't matter in the end apparently since it is tied to your microsoft account.
The only way to be safe if buying a 3rd party key for this game would be to ask seller to provide proof of the GPU buy like an invoice copy. That would ensure your game won't get revoked and is a legit one.
The codes that come with the upcoming S bundles should be fine as they should be 5x5 MS codes straight from the pack-in card.

I'm more upset I bought a 1070 from Amazon a week before this promo ran
No, but I believe you're still entitled to get your money back from the person who misrepresented the goods as legitimate. As in legally, you can sue that person. Or maybe my memory of all those morning court shows is hazy.
And Nvidia has been bundling codes for forever. There's no way they're oblivious to the market for them. If anything, it's an incentive for people to buy their GPU's since they know the cost can be subsidized by selling the codes.

Reactivated?
edit:
Not working the same code on the same account. I used a new code in my 2nd account. Redeemed, downloaded.

\o/Just tried one of my affected ones that wasn't redeemed
yep, it works.
That's odd, to say the least.
Can you redeem the offer more than once on the same Microsoft account? I bought one of the early codes from ebay that ended up being effected, but also just bought a desktop with a 1070.
You can redeem the offer on the same microsoft account, you will just need to provide a different email on the nvidia website itself.
Not sure what's up here though. Did they give up on revoking the codes but just the unredeemed ones? So basically benefiting the people who hoarded them using the glitch but not the people who got it revoked? So odd.
Hi, when you said you use another email, do you mean you change your XBL email?
No, XBL email was the same. There is another mail box to populate for confirmation of the redemption. There you would need to give another email.
Are you able to download it now?

Can also confirmed.
Edit: The code I got from Amazon, didn't work a week or two ago. I just tried the same code yesterday for X reasons and the code worked.

Maybe those aren't glitch codes? Just the ones falsely deactivated altogether.

Mine came back to life yesterday without any customer service interaction. I returned an unopened 1070 purchased the day before the promotion went live and re-ordered. I had to eat about $11 in return shipping, but in the end not the worst deal ever.
Fuck the code-reselling scammers.

Yes I did this morning
The codes I have that were unredeemed were from a bunch I bought from a reddit seller, and the redeemed ones were all revoked...

So they only perm revoked the redeemed glitched codes? Lol why?
Oh, I misread that non-redeemed codes that were revoked were now valid again
They are.

Like I said, hook a brotha up.
Well fuck me lol
Only if you have proof of purchase, right?
No.
They downright work again. They're valid without presenting any proof of purchase, they just work. They might very well get revoked from MS accounts sometime after they get redeemed I guess(unless MS/Coalition changed their mind. Though that would be odd because people who redeemed it before and got revoked are seemingly fucked)
