Summarize your bug I am trying to redeem a key. When I enter the code it comes up with the correct game and says accepted, but once I press confirm I get an error "The product code you entered is not valid. Please re-enter the code." This is the first time I have tried activating this key (obviously).
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? I don't know exactly
What happens when the bug occurs? I get an error saying "The product code you entered is not valid. Please re-enter the code." and i dont get my game
What do you expect to see? The game appearing in my library

I got a free key for Jedi Fallen Order on prime gaming about a year ago.  It was the type where they just give you a game key and you don't have to connect your origin account.  I tried activating it on the EA app and when I paste it in and type next it comes up with the right game and says accepted, but when I click confirm i get an error: "The product code you entered is not valid. Please re-enter the code."  The game is not in my library,  I have obviously not activated the code before.

I have tried multiple times and even tried activating it on the site instead of the app but nothing works.

How do i fix this error and get my game?

  • I have a similar problem. I have an old store bought CD of Spore. I downloaded the EA software and hit redeem code, entered my old Spore key as requested, and the error message stated that my code was already redeemed. How is that? I have not played it in years and have not undergone the redemption process previously that I can remember. What do I need to do to redeem my code and actually play the game I bought?
