Spore - This code has already been used

Hi

I bought Spore back when it was released and i would like to add it to my online catalog. The problem that i am having is that when i redeem the code i get a message saying that the code has already been used.

What can i do to resolve this?

  • For anyone who still has this issue and is googling to find a response:

    I went and used the EA Chat Advisor thing. I had to use Internet Explorer/Microsoft Edge in order for it to work, but I told the advisor that I owned the discs and had the codes for both (Spore and GA) and they added them to the account for me.

    Using the EA Chat Advisor worked for me as well.

    I had originally bought Spore on DVD and was trying to reinstall it on Windows 10.

    After I provided my account info and game code to the advisor, they were able to add the game to my account.

    Note that the estimated wait was given as 109 minutes, but it actually only took 10 minutes in queue to reach an advisor.

    I'm having the same issue. After 1 hour on chat, they finally said that they can't help me and had to escalate it and I would receive an e-mail reply. They marked it "Resolved" I resumed the case and got a reply saying they need pictures of my product case, dvd, and key. Sent the info. They marked it "Resolved" again...8 days later I notice and have to resume the case, again. Still no Spore on my account. Still wondering why they are marking my issue as Resolved when it's not.

    Hi

    That does not help me. I am getting a message that says the code has already been used.

    I bought the games at release and have never registered it as at the time i never had an internet connection.

    If you would like i can PM you my serial code and any other details you may need.

    Please let me know as i really want to play this again.

    regards
