[09:53:56 PM] JOHN U: John U
[09:54:06 PM] Joseph M.: Hello John, how can I help you tonight?
[09:54:38 PM] JOHN U: xxxx.xxxxxx@us.army.mil, ps3, HeadhunterSeven mw3, XXX-XXX-8320
[09:55:58 PM] JOHN U: I have been trying to redeem my founder card for a long time now. The site used to do nothing when I entered the code now it says code error. If I just make up a random code it says invailid code. Whats the deal is the site up or not?
[09:56:29 PM] Joseph M.: The site should be functional. Let me check your account. One moment please.
[09:58:13 PM] Joseph M.: The account seems to be in good order. I'm having one of our moderators check the status in the database.
[09:59:02 PM] JOHN U: ok, maybe it went through? thats why I get error?
[09:59:30 PM] Joseph M.: That's what I suspected, but it does not seem to be the case here. On the site and in the database, it is showing as a premium, non-founder.
What web browser are you using when you enter the code?

[09:59:58 PM] JOHN U: ie8
[10:00:45 PM] Joseph M.: I know there were some issues with several versions of IE. Do you have another browser on the system? I find Firefox to be the most reliable with Elite.
[10:00:57 PM] JOHN U: yes i do
[10:01:32 PM] Joseph M.: Ok, with another browser, first log into your account at http://callofduty.com
[10:01:41 PM] Joseph M.: Then redeem the code.
[10:01:56 PM] JOHN U: ok im goona pull it up now. give me a second. thanks
[10:02:03 PM] Joseph M.: Sure
[10:03:45 PM] JOHN U: ok logged in, how to get to code site from there?
[10:04:34 PM] Joseph M.: Enter the address: http://callofduty.com/founder manually in the address bar
[10:05:49 PM] JOHN U: it still asks me to log in
[10:06:23 PM] Joseph M.: Ok, log in again from that page.
[10:06:35 PM] JOHN U: code error
[10:07:00 PM] JOHN U: please try again later
[10:07:23 PM] Joseph M.: Is there an error number?
[10:07:28 PM] JOHN U: no
[10:08:18 PM] Joseph M.: That is odd. I know the developers are working on the site, which may be a part of the problem now. But how long have you had this issue?
[10:09:36 PM] JOHN U: lol, for weeks the site has been down, just today the site does somthing other than refresh. but it only says code error. Now if I make up a code it says invailid code. So I really dont understand whats going on.
[10:11:48 PM] Joseph M.: The site seems to be working in general. There may be some underlying problem with the account I can not see. I would like to send this case to the site's developers for further investigation. They have access to the accounts in way I don't . They may be able to find the problem or suggest other potential solutions.
[10:12:04 PM] JOHN U: Some turd on the activision support facebook page muted me from making new comments becuase they got tire of me asking daily about clan ops and my damn code. I spent good money for this game I just want my support.
[10:12:50 PM] JOHN U: ive got that answer before and no return on it? I cant be the only one with this issue you have delt with today?
[10:13:34 PM] Joseph M.: I have seen this issue 2-3 times in the past, it is not common, but not unheard of either.
[10:14:03 PM] JOHN U: now i did login via facebook. could that be anything?
[10:14:17 PM] JOHN U: how has it been fixed then?
[10:15:06 PM] Joseph M.: Honestly, in the past, the developers have fixed these cases. However, you may be on to something with the facebook login. Could you log out and then log back in using the e-mail address and password?
[10:15:38 PM] JOHN U: nope I just logged in normal no change
[10:15:46 PM] Joseph M.: ok
[10:15:51 PM] Joseph M.: It was worth a try
[10:15:52 PM] JOHN U: ok so how will they fix it without my code?
[10:16:41 PM] Joseph M.: If there is an error with the account, they should be able to correct it so that the code will work in future attempts. It must still be a valid code.
[10:17:05 PM] Joseph M.: Did you buy the Hardened edition, or did you buy the code seperately?
[10:17:28 PM] JOHN U: got hardened as a gift
[10:17:53 PM] Joseph M.: Ok. The game was not used, the box unopened, still in the shrink wrap?
[10:18:02 PM] JOHN U: im military so missed the deadline was busy
[10:18:12 PM] Joseph M.: I understand that.
[10:18:18 PM] JOHN U: yeah its legit
[10:18:59 PM] JOHN U: not like I can return it becuase of a code.
[10:19:35 PM] Joseph M.: Ok, do you have a camera? Could you send me an image of the founder code and disc 1 of the game? I could use that as verification.
write the number 387155 next to it and I can send that to the developers as proof of ownership.
[10:19:46 PM] JOHN U: so can I get contacted when its fixed so I get redeem this card already.
[10:20:34 PM] JOHN U: maybe becuase I was founder when just random people got founder. I just thought my code kicked in.
[10:20:50 PM] Joseph M.: Yes, we can definitely contact you when the account is reviewed. If they are able to locate and correct any errors, they will let you know.
[10:21:22 PM] JOHN U: any timeline and method of contact is email would work best, My phone service sucks in the house
[10:22:00 PM] JOHN U: I just want to play some founder servers. They have those right?
[10:22:31 PM] Joseph M.: No, there are no founder's servers
[10:22:39 PM] JOHN U: I suck at this game but its the one thing I do when im off work adn relax.
[10:22:42 PM] Joseph M.: It is only an emblem, title, and weapon camo
[10:23:27 PM] JOHN U: I already have all the emblems, just not the green skull and the title above the elite prem. Maybe thats this issue with the code error.
[10:25:52 PM] JOHN U: when random poeple got founder, I got the emblem, title and camo. its showed green skull, the clan got 500xp etc and it said founder under my account. Then that portion was gone and it only says elite prem no more founder. Still have the camo and other stuff. I just though my code kicked it after entering it a million timed.
[10:26:41 PM] Joseph M.: Ok, the founder code at this point would only change the red skull on your account to green. It would not unlock any further benefit.
[10:27:30 PM] JOHN U: roger that. I paid for my green skull I want it.
[10:28:13 PM] JOHN U: there are gonna be founder only ops
[10:28:25 PM] Joseph M.: Ok. I will ask the developers to look into that. Could you send an image of the founder card as verification of purchase?
[10:28:29 PM] JOHN U: which i wont be able to see or getinto
[10:28:39 PM] JOHN U: yeah
[10:29:02 PM] JOHN U: should I blank out the code? front and back what do you need
[10:29:58 PM] Joseph M.: I just need to see the card and the number XXXXXX written down somewhere in the photo (handwritten on a piece of paper behind the card is best).

We would need to see the code. That way if it is in use on another account, we can invalidate that other account.
[10:30:50 PM] JOHN U: ok cool give me a sec ill take the pic and send it. ill also put my psn name on it too
[10:30:58 PM] Joseph M.: Ok, thanks.
[10:35:16 PM] JOHN U: ok had to take a buch to get the code to show
[10:35:35 PM] Joseph M.: Ok, that's fine. You can attach them to the chat window here.
[10:38:09 PM] JOHN U: you get it?
[10:38:19 PM] Joseph M.: It's loading now.
[10:38:32 PM] Joseph M.: Ok, that looks good.
[10:39:27 PM] JOHN U: cool thanks bro, I broke my leg on a airborne jump a couple of weeks ago so im trapped at the crib and my only outlet is the game right now.
[10:40:34 PM] Joseph M.: I'll try to get this fixed for you as soon as possible. In the meantime, is there anything else I can help you with tonight?
[10:41:40 PM] JOHN U: Ok so who do I complain to about the jerk that muted me on the facebook page becuase he or she got tired of my requests for support?
[10:42:15 PM] Joseph M.: Do you know the username of the person who did it?
[10:46:09 PM] 'JOHN U' disconnected ('Concluded by End-user').
