    I purchased a key from cdkeys last week for *** 2k23 vc and received a code that was invalid. I contacted support and they responded with asking to follow steps to insure that I didnt have an error on my end. I quickly followed each step and responded. They didnt reach back out to me until days later. They then followed up with the same animated response and still have not either refunded me my money or sent a valid code.

    I had bought the Icon Edition of WWE2k23 from this business, it clearly stated that the release date for this edition was March 14th 2023. The OFFICIAL release date for this edition was March 14th 2023 at 12am. It is now 330PM March 14th 2023, well passed the time for the release and I have still not received my key to play this game. I have tried to contact this company NUMEROUS time and have only gotten two replies, and both of them were a copy and paste of each other about "Thank you for getting in contact with CDKeys.Our pre-order keys are delivered on the day the game is officially released, which is also the date mentioned on our product page.Although we are committed to delivering pre-orders on time, in some cases there might be a slight delay in delivering the key to you due to time zone differences.Codes will be available soon. Kindly try to reaccess your code later." AND "Thank you for getting in contact with CDKeys.Our pre-order keys are delivered on the date and time that the game is officially released, which is also the date mentioned on our product page.Although we are committed to delivering pre-orders on time, in some cases there might be a slight delay in delivering the key to you due to time zone differences.Please be assured that we will send a notification email so you know when the product keys are available for accessing."Outside of these two responses there has been no contact as to WHY I have not gotten the product that I paid for. The listed phone for this company of ************ does not ring at all and only gives the 'line busy' beeping until the caller decides to hang up. After numerous attempts to actually contact this company to no avail I feel as if I'm forced to use the BBB just to get a response as to why they refuse to give me the product that I paid for.

    I purchased a code for 2 months of xbox ultimate from these crooks. Shocker, the code was already used when attempting to use it. I reached out and they told me to reach out to ********* over it to find out when the code was used as they need that info to refund me. Reach out to *********, who does confirm the code has been used, but can't give out the date as they don't see that. Okay, send screenshots of the conversation to these crooks as requested, only to not hear back for days, and when they finally do reply, it was to argue that ********* has to give me that info. I already sent you screenshots from ********* saying the code was used. I want my money back, or a code that actually hasn't been used.

    I purchased 2 XBOX Gamepass Ultimate CD Keys from CDKeys.com and I received 2 codes and neither worked. I had emailed them several times, put in a ticket, said they would get back to me soon and never got anything more from them.

    On January 25th 2023 I purchased a 1 year Playstation Plus code from this company for $49.99. I immediately tried to redeem the code and while Playstation said it was a code for 1 year of Playstation Plus it also said the code was NO LONGER VALID meaning they most likely sell expired codes. When I contacted CDKeys they said they would have to send my issue on to their escalation team (after the first email which implied I simply didn't know what I was doing and to try again). After their escalation team claiming that they don't give refunds I attempted to report the issue through PayPal who CDKeys just told the same thing "we don't do refunds for digital purchases".So they sold me a non-functioning, most likely expired Playstation Plus code. Instead of saving $10 I now paid $50 for something that doesn't work and they have no desire to fix the issue (I recommended a new code or a refund, both of which they shot down).These people are either scamming people by selling expired codes or they are completely ignorant to the fact that codes expire and that they need to keep an eye on their inventory. Either way it's not worth the risk when they will steal $50 from customers and do nothing but blame the customer for the faulty codes that they sell.

    On October 5th I ordered a 3 month Playstation plus subscription. I immediately tried to redeem it and it it gave me an error saying that the code was already used or invalid. I reached out to the support center online and they kept asking for different proof and I responded accordingly with each of their requests. They stopped responding to me. I need either a new working code or a refund asap.
