search Archive Marathons About Legal Back to Top December 21, 2008 The Unbearable Frustration of Error Code 80169d94 Error Code 80169d94 cost me an hour of my life last night and ninety minutes of my life this morning. All I wanted to do was upgrade my Xbox Live Silver account (which comes free with an Xbox) to Xbox Live Gold (which costs $49.99 / year) so I could stream Netflix movies on my Xbox (cool feature). I spend the first 15 minutes following the directions http://support.xbox.com/en-US/xbox-360/xbox-live/error-code-80169d94 and trying to update to Gold on the web.

It seems like there's a case where your account gets "locked from making purchases" when the credit card info doesn't exactly match the Xbox user info. This is obviously ridiculous since there are never any instructions that these need to match and anyone that has a credit card knows that it probably isn't the same as your user id. Since I've successfully bought 100+ Rock Band songs using the credit card I'd previously entered, this is a recent issue with my id - possibly occurring when I recently did the Xbox upgrade to the new software. Ok - that was about an hou
