WARNING! Do not buy any gift codes! Mojang is patching them ALL!
For all of you who bought gift codes and thought you would have a cheap account you might have seen
that mojang scratched alot of accounts. They have located the accounts that got created with the gift code method.
They basicly put all those accounts back to non-premium.
So don't buy any codes

Selling gift codes for $5 seems too good to be true, and it is! When buying minecraft gift codes it always leads to scam. If you buy a minecraft gift code there are only 2 possible outcomes:

1. You will not receive the gift code and the seller will run off with your money.

2. You will receive the gift code but the gift code will be revoked within a few weeks.

No threads are to be made about gift codes due to these options. If you do truly think your codes will NOT be revoked, contact staff/Upper Users and give them a vouch copy. If you code is not revoked within a month, you can put up your thread.
Yes, i payed over $10 and all Codes got revoked.
thanks for the info
Well that will now lower the Marketplace demand for Minecraft
Hey thanks for the info
Thanks for the heads up!.
Any idiot with the basic understanding of social engineering and english could have gotten an account this way. The fact that Mojang didn't do anything until now is really sad.

Maybe mojang has been doing something. It's just that it's not official yet. They would have to locate probably thousands of codes before deactivating them.

Yeah the fact is that they would have to distinguish between the ones that are legit and the ones that aren't. So basically they needed a lot of time to do so.
Every single one of my gift codes have been revoked.
A lot of the codes were carded which obviously after the real owner of the credit card chargedback on the false order, Mojang would have to revoke the accounts.
1 of my gift codes was revoked.. This needs pined
I made this mistake about 2 months ago. I bought $40 worth of codes of someone and they were all working. I made emails for each account about up until yesterday all of them have been revoked. All of the accounts are no longer premium... I wasted $40 and it sucked so bad.

EDIT: I was buying 2 codes for $5
