Can I check the validity of a promo code without redeeming it?

Jump to Best Response

I'll keep this short: I bought a used ASUS ROG Phone 3, which comes with a bundled Stadia Pro code. It appears the previous buyer, who returned the phone in near-mint condition, did open the Stadia Pro card and reveal the promo code.

Is it possible to check whether the code has been used, without trying to redeem it on my existing Stadia account?

@dgw No you can't, you have to try to enter it and it'll give you a notification that it's expired/unable to be used on your account. Or it'll be used.

Thank you, @Deleted User. As it turns out, my code was marked valid for new accounts only, so attempting to redeem it on my existing Stadia profile let me find out that it had, in fact, been used already by someone else. That's all I needed to know, so I can tell the retailer.
