Unfortunately, passcode redemption works exactly as intended.
I'm working from details I was told years ago, so if anyone needs to correct me, please do so.
Once upon a time, there was an exploit where multiple people could benefit from a single use code if they all submitted at the same time. A queue system was put in place to counter this. If the queue is too long, your attempt times out before it reaches the front of the line. The error messages tell you none of this, so everyone assumes the system is broken.

like always it's not working:-) better use them 2/3 hours after they are released

Plus the Intel map is borked, so you get errors more often than not.
