I just tried the code, but I received an error message stating that because my account had been downgraded from VIP to Premium, and as such was suspended. Anyone else have this error?
You cannot upgrade a suspended subscription. Please reactivate the subscription first and try again. [err: 29306]
ATTENTION: One or more of your subscriptions has been suspended or downgraded from VIP status due to non-payment. Please re-enter your billing information or apply a Game Card now to reactivate your subscription(s). After successfully updating your billing information, click either “Resume” or “Get Unlimited Access” to restore the subscription`s former Active or VIP status.
Yeah, I ran into the same issue myself when I first tried to put in the code. And Turbine is being tricksy with this restriction, too. Took me a while to figure out how to get around it, but I did.
Basically, they want active credit card data on file in order to maintain an "Active" account status. Whether it is your card or the card of someone that trusts you to repay them any accidental clicks on the big "Add Points" button, they really don't care.

I just wanted to say that the problem has been sorted - I just had to update my CC expiry date to "reactivate" my account, now I have the Hauberk on my account
Thanks very much for explaining how to obtain this beautiful new addition to my Wardrobe! Whether or not the information as to how to obtain the Hauberk is to be found elsewhere on these Forums, I certainly haven't come across it before, so your post has been very useful to me.
Incidentally, as a former EU player, I can confirm, as many already have done, that this works fine with former EU Accounts. I can also confirm that, for me at least, the Hauberk has appeared successfully on all ten of my existing Characters upon login, so perhaps those who had problems were simply lacking in bag space...?
+1 Reputation for a most helpful post - and especially for taking so much time to provide such a detailed explanation.
"Free" is always a price that I like, and the Hauberk is a most worthy addition to anyone's outfit selection, I'd say. I love it!
Many thanks indeed.

Free is a fine price and I too confirm it works for the Codemasters refugees amongst us (like myself). And you can dye it in interesting ways, as the dye is added to the blue in places making for some different colors.
