Glad to help. :) There should be plenty of still-active BL2 codes at the link. I only made it part of the way through the list before I maxed out Golden Keys (255 is cap). I used the gearbox website to apply them as it was easier to copy/paste into than the game itself. Have fun!
OMG yes. I just linked my Xbox Live account and now they're not failing anymore. I think I'm hovering right around the limit so I'll stop copy/pasting. :) When is best to actually use them?
I would save them until you start to hit a wall. For me, that meant dying a lot and getting frustrated. That might be earlier or later for different characters and playstyles and luck of the drops. None of what you get from golden chests will be best in slot (compared to unique/legendary) so it is not a big deal to vendor it. You'll probably have to use several keys at a time before you get something useful. The cap of 255 keys was enough for me to get several chars through Normal and TVHM.
In UVHM, current level gear always drops, so it gets more into having the right prep: a slag method (Slagga or Magic Missiles from Normal were what I used primarily) and the right elements for enemies you face. But you might find odd gear gaps where you still want to use the golden keys.
If nothing else, you can always farm Savage Lee for an Unkempt Harold to get you by. (When you want one for keepsies, probably better to reload until the Torgue DLC vendor has a Double Penetrating prefix. And spend Torgue tokens to buy one. You can farm tokens in Normal mode but spend them in UVHM lol.)
Oh yes, and if you run out of golden keys, you can also try the slot machines to get gear, although it is much slower going. They only provide gear at the level of Sanctuary (same level as training dummy), and it is random (mostly low) quality. If you are short of cash for slot machines, you can tip Moxxi the lower amount until you get Good Touch and just vendor it. Then reload and do it again until you have all the money you want. :) Edit Actually, that might only work in higher modes, where the tip amount is still small, but the weapon sells for a lot.
