"it doesn't work" means ?
Do you get some error response ?

Read this help article.

If you (or your friend) got the code from some website, it's a scam and won't work.

If you still got issues, please contact Mojang Support.

im getting : Something went wrong when trying to redeem your cape! Cape token already redeemed.

In that case, your friend (or someone else) already used up the cape code. The code can only be used once.
