  1. Adding money to one child's microsoft balance is appearing on another child's account. How...


    I have an XboxS. I have an account myself and I have two child accounts, Child1 and Child2.

    Yesterday I added money to Child1's account. We can see this clearly in the order history of my MS account where it says "£10.00 credit to Microsoft account – Purchased for Child1"

    When I go to the Microsoft Family Safety app for Child1 and go to Spending it says "Money added to account. Yesterday and my email. +£10.00"

    When I go to the same settings for Child2 it says exactly the same thing.

    I'm also pretty sure that Child1 was able to spend the Microsoft balance of Child2 although I haven't confirmed that just yet.

    Any ideas??

    :)

    I added money to my child's account but his balance remains at zero.

    Just curious, was this resolved? And is this a bug or some specific conditions that must be followed to make the money appear in the balance. I have similar problem. Despite the fact that money was added to make a purchase for Fortnite, the problem seems to be purely on Microsoft side, but not xbox or anything else.

    1. My child (joined to family account) wanted to purchase in-game currency. She were redirected to the request page, where she request a parent (me) to allow the purchase.

    2. I received an email from Microsoft Family Safety with option to allow this purchase.

    3. After selecting "Allow", I was redirect to the Family Safety app where I was asked to add money to the my child's Microsoft account.

    4. I followed the steps and added money to her account. Received email with confirmation. Verified that money was taken from bank account.

    5. Unfortunately, the app still shows that No Ballance on my child's account.

    6. New transaction record appeared though with messages: "Money added to account €50.00" . However on the same page there is anothe record "Microsoft account balance €0.00". On the home page same thing: "No balance" but at the same time there is record that €50.00 is added.

    Moreover, when I opened Microsoft Family Safety website in the browser, the balance showes €50.00. That makes everything even more confusing.

    Still the purchase of in-game currency can not be completed due to absence of money in the child's Microsoft account.
