So I have an issue with this Minecraft and Microsoft I was scammed

Unfortunately, once you link a Microsoft account to a Minecraft account, I am afraid they cannot be unlinked!

Find more about this here: Unlinking a Minecraft: Java Edition Account and a Microsoft Account – Home

You should receive the code by July 31. If not, you'll want to post back here.

I purchased Gold (12 months), when it was purportedly bundled with "free Minecraft." I STILL have not received the code and feel scammed at this point.

Customer Service said they can't help me and that I should post here. CSR was kind and helpful, but alas couldn't fix this issue

edit: i should note that I purchased Gold through an advertisement on my dashboard, where it said that Minecraft Favourites Pack came with 12 months of Gold, and Minecraft vanilla came with 3 months. I opted for 12 months, and was happy to do so. but again,
now i feel pretty scammed out of my money, unless this issue is fixed. needless to say, i'll be weary purchasing new promotions with "free bonuses" going forward

I bought it as a gift…have I been scammed . I bought it with my Microsoft account….if you think I’ve been scammed please let me know so I can put a stop payment on my credit card

Hey there!

Nice to meet you! My name is Christian, an independent advisor. I'm here to help you out.

If you really did try all the troubleshooting steps there are on the internet then there are only 2 more things you can do.

Get in touch with Xbox Support and see if there was something that went wrong with the transaction and see what other options they can provide. Here is the link to get in touch.

Or you can try getting support from the developers themselves. Use this link to access their support page.

I hope this helps.
