Added funds to wrong account. :(

Thanks for the reply..

Surly there must be some form of refund policy available.. I paid money from my account into an account that I can't use properly.. I tried to order a gift card from that account but you can't use existing funds..! I tried to buy and gift v bucks and other credits for games he would use. But again can't use existing credit... We have game pass so won't be spending any extra on games .. if I close that account where do the funds go.. some one has to be able to help...

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is welcome to the community.

Hello Kismet, unfortunately the guidance you received is correct, the only way to use account credits would be to buy some item that can be purchased as a gift for another account.

buy the game as a gift for you son on your account

Hello MilitantTaco,

Thanks for posting on the Xbox forums. We understand that your son redeemed an Xbox gift card to the wrong account, and you would like the funds to be transferred to the correct account. You would also like to know if game licenses can be transferred
as well. The redemption and use of gift cards (other than Skype gift cards) are governed by the

Microsoft Gift Card Terms and Conditions. The terms and conditions state, "Your Microsoft account balance
is non-transferable to another person or Microsoft account." in section 2.5. The licenses for games are not transferrable as well.

There are options available in this scenario that we can take. The funds on the account cannot be transferred. However, a Microsoft account user can

gift certain items on the Microsoft Store like games to another Microsoft account. The person receiving the gift will get an email with a code for the item. The games that are already on the account cannot be traferred either, but you can use
the home console feature on an Xbox One to share games from one account to another. The article we provided explains more about sharing content and subscriptions through the console. We hope this information helps
MilitantTaco!

Thanks for the response.

The option for depositing money into your wallet has been gone since the points system was removed.

I've used the Paypal and credit/debit card methods as well as the gift cards. I would really like a system where I can deposit as much money as I would like, when I like, into a wallet without having to go to an outside source and then deal with emails and
having to enter codes. I would welcome a clean, streamlined process for adding funds to my account.
