    Are digital Windows gifts refundable under the right conditions or exchangable?


    I recently gifted what I thought was Minecraft Java Edition to a friend so that we could both join a realm. However, the Minecraft for Windows 10 edition was bedrock, and realms between the two aren't cross platform. Is there a way I can get a refund so I can gift the correct version or exchange it for Java?

    :)

    First, welcome to the Xbox community.

    We appreciate your coming to the Xbox community. As a shipper, you can return the item for a refund. The recipient cannot return or exchange the gift code.

    Important: You must request a refund for a non-refundable code within 14 days of purchase. If the code has been redeemed, we will not be able to process a refund, even if it is less than 14 days old.

    I gifted a dlc for the wrong platform on accident.

    Hi, UpdateSonix! thank you for reaching out.
    My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

    The only way to exchange your purchase would be to submit a refund for it and then purchase the correct version of this DLC. Unfortunately, a digital gift can't be refunded once the recipient has redeemed its code. This is mentioned in the Microsoft Gift Terms and Conditions (digital goods):

    "4- Returns and Refunds. Gifts may be canceled and refunded to the Gift purchaser up to 14 days after the purchase or until redeemed by the Gift recipient, whichever occurs first".

    Why can't you refund gifts?

    No as they are one-time.use

    As per the terms of the gift once redeemed it can't be refunded

    Gifts can only be refund if it hasn't been redeemed

    If any of those conditions are met.you cannot refund it

    The refund policy otherwise only apply for Purchased games not gifted games under 14 days or 2hours of gameplay

    Gift games.conditions are unused or Same region as the gifter that's it

    This is the same with any giftcard

    Bought a digital gift game for a friend, but they already have it.....what now?

    That is not how the gift system works. If the recipient already has the game or doesn’t want it
    the recipient can give the code to someone else to redeem. Or, they can ask you to
    return the item for a refund. The recipient can’t return or exchange the gift code.

    Quick warning: You must request a refund for an unredeemed code within 14 days of making the purchase. If the code has been redeemed, we’re unable to process a refund, even if it’s within 14 days of purchase. For more info, see
    Microsoft Gift Terms and Conditions (digital goods).

    Digital Game Refund?

    Incorrect,you can get refunds on digital purchases under certain conditions.

    Not liking a game a couple of months after release is not one of them though.
