Buy minecoins with account credit

some games have their special currencies that nothing else with their cards of special currencies can be changed the same is the case, but if what it asks you is a payment method like paypal or credit card and debit card, select use account balance as
first payment option

It could be that the minecoins can not be bought with gift cards, only with a credit card A greeting!

There sometimes tends to be items avaliable in the Microsoft Store or avaliable through a game's in-game store that cannot be bought with an account balance and must either be purchased online manually or with a valid billing account. You may want to hop
online and try to contact either Microsoft's or Mojang's customer support about the issue as they'd know exactly how to get the purchase through.

It may also be that you have a passkey set up for purchases on the Xbox. That is to prevent unauthorised purchases, please check out the following link.

Hello, Anna Casey.

We appreciate you posting in Microsoft Community.



I noticed that you want to get Minecoins for your child.

I'm glad to have the opportunity to help you with this issue.



As far as I know, he should be able to buy Minecoins from the in-game Market Place, but the exact payment method may be related to the payment system of the device he is using.



Of course, you can try to buy them by logging into his Minecraft account on the following page:
