can i activate game pass with a vanilla gift card

If you going to do.that.prepare.to pay fees

There is the international transaction fee etc

Prepaid creditcards arent meant for.gaming or reoccurring purchases

They are meant for one time .purchase really

You have to register payment info and turn on online transactions and reoccurring purchases and then try if it doesn't work buy a new card since its 50/50 if it works.or not

Like I said they aren't meant for online purchases

You can get.digital gift cards .from .real banks that work better depending on your region

Vanilla mastercard (gift card) doesnt work

Mine wont work cause I think it is a vanilla gift card

Gift cards in Game Pass go directly into your account. It should be active now.

Yes it was one of those Vanilla Gift gift cards, and I still have the card.

Xbox did refund me the $1.01 I used to pay for the game, but the rest of the game was paid for by the card, which I didn't get back.

Hope this information helps, if it doesn't then I will proceed to contact their customer service.
