Sincerely,

are you sure they were prepaid NZ ms points some countrys do carry multi national points you need to take that up with the vender

(usually unsupported countries do that)

because prepaid MS points are region locked ALL OF THEM

and they cannot be redeemed in the wrong region accounts there is no IFs about it

redeeming a wrong region ms points in the incorrect region is a INVALID code error

you can purchase australian ms points online on your xbox with your australian account with an australian creditcard but you cannot buy prepaid nz ms points cards and put them on a australian account that comes back with invalid code error

(lower right corner will state the region)



nz ms points can be purchased as a prepaid card or on a nz account

Hello epicplaneflyer,

We see that your Xbox Live Account region is currently set to Argentina. Since that country is not a Rewards eligible region, you cannot sign up for the program.

I've taken this from the error page.

Sign-in issues:

You might hit a sign-in error if:

You're trying to sign in to the app in a country or region where the service is unavailable.

You're trying to sign in on a computer that is in a different country than where your account is based.

Make sure that when you sign in to an app, the country or region set on your computer is the same as the country that your Xbox Live account was created in. If these do not match, you will not be able to sign in.

Does this apply to you?
