  1. Can't purchase a game using my Microsoft Currency and Paypal?


    For the past two days, I've been trying to purchase Black Flag on the Xbox One. A $60.00 Value. I currently have $22.00 in my Microsoft Account, and $50.00 in my Paypal. More than enough to purchase my game. But for some reason, I cannot use both my Microsoft
    account with my Paypal. Why don't you want my money, Microsoft?

    :)

  2. Signing new console for BETA program

    Well, my son apparently signed our console up for the BETA program, for the Microsoft Points to Local Currency program. I just bought a new console, and redeemed a code for Microsoft points on my new console. I found that my new console shows a zero balance
    for Microsoft points, but my account as a $50.00 local currency credit. All purchases on the old console are done under the BETA program for local currency, but my new console is still using Points. So I can't purchase or download any content since my new
    console hasn't been signed up for BETA.

  3. Error code 0x8c150020

    Hey there TIMEMAN2010,

    You can purchase games using currency on their respective consoles: You can use currency to buy Xbox 360 games ON the Xbox 360 just like you can buy Xbox One games ON the Xbox One, but you cannot purchase Xbox 360 games on an Xbox One using microsoft currency.

    Can't purchase a game using my Microsoft Currency and Paypal?

    Hi,

    it is not possible to split a purchase on two payment methodes.

    The best way is to deposit 10$ on your PayPal Acount an use the 22$ for some other things.

  5. Thanks. Sadly that is not an option for me. It baffles me that Microsoft thought it would be a good idea to remove the feature to add funds to my account. It's a real shame, though. I was looking forward to buying the game today. But since Microsoft
    makes discussions I'll never understand, I have to wait til next payday.

    Can't purchase a game using my Microsoft Currency and Paypal?

    I had the same issue and ended up buying a gift card with my PayPal account from game.co.uk, in the end I saved about £5 as the £40 card was on offer at £35 and a few pence Can't purchase a game using my Microsoft Currency and Paypal? :)

    But as you say it's stupid you can't split over 2 payment methods.

    I have $9.59 in my Microsoft account and want a game for $9.99. I really have to pay the $9.99 out of pocket?

    Can I split payment between my local currency and a credit card?

    Yes. For most purchases, if the amount of local currency in your Microsoft account is not sufficient to pay for the content, you can charge the remainder to your credit card or PayPal account. PayPal availability varies by region. However, you must first
    select to purchase using your credit card or PayPal account and then you will see the option to use the remaining currency in your account. Split payment may not be an option for all content purchases.

    unable to use any form of credit card

    Hello LeonardSchultzW!

    Thanks for responding.

    Have you attempted to purchase Microsoft currency with your PayPal?

    Once you've purchased MS currency, you can use that to buy your GEMS for Cooking Fever.

    Use PayPal with your Microsoft account

    I hope this helps! Let us know!

    Pay with cash account MS.

    It's not possible to use the Microsoft account currency to purchase a gold subscription. Gold can only be purchased via a credit card/Paypal or by purchasing a prepaid card in a store.
