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?

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.

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.

 

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.

 

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.

 

OP I agree. I think you should add funds over XBL.

 

How about buying a microsoft gift card with your PayPal account?

 

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

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

 

I have been having the same issue. I want to buy Advanced Warfare but it won't let me use the $16 that's in my account to partial pay. i hope they fix this soon.
