Contacting seller another region

If you gifted the game from the microsoft store with different currency to a friend in a different region, you should request a refund from your Microsoft account.

If its another seller you should contact them to get a refund, out of curiosity what seller did you buy from?

Bless you! A solution! The problem has been solved, but you must be commended on your efforts!

Hello Mr Zakerson,

I agree with M3tal Daz3, you should be able to contact the retailer for more information since the code didn't work specifically for your region. For another option, you can look at the

Xbox Redeem Prepaid Code page on how to switch your region so that the code can be redeemed.

Hope this helps!

Hi there,

if it were so simple they likely would, but since different regions have different taxes, laws and also pricing it just can't work like that.

Plus it states in the text prior to purchasing a gift that it is region bound.

That depends on where you have purchased the game code for as sometimes third party retailers should verify that for you. In your place I would follow the bot's suggestion and contact the retailer where that game was purchased from.
