    What gift cards are valid? I have a gift card that is not from Microsoft but it is valid in the US. Will it work? If so, then how do I add it in my MS account?

    Gift cards will only work in the region they were created for. So if it was a gift card from the US, you could only use it if your account is set for the US.

    Do US XB gift cards work in UK?

    No as they would be in us dollars rather then pounds or Euro

    Currency cards are only available for their purchasing regions no online console service will allow you to use an out of region currency in an wrong account as they are not in the business of exchange rates nor do they transfer between regions

    Will I be able to fortnite vbucks /in-games items in another country when bought from microsoft.com

    You've answered your question in the final sentence there. Store items can only be used in the country of purchase....it's the same with gift cards...a streamer in the United States tried to send me a $10 gift card code but it wouldn't work as I live in the UK

    Xbox gift cards

    Hi,

    Xbox Gift Cards only work for the region they are purchased for. Therefore a UK £5.00 card will not work in the U.S. You would need send them the money via PayPal or a bank transfer and then they can buy a gift card in their own region.

    My sons Microsoft account balance is set to USD as default but all his funds are in the alternative currency GBP account how do I set GBP as default ?

    His console and mine are set to UK and the gift card was purchased in UK. My balanace is default UK not that I use it but don’t want to give him uncontrolled access to my credit card.
