    Gift card not working and can't take back to retailer

    Hi, I hope you're doing great out there despite the issue that you're experiencing. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regards to your concern.

    If I may ask, what is the error that you're getting whenever you're trying to redeem the code?

    Cancel and refund Xbox gift card?

    Well no as giftcards can't be refunded

    This is on the card itself

    You can cancel a purchase using a giftcards but giftcards fall under your retailer and no retailer in the world will take a gift card back your only option would be to sell the card at a discount online if unused

    If used and put onto your account then it's stays there

    You can refund purchases using the giftcards but as mentioned ir only goes to the original payment method

    .and since gift cards arent refundable they stay on your account

    I bought giftcards But it has been already redeemed

    Hi there.

    Unfortunately there is nothing that can be done by Microsoft in terms of redeemed gift cards. You will need to take the gift cards back to the retailer where you purchased them from and explain the issue. They may issue a new gift card or refund your purchase.

    Thanks,

    Hello HinataDragon,

    Thanks for keeping us updated. If the Xbox Gift Card is not activated, you will need to take it back to the retailer in order to get it activated. An Xbox Gift Card is activated when it is scanned out of the retailer's system. Some retailers require
    the card to be scanned in a specific manner, and that might be what's affecting the Xbox Gift Card. We have a support article that explains more about

    this specific scenario
    . We hops this information helps HinataDragon!

    12 month codes and credit code not redeeming.

    Error code 801613FB is preceded by the following message:

    Can't retrieve information from Xbox Live.

    If you get this message and error code, it means the card with the prepaid code might need to be activated by the retailer where you bought it.

    Solution 1: Wait 24 hours and if it’s still not working, take the card back to the retailer

    Some prepaid cards must be activated by a retailer. Activation can take up to 24 hours. If the card does not work 24 hours after purchase, take the card back to the retailer and ask them to activate it.

    support.xbox.com/.../error-code-lookup is your friend.
