    XBOX Live - Changing region

    your account region doesn't change with redemption codes

    are you buying the right codes?

    xbox gift cards are region locked meaning if you buy us gift codes they only work on us accounts

    if you have a Germany account region but buying us or uk codes that wont work iut will cause a us or uk billing account

    you have to buy currency cards based on your account region and actual region

    so if you are buying us currency cards but have Germany billing address you are causing a split billing where the us currency or foreign currency wont work on your local account

    xbox digital gifting

    Should be noted that if he isnt from the same region as you the code will not work

    When he gifts you a game you receive a code for the cash or game

    If you arent in the same region it will not work

    And yes gifted currency and games are region locked

    Xbox gift card from wrong region

    There’s nothing you can do except sell it or give it to someone who can use it. You cannot use gift cards, gift codes, or gifted games from another region. Currency exchange fees are very expensive, and individual divisions are responsible for their own
    income. And addition to this game licensing does not allow the purchase of a game owned by another company in your region. This is one way they keep who gets paid for what straight. Sorry about that

    I need help with minecraft purchase

    In the same region, yes or it MUST match the currency for the region it will be used in.

    See below.

    "When you purchase a Microsoft or Xbox gift card, make sure that the currency you use matches the currency associated with the recipient’s billing account. Otherwise, the recipient will be unable to redeem the gift card."

    https://support.xbox.com/en-CA/help/subscriptio...

    So to answer your question, yes, if you convert currency and buy it from the region the friend or family member is in, they can use it for themselves. Absolutely!

    But! You cant do this in hopes to bypass regional restrictions and purchase games for yourself from other regions that may offer their own deals or carry titles your region doesn't have

    Bought a gift card in Italy but not accepted in UK (region issue)

    Smwutches is correct. Gift cards are region locked to the region they were purchased in or the region where that currency is accepted. For instance the code you purchased will be for Euros the UK does not accept Euros as payment.

    There is no workaround
