    Gift for friend in a different country.


    I want to gift Rainbow Six Siege to a friend in New Zealand (I live in the UK). The easiest way I thought would be to buy a digital code (instead of disc) and send it to him. Most I have found have been region blocked however. Then I thought of a gift card
    but I can't do that because of the different currency's. What can I do?

    Thanks.

    :)

    Gift Card from different country

    Gift cards will only work for the region they are made for. You can try contacting the shop you purchased it from to return it, but there's no way to make it work in a different region.

    Gift Card from different country

    Hello all,

    just bought a gift Card via de-DE (Germany) shop. Now I am located in Swiss and I cannot use that Gift Card: Error message is "...wrong Country..."

    Anyone knows what to do?

    Thanks

    A friend bought me a game but I can't use the code

    Unfortunately you can't gift games if your friend lives in a different country. He will have to either gift to another friend in the US or request a refund. It does state at purchase that gifting is only available in the same country.

    Redeeming Xbox Gift Cards from Different Regions

    Unfortunately that is not possible. I've made gift purchases and neither of my friends living in a different region could gain access to retrieve the gift because they lived in a different country.

    code not redeemable because of region, seller is literally xbox microsoft store

    There are a couple of reasons gifts are region locked, taxation laws in different Countries and game licence within each Country. It does state at point of purchase that gifts are region locked. Your friend will have to attempt a refund. Sorry.

    CAn't redem my code , pls help

    Hi there,

    based on the error message, it could be caused that your friend Gifted this via Xbox Live.

    If your friend gifted this from a different country region, then I'm afraid you can't do anything about it.

    In such case, your friend needs to contact Xbox Support via Phone (or Chat) to try and get the gift refunded.

    A Gifted code can only be used in the country region it's purchased in, this is mentioned before the purchase is made.
