Have minecoins on microsoft account need to get them on switch

Hello Tony,

Thanks for coming to the forums. We understand have a question on moving in game currency. As far as I know in game currency doesn't transfer from one account to another. You can reach out to
Mojang support for a more definite answer on the issue.

Thanks,

Brad

Hello Francine Idowu,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

We totally understand that you want to get your Minecoins on your Nintendo Switch account. Have you tried restarting your Nintendo Switch console to see if the Minecoins appear? If not, please try that first.



If the Minecoins still do not appear, please ensure that you have linked your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account. You can do this by following these steps:



1. Open Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch

2. Select "Sign In" from the main menu

3. Select "Sign in with a Microsoft Account"

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account



If you have already linked your accounts and the Minecoins still do not appear, please contact Microsoft support for further assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and ensure that your Minecoins are properly linked to your Nintendo Switch account.

I hadn't tried to buy them on the switch. I have some money on my microsoft account and tried to buy some mine coins from there, i was able to buy 700 coins however there is no way to access them or know if they were added to the microsoft account associated with the switch and when I logged reloaded the game and relogged into the account the balance didnt reflect the added minecoins. I asked for a refund after finding conflicting information on the microsoft website about whether I can buy them on the microsoft account and use them on the switch. So my question is how do I buy them on my microsoft account so they are available on the switch.

As long as you have the same microsoft/Xbox account is linked to the 2 version of it you will have access to any skin or packs you bought through the minecraft store will be available for both platforms. But minecoins won't because, the platforms use
different currency (Tokens for ps4 and minecoins for pc, xbox, switch, and mobile)
