I cannot add a Debit Card to purchase MINECRAFT

Hello, Jason Ivander Oeidjaja

Welcome to the Microsoft Community.

I'm sorry that you're experiencing issues with Debit Card not being added properly.

Generally, Debit Cards can be added as a payment method normally, and I wanted to confirm with you the way you added it and the error message below, for the normal way of adding a Debit Card, I would suggest you to refer to the articles Update your payment method | Xbox Support and see if that helps.

I would also like to know if there are any error messages or instructions for when you fail to add a Debit Card, as this would be helpful for me to understand your issue better and provide better support.

Best Regards.

I cannot purchase any games or apps from windows store on xbox as it asks for Visa and other international cards..there is no option for local debit cards

Is there any way to purchase using the local card

India region accepts debit and credit cards issued in India.

Why not? The balance in the account is real, it was purchased with real currency. Like I said above, I cannot use a debit or credit card for the purchase because both Microsoft and my debit card/credit card issuer block the purchase and even if I call them to confirm it is me, the transaction never goes through.

Busty Sloth,

Unfortunately you cannot purchase currency via your console to add to your MS account. You would need to buy Xbox Gift Cards (denominated in your local currency) through online retailers and in local retail stores and then redeem them on your Xbox console
OR you could add another payment option (credit card, debit card, etc.) to make the purchases. Hope this helps!

Sorry to hear it. Unfortunately currency cannot be used for this purchase. I'm afraid that you can only use a credit card, debit card or paypal to make this purchase.
