i need to switch gift card methods

What is your region set to?

You can't buy a gift card with funds in your Microsoft account balance. That would be essentially buying a gift card with a gift card. You would need to buy a game or other content in the store and use your account balance as the payment method.

You cannot use gift cards to pay for subsciptions, only the specific Game Pass gift cards

You also need a method of payment on file, and your parent's permission to subscribe

To pay the rest of a purchase with a credit card and a gift card, you will need to make the purchase using the gift card first. Here is a general guide on how to do this:

Add the items you want to purchase to your shopping cart.

At checkout, select the gift card as your payment method.

Enter the gift card information and apply it to your purchase.

If the gift card does not cover the full amount of the purchase, you will be prompted to pay the remainder using another payment method. Select the credit card as the payment method and enter the credit card information.

Review your order and confirm the payment.

If you are unable to see the option to pay the rest with a credit card, it is possible that the gift card does not have enough balance to cover the full amount of the purchase. In this case, you may need to add another gift card or use a different payment method to pay the remainder.

If you are still having trouble with this process, it may be helpful to contact the retailer or the gift card issuer for further assistance. They may be able to provide additional guidance and help troubleshoot the issue.

Then you need to contact the payment method provider or try a different payment method, you can get gift cards on retail stores or even Amazon to purchase content
