    I need an Xbox Ambassador or Ranger to resolve my issue

    My friend has bought a game from US region and sent it to me as a gift but unfortunately i can’t redeem the gift code and it keeps telling me (Contact the seller to get a code that works in your region / This code was purchased in a different region and
    cannot be redeemed.) although i tried using the same US region, BTW I've tried all this throw the console but with no success

    No puedo canjear un código I sent a gift to a friend from another region without knowing that it was not possible :( [Translation - I can't redeem a code]

    Hi Trolencito!

    Thank you for your post. If an item is sent as a gift from another region the item will not be redeemable. Since the region based content is unable to be redeemed, the purchaser of that gift can

    Request a Refund
    for the item purchased.

    I hope this information helps, thanks again.

    Hi Jumpalois,

    In these occasions with gifting, if the gift is sent to a different region it won't be able to be redeemed. So what would need to be done to resolve this gift purchase, is to contact

    Live support
    .

    There's two ways to contact them, you'll be able to contact them either through phone, or chat.

    Me mandaron un código desde el extranjero y no me permite cangearlo[They sent me a code from abroad and it does not allow me to exchange it]

    Hi Bryan,

    Thank you for your post. I understand you are experiencing redeeming a gift that was sent to your from someone in another region. Unfortunately, gifts can only be sent within a domestic region. Your friend will most likely need to

    Request a Refund
    since your account is unable to redeem the item.

    I hope this helps.

    Hi,

    This is probably because your friend bought the gift card from another region, maybe for some cost purpose, and gift card are region locked.
