Impossible to redeem 4200 Microsoft Points

While redeeming Microsoft Points gift card, says code is invalid

Few months ago it was still working, but now tested 3 different cards with no luck.

Why was not announced the end of support of Microsoft Points?

I bought many pieces, but now it seems that my money is wasted.

Redeem on website tells me to use the code on console, and console shows that the code is invalid.

Is there any posibility to redeem codes, or to get a spare one?

Same problem here! I've been redeeming my MS points cards for years too (last time in August 2019!) on my X360 and I've always got local currency with one year expiration. So I've been naturally saving them until I really wanted to use them. Now it says
the codes are invalid to me too. But I did neither receive nor find any information whatsoever that MS would have planned to stop accepting MS points.

I found this thread (https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/has-anything-changed-to-microsoft-points-codes-are/f3602a2e-41f9-4916-b05a-dcb9346f5587) from May 2020, regarding the same topic. Its founder has the same problem, while another user
claims he still could redeem MS points in March 2020. So something must have happened this spring and no one knew about it.

I still have a few MS points codes I was saving due to every year's expiration of exchanged local currency. Please tell me I wasn't saving them to be wasted without ANY further notice.

Microsoft points were discontinued in 2013 and there were a lot of announcements at the time about the change.

Points as payment yes, but last announcement said that redeeming Points will charge account with local currency.

https://news.xbox.com/en-us/2013/08/09/xbox-one-local-currency/

"Don’t worry about your Microsoft Points Cards either. We’ll continue to accept purchased Microsoft Points Cards and codes until further notice, and we’ll add to your account an amount of local currency equal to or greater than the Marketplace
value of those points."

It means that Microsoft Points is same as Microsoft Money.

I am using them for years, last used in december 2019.

Last week I want to redeem one, but code did not work.

So someone may turned off database with this type codes, or something like that.
