Alright, so I bought my friend an Xbox gift card for his birthday a few days ago. The problem is that he lives in another country (England) than me (America) and it won't let him redeem the code because of the difference in currency. If I were to log into
his account, would it let me redeem the code? If there is another way then please let me know. I don't want to mess anything up.

No, the account would need to be set to the region of the code's origin and only be used in that regions store. It will not convert.

Unfortunately, you can't sign into your friends account, as his account would still be an UK based account, even if you signed into it from the USA.

Additionally, allowing a third party to access ones account is against the Microsoft Terms of Use, and your friend would risk a suspension on his account if he were to let you access his account.

Since Microsoft can't do currency conversion, your friend can not use the currency code you have in any way.

If you really wish to gift him a currency gift card, you'd better go to
https://www.amazon.co.uk (make sure it's .co.uk, not .com) and buy him a gift card in British Pounds.

You can then use the US Dollar gift card for yourself or another friend in the US.
