    Microsoft Account Balance, What is it Good For ?


    I was just wondering if my Microsoft Account Balance could be used to purchase hardware in the Microsoft store online ?

    Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

    How to check your Xbox MSP expiry dates

    I've seen some comments on this elsewhere in the forums, and while someone may have posted this before now, I've certainly not seen it.

    For those unaware and concerned over their Microsoft points expiring, you can check the exact date that they expire. Sign into Xbox.com with your gamertag, click My Account at top right, goto Billing History and then click the Payment Options tab, this will display your recent Microsoft points purchases and their expiration date. Naughty, naughty, Microsoft. :nono:

    All Microsoft points will expire 12-mths after their redeemed date. It's not just the points that you had on your account before they were converted to real currency, Microsoft points that you can still currently buy today will also expire after 12-mths.

    If you don't like Microsoft vapourising your virtual money then you'd be best to stick to the new Xbox Gift Cards, but with Xbox One and day-1 digital right around the corner I am sure most of us will use this money up before it gets checked out and placed into BillyG's bank account.

    And here's another bit of info from the FAQ, I'll bolden the interesting bit. It mainly states whenever you buy anything Microsoft automatically use the money that is closest to expiring.

    I have been waiting for my deposit for more than a year. (2)

    Keep in mind that the payment method they are looking for is a Microsoft account balance. A credit card or Paypal would not be what they are looking for. If you've never added an Xbox gift card to your account, you would need to do so in order to open a
    Microsoft account balance so they can deposit your credits.

    Cancel and refund Xbox gift card?

    Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.

    good evening

    I didn't understand, the gift card is redeemed only once and the balance remains in the account, what is refunded is a purchase, and the result if the balance is used and the balance is returned to the account, this can take a few hours.

    Hi, what gift cards are you trying to buy? Are you talking about your Microsoft reward balance or account balance?

    Does anyone know how to transfer money from your Microsoft account to your xbox account.

    Your Microsoft account balance would be the same as what you use on Xbox.

    Can I transfer a "redeemed" voucher?

    Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

    I apologize but it's not possible to transfer a voucher or gift card balance from one Microsoft account to another. Once it has been redeemed, it will always be associated with your account. However, what I can recommend is to use the voucher or Microsoft Account Balance to purchase items for your son's account.

    To do this, you can sign in to your Microsoft account and use your gift card balance to make a purchase on the Microsoft Store. The purchase will be charged to your Microsoft Account Balance and will be added to your son's account.
