    Microsoft Currency between regions


    I really believe there should be a way to exchange the currency between regions. The reason why I am saying this is because; I have a friend from canada that gave me 504 currency from his canada region. My region is USA. I changed my region to Canada so
    I could maybe use it. I need a Canada credit card in order to use the currency. There should be a way that microsoft is able to exchange the currency for something that is equal value. Because at this point I have waited a month to try and use the currency
    that was given to me and I can't even use it. There really needs to be a fix for it. If someone could help me make this exchange it would be really helpful. I don't want to have my friend waste money and me not be able to use it.

    :)

    Hello Nigel BeastMode,

    Your deposit was prevented due to a mismatch between your UK Rewards Account region and your US Microsoft Account region. When you register into the Rewards program, we create a Rewards account based on your Microsoft Account region at the time of registration.
    Since your Rewards Account is a separate entity from your Microsoft Account, migrating your Microsoft Account region will not also change your Rewards Account region. Therefore, when your Rewards Account attempts a deposit in one regional currency, it cannot
    complete when your Microsoft Account is of a differing currency.

    first there is no official way to gift currency as it tends to lead to fraud and breaking the TOU

    if you exchange a code everything is on you

    seeing as currency and ms points were always region locked why wouldn't you have told your "friend" the region of your account

    no ms is not in the business of currency exchange no gaming company is

    you are trying to use the system in a way it isn't meant to be used

    "gifting" isn't really allowed as you are not supposed to use your account for commercial services not to mention migrating an account to an region you don't actually live in will only cause problems like region locks
