    Microsoft online balance does not match XBox account balance


    My son was trying to purchase an in-app item and asked my permission as per the restrictions I’ve set. He needed more money so i added money online to his microsoft account. He originally had $5.02 and I added $10.00. When logging onto the Microsoft account online it shows his account balance to be $15.02. When he goes to purchase the in-game pack it says he still has $5.02.
    I just spent 30 minutes on the phone with Microsoft for them to tell me to wait 24 hours to update. If that doesn’t work to call them back. This seems to be a common problem but nothing we have done has seemed to work. I guess we will wait 24 hours.

    :)

    I’ve added a gift card to my account but when I go to purchase a game it doesn’t let me pay with the funds.

    Hi Thomas! I'm more than happy to help you!

    Kindly confirm if the Xbox gift card balance was successfully added to your account by signing on to account.microsoft.com > Payment and Billing > Order history.

    If it's successfully added, make sure that the gift card balance region and the Xbox store region on your console are matched.

    Try to purchase the game on the Xbox Store online web browser and ensure that the store, your account, and Microsoft balance region are matched.

    Please take your time and let me know if it works.

    Best regards,
    Darhyl

    Account balance issues with child account

    Hi there! My name is Darhyl and I’d be more than happy to help you with your query.

    I'm sorry you are experiencing this with your Account balance.

    Please confirm the $13.50 Microsoft credits on your son's account by signing on to account.microsoft.com > payment and billing > payment option.

    Once you have confirmed the balance, kindly try to have your son purchase in Xbox store in the web browser online. Ensure that the Xbox store, his account and his Microsoft balance regions are all matched.

    If the Microsoft balance is in USD, make sure that the Xbox Store is in US region.

    Thank you for your kindness and understanding! Please feel free to let me know if you need anything else.

    Best Regards,

    I redeemed a xbox gift card on my pc and I see it on my Xbox balance but I can't use it to make purchases. How do I fix this?

    Hi DaneSaddler, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

    This may mean that the Microsoft balance does not match your store region.

    Make sure that the Microsoft balance currency/region is the same as your Microsoft Store region, physical location, billing address, and account region.
