  1. Microsoft's Refund Policy needs work


    To start off, I love Microsoft. I have been with the company for almost 11 years now and I am still supporting they're products.

    So to the main point.

    The other day, I bought a game that was about $20 and I played it and It didnt live up to my expectations. I tried to refund it the next day and was denied almost 6 hours prior to my request. I was kinda pissed off despite the fact that I didnt like the
    game and didnt even have 2 hours playtime on it.

    The refund advocate I was assigned gave me no clear reason on why my request was denied. Therefore, I couldn't try to refund the game again. This made me a bit irritated.

    In 2019, I had bought the game "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim" for $25 USD and I didnt really like it. I refunded it and got my money back no problem.

    I want the reason why this request was denied but my Skyrim one wasnt.

    :)

    Microsoft's Refund Policy Needs Work

    My guess is you could've experienced something like I have where if you've used up a certain amount of refunds within a time (They don't specify the exact amount), they'll deny you a refund. They've done this twice to me already even on games I've only
    put a max an hour in.

    C&C Red Alert from GoD stops at 10%

    Yeah it's annoying. I've looked through so many threads and it's the same solutions that everyone has told them aren't working. They need to take responsibility and cut out that bull no refund policy. We need a better way to make this public and rub microsofts
    nose in it for treating its costumers this way. We all deserve to be mailed hard copies and full refunds for their incompetence.

    unable to download game on my xbox

    We don't work for Microsoft so we can't do anything. This is why it's recommended that your account region match your physical location. Microsoft does have a no refund policy.

    Some sort of refund for a game

    Hey there!

    We've all been here before, wishing that we had not bought a certain game or DLC...

    As general policy, Microsoft does not refund games or content. If you bought the game on a disc from a retail store then you would have to review that store's return policies.

    Unfortunately, I know of no work around or policy language that would entitle you to any type of refund.

    Sorry :(

    Cheers,

    How can I get a refund from untouched Anthem -game?

    Hello There,

    The refund policy is in place so it doesn't get abused. As in the past people would play games beat it then refund. As this isn't the case for all of us, they made a universal policy. Under their Microsoft service agreement states there is no refund for
    digital content. So this policy is actually a good thing. You will need to email the support agent back that helped you if you want to appeal the refund denial.

    g. Refund Policy. Unless otherwise provided by law or by a particular Service offer,
    all purchases are final and non-refundable. If you believe that Microsoft has charged you in error, you must contact us within 90 days of such charge. No refunds will be given for any charges more than 90 days old. We reserve the right to issue
    refunds or credits at our sole discretion. If we issue a refund or credit, we are under no obligation to issue the same or similar refund in the future. This refund policy does not affect any statutory rights that may apply. For more refund information, please
    visit our help topic.

    Thanks,

    Brad
