Minecoins purchases from signed in account not linking to Microsoft account

Hi Seky,

Thanks for reaching out to the forums. We see you have question on purchasing Minecoins. You can purchase them on the Microsoft store. Here is a link to the

1,000 Minecoins. Make sure you are signed in on the Microsoft account you want them on.

Hope this helps.

Hello Francine Idowu,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community.

We totally understand that you want to get your Minecoins on your Nintendo Switch account. Have you tried restarting your Nintendo Switch console to see if the Minecoins appear? If not, please try that first.



If the Minecoins still do not appear, please ensure that you have linked your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account. You can do this by following these steps:



1. Open Minecraft on your Nintendo Switch

2. Select "Sign In" from the main menu

3. Select "Sign in with a Microsoft Account"

4. Follow the on-screen instructions to link your Microsoft account to your Nintendo Switch account



If you have already linked your accounts and the Minecoins still do not appear, please contact Microsoft support for further assistance. They will be able to help you troubleshoot the issue and ensure that your Minecoins are properly linked to your Nintendo Switch account.

We cant help with a nintendo question

This is not a Nintendo Question. The Minecraft game is owned by Microsoft. Your own game tells you on the startup screen to Link your Microsoft Account in order to preserve purchases from the Marketplace. I did that. I had 4000+ Minecoins (digital currency
directly related to Minecraft) and texture packs in the marketplace inventory. When I created and linked the Microsoft account, my Minecoins and purchases are no longer there. So there has been some kind of disconnect between Minecraft and the Microsoft
account. The Marketplace for Minecraft is not called "Nintendo Marketplace".

Hey Asher!

Nice to meet you! I'm Darhyl, a fellow gamer. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I am here to help.

If the Minecoins were purchased on your Microsoft account, chances are that your Minecoins is an Xbox version.

To confirm the version of your Minecoins, you can sign in to your account on account.microsoft.com > payment and billing > order history.

In order to use the Minecoins on your 3rd party platform, you will need to purchase the Minecoins directly from the PSN store.

(Note: Microsoft Xbox is a different platform to PlayStation)

No worries, you can still request a refund by signing your account here on the refund webform link and follow the instructions:

https://support.xbox.com/en-US/help/subscriptio...

Your refund will be accommodated by the refund webform team within 72 hours.

Thank you so much for your time! I hope you have a great day!
