    Minecraft not recognizing Microsoft balance


    I have added money to my daughter’s microsoft account for use with minecraft many many times over the years, most recently august 28th. Never had a problem. But now minecraft keeps telling her she doesnt have enough money to buy stuff, and when i log into
    her microsoft account she currently has $21.11. I added $10 yesterday but it said she had to add funds. We waited 24 hours thinking it was just slow to process, tried again this morning, same thing. I added $10 more, still have the same problem. We cant buy
    minecoins or with dollars. Please help!!

    She is playing on a windows desktop, not an xbox, but there’s no Minecraft section to post under so i wasnt sure where to put this.

    :)

    I have $10.87 in my Microsoft account. I try to buy $5.99 Minecoins through Minecraft on Xbox One and it sends it to my parent for permission. When my parent approves, it tells them they have to add money to my account.

    Same thing happening to us. Microsoft website showing correct account balance, but buying minecoins from Minecraft on Win 10 fails because it thinks balance is much lower ($1.16 instead of $17.17).

    Confusingly, buying games from the Windows 10 store works. So the glitch seems to be Minecraft specific.

    Ok this is weird—I logged into my kid’s account to see if the balance was correct there (before I had been looking at the balance from the family page in my account). After I did that, he was able to buy minecoins. Seems unlikely to be a coincidence.
