    Moving A Full Game Code From One Account To Another (Trade in, gift, etc.)


    I have seen plenty posted on all the bells and whistles of the new gaming systems. The ability to play at friends houses as long as I am signed in. Even going so far as to make a 'friend's" xbox one my home system so that it reads as being on there for anyone
    there to play.

    What I have yet to see is ANYTHING on trading in digital download codes. That or moving them from one account to another, or gifting them to someone else.

    Example: I play a digital "retail" version of a game. I complete said game. I no longer have any use for it; other than to have friends play on my system, or making "their" Xbox my "home" Xbox, and them playing the game as if it were their own ON THAT CONSOLE.

    So the question is (more specifically,) how do I go about "gifting" a digital downloaded game to a friend/relative/co-worker/etc.?

    I have run myself insane going through all the forum entries on the basics, and "how to" threads for new users. Nothing of which I have run across that mentions anything about the digital (download codes) for full retail games.

    Can someone direct me to; or walk me through the procedure on how this is accomplished? (Trade in, gifting, et al.)

    Thanks for any and all help in this matter.

    :)

    Xbox scammed me

    It's no scam. When you redeem a code onto an account, it ties the value of that code onto that account.

    So the $50 is tied to the account that redeemed the code on and you'll have access to the funds on that account.

    Xbox Support can't refund or transfer funds or licenses from one account to another.

    Options -

    Download that profile/account to your Xbox One and sign into that account and if you're trying to buy a game, you can buy a game as a "gift" and send that gift to your other account.

    How do I set up an Xbox One to a new Microsoft account without losing all the data?

    the only problem is if the original email is a Microsoft one (@live @hotmail etc) it will close that account down.

    As stated it is not possible to move data from one account to another.

    Xbox balance on account

    stored value

    What happens if I buy a Microsoft gift card in Germany in euros and add it to my account, and then move to the United Kingdom? Does it convert from euros to British pounds?

    Balances are not converted from one currency to another. You must spend the value of the currency in which it was purchased. You will have to buy another Microsoft gift card when you move to another country or region, because the balance you have in one
    currency will not work in another marketplace.

    xbox giftcards

    Jeff,

    How are you my friend? Sorry about the mix up. Unfortunately you cannot move Microsoft balances from one account to another, but you can definatly purchase games as gifts to send to another account. Here is a link to explain how to do that.

    Help with gifting digital gifts.
