Not being able to do anything in an Xbox party

Hello ACR briteops,



Greetings!



Thank you for posting in Microsoft Community.



It seems that you're having trouble using your Xbox gift card to make a purchase. This issue could be caused by a few different things, such as an issue with your account or a problem with the Xbox store. Let us check and see on what we can do to help address your concern timely.

Here are a few steps you can try to resolve the issue:

1. Make sure that your Xbox Live account is up to date and that your payment information is correct.

2. Check to see if the item you're trying to purchase is available in your region. Some items may not be available in certain countries or regions.

3. Try purchasing the item from a different device or browser. Sometimes, issues can be caused by a problem with your device or browser.



Please note that Microsoft balance can only be used to purchase items that are sold directly by Microsoft, and not by third-party sellers. Additionally, Microsoft balance cannot be used to purchase items that are priced lower than the balance amount.

Alternatively, you can try to find the same items on the Microsoft Store and purchase them using your Microsoft balance. You may check this article: Spend the money in my Microsoft account - Microsoft Support

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any further questions.



We look forward to your response. Kindly let us know, if there is any misunderstanding or clarifications of our description by sending us a reply.



Sincerely,

Hi Byiytchkla I'm sorry you're having party connection issues, as I used to have the same problem. The first thing I would do is got to settings/network and check to see if your NAT is anything besides Open. This can lead to slow connection being randomly
booted from games and party connection issues, and or not being able to hear anyone in the party.

i've tried several other games and only mw3 seems to have this issue and even trying to join parties from the dashboard seems to be an issue. but doing anything to party up seems to be a huge problem from invites not appearing to flat out not being able
to play

Yea its not showing up on my purchase items, but the money is gone from my card , my bank said something about not being able to do anything because a third party purchase. This is getting kinda annoying.

Microsoft wouldn't be able to do anything about a third party service.
