Error 80122734 occurs when you try to redeem an Xbox gift card on Xbox 360
Problem

You see the following error code when you try to redeem an Xbox gift card:

• Error 80122734

This means that the currency that the gift card is in doesn’t match the currency used by your Microsoft account. For example, you have a gift card in Canadian dollars. That card can’t be redeemed on a US Microsoft account, which uses US dollars.

Solution

To resolve this problem, you can try to return or exchange the Xbox gift card at the retailer from whom you purchased it. Then, make sure that you obtain a card in the correct currency for your Microsoft account.

Your issue is that you bought an out of region currency code

That's the problem.

Since you wanted to redeem the code you have to redeem it only on an UK account that's why they agent told you to do so

It's not ms fault you bought the wrong code

All currency codes a can only be redeemed and used on the region they were purchased in

Even if you move back to us account in 3 months the currency doesn't transfer between regions and the 3month limit is a hard limit

It isn't meant to be used just for using out of region codes but actual moves

You should've purchase the correct one

Your would sti have to buy a us currency code
