Purchasing Vbucks with Microsoft balance

Kimarie42 · Sep 13, 2020

I have added $25 to my son's Microsoft account. He is trying to buy vbucks on Fortnite ($19.99). I have tried purchasing them on his account but am given no option to use his balance. Just PayPal, debit, gift card, and other. I need to do this within
2 days please.

Thanks for the reply. If the Microsoft account balance is essentially a gift card, is there a way to use that to purchase Vbucks? If not, what can we do to facilitate the purchase of Vbucks (or are we really limited with what that Microsoft account balance can buy us?)?

And would you happen to know why the Xbox all of a sudden wouldn’t accept Vbucks purchases via the usual way (PayPal) and sent my son down the path of having to ask a parent (the purchase the Microsoft credit)?

Hi there! I would suggest logging in and trying to use your balance in the Microsoft store

Here to purchase the vbucks. Just make sure you are signed in to the account you want to use the vbucks on and the vbucks will be added to that Microsoft account.

We are having the same issue. The money is in the account but we can not use it in fornite.

ANSWER!!! I also had this same question, and thanks to one of the answers given here, we went to the Microsoft Store and searched for "Fortnite" and there was the skin that my son was trying to purchase. So, follow the same steps, and buy from the Microsoft
Store rather than inside the game. Good luck!

Jesus, can you read the question I asked. I didn't ask you to tell me to check my balance. I want to know why Fortnite will not let me buy vbucks with my Microsoft balance. The only way I can buy them is with a debit/credit, PayPal, mobile phone, or gift
card. I was told BY MICROSOFT to put a balance on his account to buy this and now i SPECIFICALLY cannot use my balance. Answer the question I asked because I've already checked all the other **** 10 times.
