Question about xbox gift cards

DaRedWolf · May 25, 2019

Hi,

So my friend lives in Hawaii, and I live in the US at the moment. He bought me 15$ gift card (US) for my birthday, but i never bothered to actually spend the money. Anyways, im going to my Grandma's to Turkey for a couple of days, and will bring my Xbox
One with me. As far as im aware, even if my Region changes (Which it did to Turkey i suppose), I'll still have my 15$. My question is, I saw something on the Microsoft store which I like for 70TRY (Turkish Liras as im at my grandma's) and wonder if I can use
those 15$ while in Turkey to buy DLC's for a game, as 70TRY is 11.47$. Would I pay a little more to convert USD to TRY, and still be able to buy it? If not, how can I buy it then? I currently dont have Paypal since Im not 18, and all I get is from my Parents
or Friends, and as far as im aware, in Turkey, they dont sell xbox cards.

Thanks!

:)

Hi,

If you have money on your account then that is the default method Microsoft will use to take the payment, unless you also have another payment option and you choose this instead.

If you buy something with your account balance, it will not show on a bank statement.

You can also split payments between account balance and credit/debit cards. Any credit/debit payments from split purchases would show on a statement however.

Hi

You won't be able to use it in the Turkish store as it is in US dollars. You won't have any Turkish lira on your account to spend, it will be added to you US dollar account balance. You can keep the region of the Xbox as the US when you take it to Turkey.

I would attempt to use the gift card. You don't know if it will or won't work unless you try it.
