Redeemed minecoins that went into the wrong account

Hello, Wenc514. Thanks for reaching out. I'm Lucas, an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user just like you. I'll be glad to help you out.

Unfortunately, nothing can be transferred between accounts. And usually vendors do not refund gift cards once they are redeemed - so do Xbox. Sorry about this.

The only way to prevent this is to make sure you are signed in with the same account that will receive the code and double check when redeeming the code.

Feel free to ask back any questions.

Hello Crystal, please check which gamertag account you redeemed the giftcard on. You can share minecoins on accounts.

Hi Jesse,

Thank you for that advise. I have reached out and they have were able to 'grant' (their words) the minecoins.

I now wonder what I did wrong or if there is a better way of adding these minecoins to the account? I am nervous to add a second card I have.

This is the link I used and scrolled down to the card that matched the one in my hand.
