    Question About Microsoft Gift Cards

    Let's say I got a $20 gift card from something this Christmas. And I would buy
    Just Cause 3. Will I be able to pay $20 with the gift card and the remainder with the credit card on my account?

    Thanks.

    Got Deluxe Version of BF Hardline for $20

    So the wife got me a $25 gift card for Gamestop for my birthday, I had $20 already in my MS wallet. Between the gift card, which I spent on money for MS Wallet, the money that was already there, and EA Access discount, the game cost me $20 out of pocket
    for the deluxe version.

    Hey there LinkedVelocity -

    It sounds like your account may be a child account, is this correct? If so, that error message is by design. You can try making the purchase on an Xbox 360 console however you will need permission from the admin account associated with yours. That isn't
    a guarantee that you will be able to make the purchase, however.

    Apologies for any frustrations this may cause.

    How to buy xbox game pass ultimate without credit card on microsoft store or xbox app.

    Oh

    But I saw in another article that it is possible?

    So it's fake.

    I don't have a credit card, you need a bank account for paypal and my phone is blocked for paid text messages.

    Too bad I spent 20 PLN for a gift card and can't use it

    Thanks for the reply
