Split payment using amount left over from xbox gift code and debit card?

Thank you for your help have a great day.

Hello Phillip M, my name is Oskayra, and I will be happy to help you.

Beforehand, it is important that you keep in mind that this is a public community forum, so we are players like you, we are not employees of Microsoft or Xbox, so we do not have access to any user account or check anything from the forum. All users help each other with common problems.

I am very sorry for the problem you are experiencing, I invite you to read what Microsoft Support says about your question, and I invite you to follow the suggested steps:

How to spend all the money on the Microsoft gift card:

When you redeem a Microsoft gift card, we place the full amount into your Microsoft account. If an item you want to purchase from the Microsoft Store costs more than what you have in your account, here's what you can do.

1. If you don't have another payment option in your Microsoft account, such as a credit card or PayPal, you can Add one: https://account.microsoft.com/payments

2. Proceed to checkout. If your Microsoft account is not the payment option, choose Change, then select it.

3. Complete the purchase. We'll use your Microsoft account balance first, then pay the difference with the other payment option.

Thank you for your patience, I hope everything can be resolved. I will be attentive to your response. Blessings.

Did you split payment for the game or did you use the full amount of the gift card towards the game?

this is to a moderator/xbox staff member: (regarding xbox avatar store/marketplace)

instead of using a credit card as a payment option could i use an xbox gift card? say the gift card was $10.00. any time i bought an avatar prop the amount would be deducted from the $10.00, correct? once that amount is gone i'd get another gift card to
replace it? how do i know how much is left on the gift card?

If you used account credit to pre-order your game, your balance will be debited immediately. If you used a credit card or split your payment between your credit card and account balance, you will be charged 10 days before the game launches.
If your account balance is less than the authorized billing amount for the order, the remainder will be debited from your credit card. We'll send an email to your billing account confirming that the remainder of your card payment has been successfully debited and that the game will be available for you to play on launch day.
