Transfer Microsoft Gift Card funds to XBox child account

When you purchase an Xbox gift card, make sure that the currency you use matches the currency associated with the recipient’s billing account. Otherwise, the recipient will be unable to redeem the gift card.

If you redeem an Xbox gift card in a country that doesn’t match the country associated with your billing account, you won’t be able to use those funds.

The funds in your Microsoft account can’t be transferred after you redeem your Xbox gift card.

You can’t use funds in your Microsoft account to purchase physical goods from online stores.

360 content can't be gifted and funds can't be transferred between accounts. You could get them an Xbox gift card to pay for it, but you wouldn't be able to use the funds from your account for that.

This is horrible. My mother in law gave us a $100 gift card for Christmas to split equally between our 4 kids. We thought we could surely just divvy it out to each of their accounts that are under our family umbrella. They really want to buy the credit points for their rocket league accounts. I am learning it is not possible for us to move this money to their accounts. I cannot buy them each their own gift cards with the money to put on their accounts. I can't even gift buy the rocket league credits. What the???? Seriously. It is money and we are trying to use it. Why in the world can't we use it to buy something from your store no matter what it is?

Hello, how are you? My name is Mateus. I'm an Independent Advisor and I'll be glad to help you today.

First, welcome to the Xbox community. Unfortunately, a balance already applied to your account cannot be transferred, in fact, nothing can be transferred between Xbox Live accounts.

You can use that balance from your account to buy him something as a gift if you want to.

*Thank you in advance for contacting, I hope this can help you.

Would like transfer fund into my grandson Microsoft account, it not family account.

Hello, you are unable to transfer the funds directly to your grandson. You may however purchase a digital gift card that will provide a code that can be redeemed on the Microsoft Store, directly from your grandson's Xbox. I have provided two links. One in
which you can purchase the digital gift card, and another that shows how to redeem codes.
