Trying To buy Minecraft Java but getting a Purchase error saying to Validate card info.

Hi there! Welcome to the community forum Christopher here, an Xbox fan just like you and been on Xbox for years already. I would really love to make your day by helping you out. Payment errors are often difficult to track down; they can happen in different steps of the payment process for a few reasons.

Troubleshoot Purchasing

Try your purchase on another web browser or device, and make sure that the browser is the most current version.

Try a different payment method in the online store. There are several different payment methods available.

Note: Payment methods may vary depending on your country.

Use a Minecraft Prepaid Card

If you are still not able to make a purchase, you may be able to buy a Minecraft prepaid card and use that.

Minecraft prepaid cards can be used on a Microsoft account (that does not already own a copy of the game) and entitle the cardholder to one Minecraft license (one copy of Minecraft). 

I got this error code and im trying to buy a game and NO i do not have prepaid card i just have a debit card that i use all the time on many things and it's irritating on how many times i put the info in only for it to say the error and when i type it online
it says "Please enter a valid credit card number." so how can i get this sorted out cause my banks says im good with the money and everything fine so what's the problem ?

HI ower set x,

Thanks for reaching out to us in the forums with this question. the promotion for buying the Minecraft: Java Edition and receiving the Windows 10 version for free is only valid if the Java Edition was purchased prior to October 19, 2018, so that is no longer
valid at this time. If you did make the purchase of the Java Edition prior to that date, you would need to go to your Mojang account in order to claim the gift code. For further information concerning this, you may check out the topic

Minecraft for Windows 10 available on the Mojang website.

I hope that this helps out!

I'm trying to purchase Minecraft Java & Bedrock Bundle which is 29.99$
but as I said it keeps asking for debit or credit card

That’s odd because if this is the Minecraft for Windows it will be purchased through Microsoft Store. The Minecraft that can be purchased through Mojang is Minecraft Java Edition.

Kindly make sure that you’re signed in under the account where the Mojang account was migrated. Please try other Microsoft accounts as well.

Thanks Francia, maybe i am mistaken and it is java edition that I own.
I would like to add that when I log into minecraft.net and click on 'Get Minecraft' > 'Minecraft Java Edition' it gives me a download option NOT a buy option and says beside it "Already own Minecraft? Download it again."

I have submitted a ticket to Mojang with screenshots of everything so hopefully, we will be able to figure this out soon.
