    Ugh, I redeemed a code not realizing my friend bought me the wrong system version


    So, I'm 3 weeks into my Covid isolation since my job got shut down along with everyone else in the bar/restaurant industry I know, and the cabin fever is starting to seriously take hold. I was lamenting to a friend I've gamed with for about 20 years about
    my regrets on not buying the Ark Genesis season pass when I still, you know, had a life and a good paying job before the Plague came and crapped all over reality as we all know it. It was only a month ago since my job and everything else in Dallas shut down,
    but hoooo boy, a month in my house alone with my thoughts has been...well, let's say far less than ideal this last week. I'm starting to understand on a level far deeper than I ever wanted to how people in solitary confinement go literally insane.

    Anyways, he didn't tell me and gifted me Ark Genesis cause I'm on unemployment till we can start civilization back up again or I'm homeless, whichever happens first....but I don't have an Xbox, I only play on PC via steam.

    I was legit so freakin excited for anything that doesn't depress the ever-loving mmmhmm out of me this last week (Dallas weather has p much been like living in London, on top of everything else, and I was *just* getting over my Seasonal Affective Disorder)
    I slammed redeem before it even really registered the email was from microsoft and not steam.

    I feel absolutely awful my friend wasted his money on a game I can't play...is there ANY way I can get it refunded back to him, or even just like, unredeem the code on my account so he can have the code back and give it to someone else? Obviously I haven't
    downloaded the game, since I don't even own an Xbox since my son's broke a couple months ago...surely there's got to be *some* way I can at least just get the code revoked from my account so he can give the code to someone else to redeem? Please? I feel
    terrible he wasted his money on it due to my extended isolation making me ADD as all get out. =(

    He'd just give the code to someone else, so it's not like MS would even lose money on the sale if they would just revoke the code from my acct and reissue a new one to his acct, I just feel absolutely terrible I redeemed it before reading what system it was
    for first. I feel even worse because he's such a great guy he rebought it for me on Steam when I told him how I messed it all up and being out of work, well, if I had a way to pay him back right now, I'd just have bought it for myself and not whined on FB
    about not being able to play it in the first place, honestly, lol.

    They've got to be able to see in their system I dont even have an active Xbox Live acct and that I have never downloaded or played it, right? =(

    It's been a hard month =( When I realized what I did, first I laughed till I cried, cause p much every day lately been a FML day and it just seemed perfectly apt for how my life's been going for a minute now even outside all of the current global events,
    but then it just made me cry, cause this ain't the time to be wasting other people's money. It's not how I was raised and I'm feeling so damned guilty now =/ Please, Microsoft, any chance I could prevail upon you to give my mental health a tiny break and
    just tell me a way I can get him the code itself back. =(

    :)

    Unfortunately Microsoft doesnt have the ability to revoke codes for things like that. Once the code is redeemed there is no going back as far as i am aware.

    Someone else can correct me if i am wrong.

    Alan Wake American Nightmare no code.

    Mister Beep, I preordered the digital version of Quantum Break for Xbox One and had received a code for the Windows 10 version of the game through the Xbox Live system messages. My system messages were cleared out before I could use the code. is there a
    way to have the code resent to me since it was never redeemed?

    Pay difference to switch from Minecraft Xbox to Minecraft PC

    I just bought Minecraft as a gift through the Xbox store for my child and my child redeemed it on their account. Unfortunately I just realized that the version I bought was the Xbox version. My child has a Mac so they cannot even play it.



    I submitted a refund request but I am worried that because it's a redeemed gift purchase the refund will get denied. Do I have any options, i.e. paying the difference on my kid's account to switch to the PC/Java version, or getting the redeemed gift reversed so I can buy the correct option?
    Yes it will almost guaranteed get denied due to it being redeemed.

    There is no way to reverese it being redeemed and there is unfortunately no way to simply pay the difference to switch to a different version
