Unable to approve child's use of microsoft account money

He would need enough to cover tax as well.

Hi Johnny_J

Thanks for coming to the forums for help. Sorry to hear that you're having issues with crediting a child account. You may have the approval setting turned on which may be preventing you from making the transaction. Here's a link that may help Add
Money To Your Childs Account

I hope this helps

Hello Malissa,

Sorry for the issue with adding money to the account. Have you tried just purchasing the currency on the child account? Usually when this happens the parent account will get a text/email to approve it. You may want to try a Xbox gift card also, you can purchase
them anywhere gift cards are sold. These are certain amount of money, and then the child can redeem the code on their account.

This link will help with the approval of child making a purchase.

I am having the same issue Brad. Maybe a Microsoft issue?

Hello, is the money showing at all on the account???? Does the child have a child account where you have to approve purchases?? When you try to buy the vbucks what happens???

Hi, Hudson!

Thank you for the update.

Go to the Microsoft Family Safety website:https://account.microsoft.com/family and sign in with your organizer account.

And then manage the child account.

Locate the child's profile under your family group.

Click on their name to access their account settings.

Next is to adjust purchase settings by navigating to the Spending section.

Kindly enable needs organizer approval to buy things if you want to approve or decline their purchases manually. If you'd like them to complete purchases without approval, toggle this off.

Next is to add funds to their account. You can deposit money into the child’s Microsoft account to allow controlled purchases. Go to Spending > Add Money and choose an amount.

And you can review their purchase history in the Spending section to keep track of what they buy.

Thank you for your cooperation.
