What do I do about the black void bar through a Xbox gift card?

Hello, first it's a pleasure to be able to help you today.

My name is Welcome to the community.

Hello Kevin, Microsoft codes have 25 digits, the code you bought is for the Microsoft system, which store did you purchase your card from?

Below I leave the links on code redemptions at Microsoft.

You could always do gift cards like i do and just purchase what you are after. I use my microsoft rewards to get most of my DLC or and occasional movie through gift cards

Hi jesus, my name is Joel, I'm here to help you with any problems or questions you may have.

Jesus, unfortunately Microsoft's Policies prevent the purchase of subscriptions through the use of gift cards, it is mandatory to have a valid payment method added to your account such as a credit card, debit card or a PayPal account.

If you do not have any of the above methods, you will only be able to purchase a subscription using the prepaid cards specific to the subscription you want, which you can find in the main stores and warehouses in your country.

Please note that this is only a public forum, I will respond to you in a short period of time as far as possible apologizing in advance for any delay in replying. I am simply a user trying to provide information and knowledge that may be useful to others, I am not an employee of Microsoft.

What do you mean gift card? Do you mean Xbox currency card? You can't use gift cards.

What should I do on my next purchase of an gift card should I look at bar code or the expired or start paying you in different like using my bank card or using debit card from my bank account or buy retail games instead.
