What to do with money on a Child Account

This is exactly what happened to me! I transferred money from my Paypal to my child's Microsoft account for this, and now the money are locked there? Unbelievable! How do I get my money back?

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???

it's is easy all you have to do is setup your child with an child account and setup the permissions

As per the contract you signed it is on you to do so

If you had given him an adult account you take the consequences which is what I'm guessing

Your only option is to remove your credit card and start teaching your child value of money and be the parent

Consoles are not babysitters

What about people who do not want to have a credit card associated with their account, or those with child accounts?

The way this is supposed to be set up is that you have a child account and an adult account. The child account is a separate account but it cannot act independently of the adult account. From the adult account you can set purchasing permissions and even
set a monthly allowance that will not be exceeded. You can also set restrictions on what you child views or sees and how they can pick friends.

The problem is that most of the time when these accounts are set up, parents do not create a child account, they just set up an adult account for the child, and we cannot set permissions on an adult account.

The only thing you can do with an adult account is remove any payment methods and add gift cards to the account as needed. That way when the money is gone its gone.
