Why cant i pay my Game Pass Subscription with my Microsoft balance

Overdue balances can only be paid with a credit card or Paypal.

Because it requires an payment option on file

[,,,] But i want to using microsoft balance to pay the next subscription bill for my pc game pass

Hi,

subs and hardware can't be payed with credits from your account. That's why it doesn't appear as payment method.

Hi Brick. My name is Kyle and I'm an independent advisor.

You can pay for Game Pass with your account balance but you also need a valid payment method registered to your account as it's a subscription with a recurring fee. Despite this your Microsoft account balance should be used first when paying for Game Pass.

Please reach back if you have further questions.

On the subscription page in settings it is saying i can pay with microsoft account balance why is that.
