Hello NE5QUlK,

Welcome to Xbox Community Forum. Thank you for sharing your concern with us today and we hope that all is well.

Based on your description, when you try to checkout you see your account not related to your Xbox showing as recipient of the email receipt. There is a chance that this may be other Microsoft account or a Microsoft email. Let us check on this together and sort this out in timely manner.

We understand that you wanted to use your current email address as recipient. Just curious, do you mind checking your shipping and billing address if the email address added there is the account you are referring to?

Is that to say that the games I purchased on accounts I closed are gone when I get the Series X? There has to be some universal receipt proving all of the games I've purchased should there not?

The store you purchase the gift cards at has to activate the card at checkout when you make the purchase. It sounds like there was an issue with activation at checkout at the store. Take the card and your receipt to the store and ask to speak to manager
and explain to them the card wasnt' activated.

@ngocphi I wish that were the case, but as the test-scan the manager did of the exact same kind of card proved, that's not true. The code comes out on the receipt you get upon checkout. It's supposed to, at least. Mine did not.
