xbox gift card $50.00- "code not found"

Hi,

If you're getting this error message in attempt to redeem your Xbox Gift card, this most likely means that the code was not properly activated at the time of purchase from the retailer that you purchased the card from. This could've happened due to many
reasons.

I would suggest you contact Xbox Support to have them check and verify if the code is activated or not. If not, I would suggest you contact the retailer and or follow the steps from the Xbox Support representative. You may chat when
them anytime here: contact-us

i don't have a credit card. i take it i can't preorder via my xbox one then? was going to buy 2 $50.00 xbox gift cards. sorry, don't know how all of this works.

Have them buy you a few of those 50.00 Microsoft gift cards. I bought one earlier this week to buy RYSE (10 bucks extra was paid by Credit Card btw. Imagine Microsoft will bring out cards to buy just the game that is printed on the card (kinda like Nintendo
does well, but with a QR code instead).

Why don't you wait to buy an xbox one then? Hell next year around xmas or even black friday they may have a deal. Like how best buy gives you a 50.00 gift card or something. Halo 5 is pretty far away.

Hello Fellow Gamer

Thank you for taking the time to post this on the Xbox Forums. We understand that you are currently inquiring about gift cards.

As far as Microsoft, and Xbox Gift Cards, the cards work just the same. Once redeemed to your Microsoft account, you can spend your balance at Microsoft Store online, on Windows, and on Xbox.

This can be found at the bottom of the page for the
Xbox Gift Card - Digital Code.

I hope this was able to clarify any confusion this might have caused.
