Xbox Live Gold codes in other countries

ViolentTheses · Jan 5, 2014

My sister is currently living in Singapore and is considering Live Gold for her 360. Can she buy a code for a 12 month subscription (or 3 month) from the US and have it work with her Xbox. It's a US Xbox she brought with her. I don't thin I they've
got very connected it to the Internet. They also apparently have some sort of VPN router or som thing that can make their Internet connection look like a US one (to get US Netflix and Comcast Xfinity).

Unfortunately issues will arise not only when using subscriptions from other countries, but accounts from other countries, too. In order to play on LIVE without issue in the US, you would need a US Gamertag and gold subscription.

No. Live codes are region locked so she would have to buy it in Singapore.

I thought live codes were not region locked on account credit and MSP were

Prepaid Gold membership codes should be multiregional but prepaid cash and points are region locked. If she has a US credit card attached to her account it shouldn't be a problem buying membership and adding money to her account if it is an American account.
Interesting how she can spoof her internet connection to think it is an American connection as it shouldn't be possible to access region locked apps.

Hello Master Liu Kang!

Sorry to hear you are having issues with the regions of the store for digital codes.

Making sure your Xbox digital subscription is valid for your country

Important changes for Xbox Live customers who purchase digital codes from the Microsoft Store or other third-party resellers:

To ensure that pricing for the Xbox Live Gold subscription service reflects the local market economies, all Xbox Live Gold subscription cards will now only be redeemable in the country purchased and cannot be redeemed in any other country.
If you’re purchasing an Xbox Live Gold subscription card online, we strongly recommend that you purchase the card from the country that you live in to avoid potential issues. This includes purchases from third-party online resellers who advertise lower-priced
codes than retail value.

Below is the link to everything about making sure you only buy codes or subscriptions in your region.
