First, check your account country
Xbox gift cards and Game Pass memberships work on a Microsoft account from the same country as the card. The card's country is in the product name.
Sign in to the Microsoft account you want to top up. Once a code is redeemed, it can't be moved to another account.
How to redeem your code
- After you complete your order, you'll find your code on the order page and in your email.
- Go to xbox.com/redeem and sign in with the Microsoft account you want to top up.
- Enter the 25-character code and select Next.
- Follow the prompts. The balance is added to your account, or your Game Pass membership starts.
You can also redeem in the Xbox app: select your profile picture, then the gear icon, then Redeem code.
Code not working?
- Account country doesn't match the card: the code is for a Microsoft account from the card's country, so use it on one.
- Asked for a payment method: you may need to add payment info before redeeming. You won't be charged extra when the code is redeemed.
- Code not accepted: make sure you entered all 25 characters correctly.
