I already set the billing address for my MS account to NZ, and changed my Xbox region to NZ.

So for example if I get someone to buy a $25 gift card in NZ and I redeem the code with my PC, it should work?

Or does the code have to be redeemed from a PC in NZ as well?

Or should I just move everything to US instead?

I think you'll need to redeem it either using NZ VPN or from a PC/xbox in NZ

changing your xbox region is just changing the store to NZ store

the code won't work with my OG account as well, as it was a US account when I first created it

I already listed out the steps in my previous post, you'll need Turkiye VPN, and create a new xbox account based in Turkiye

M$ has enable region block for payments in those stores, so your payment method need to be the native payments from those location, ie no foreign CC will be accepted
So VPN is useless in this situation

for the stores still accepting paypal like the US store, then there shouldn't be any issues buying the games using it

and for the stores still accepting gift cards, new account + VPN + gift cards reload is the way to go

So I just tried something today...

My Xbox region is set to New Zealand (because I have family there, so I am using their address). I don't know if this would work with other regions, but it did not work for me when my Xbox region was set to Singapore.

I couldn't add my credit or my PayPal account as payment methods in my Xbox, as they are identified as being in the wrong region.

So I tried the steps below and somehow it worked!

1) Used my PC to login to https://account.microsoft.com to add PayPal as a payment option
2) Go to the Xbox Store in my Series X and searched for a game (in this case Mafia Trilogy)
3) Checkout with PayPal as payment method and success!

Again, I am not sure if this is something that has been done before, but this is something new to me and I thought it was worth sharing. smile.gif
