Don't think you need VPN to redeem, I could also send it directly to your account if I have you added.

Sorry kind of confusing.

So provide that my account (sub account @ Argentina region) in your friend list (which is also Argentina i presume).
You can directly send as gift to me from the friend list.

When i receive the msg of the gift, there should be "REDEEM CODE" to click OR a 25 coding to redeem in xbox.com.

I just need to press "REDEEM CODE" and the game will be under my library, right ?

Yes if you send it as gift to someone in friend list. They can instantly see the notification, press redeem from there and it will be in your library right away.

If you choose to gift via email, it will send the code via email. There would also be a Microsoft link there, takes like 2 clicks to redeem it to your account.

eh, i also want join the fun

Come come, pm me your email and what games

Curious to see if it still works, 4 purchases went through today on the alt so far

ur account is like hidden gem hahaha

I think I found a price mistake there for Metro Saga Bundle
either they are too generous or they forgot to update the price

the trilogy incluing Metro 1, 2, 3 gold edition is selling at 580Peso, that's less than RM26 only!

if you're buying Metro 3 Gold edition alone is already more than that

too bad I've already purchased them long time ago

ok, weird things happening

Nojo help to buy few games and gifted to me, I've no issue claiming them directly from email without using a VPN
but last night when I tried my alt account, found out the BP card is working again, so gifted few games to my main
strange thing is I can't redeem them directly, says region restricted, and I had to use US VPN to redeem them
weird thing is previously I don't need VPN to redeem them, it's the same accounts, same settings, same card

Maybe bcos my main was initially created for US and my alt was created for Argentina?
nojo ben3003 what's your accounts region?

My main was US initially but I had no problem gifting from ARS alt. Never once had I need to use VPN, I could also manually claim the code on the Microsoft website.

I have also successfully buy/redeem stuff I bought in Saudi and Brazilian store.

Perhaps you could make sure both your account county is set to ARS in the links below.

https://account.microsoft.com/profile

i m not sure about now but what i found out at xbox one era. when u gift games to some one. the redeem side must be the region of the gift game side. example if u gift games from usa region store then, the one who receive the game have to use vpn for usa region… same as other country…

Yea, it's like RNG random thing happen.

Ben3003 can redeem game no issue gift from Nojo
But in my case i faced region restriction, lolz .. and need VPN

just found out there's a gifting limit

wasted few of my gift quota on my alt account by gifting those smaller games that's not on my priority list, end up when I want to buy the one I really wanted, got the error liao...

It's really RNG, lolz
Nojo gifted to me, no need VPN
2 days ago gifted myself 3 games, all need VPN
just now gifted another 7 games, all no need VPN, can just redeem from the email straight

same card, same console, same accounts

Faster Microsoft let malaysia join the game XD

ayam cheapskate, no way MY store gonna be cheaper than AR store
but of cos will buy some from time to time to support local store, but most will be still from AR store

haha, at least has formal option for us to purchase XD
Instead of trying luck here and there

Seriously this. If Steam can do a Malaysian Marketplace with localised prices, don't see why a trillion dollar company can't. Our prices on steam are actually quite decent.

my main is initially created for US, alt is argentina. gift i received from Nojo can claim directly no need VPN lol. previously i bought from alt and even i use alt to claim also need VPN.

My bigpay card not working but maybe should try again few days later see if any cheap game to buy lol.

I tried to buy COD:MW on my main account, doesn't work despite having the same account setting, address and BigPay card.

Had to switch to alt, send directly to friend list and was able to redeem on Xbox without any issue.
