QUOTE(SirReal @ Apr 10 2021, 06:29 PM) Bro are you able to buy? I've been trying all day, no success. I found a trick if you keep having trouble purchasing and getting don't know what happened error no matter how many times you try, gift the game to your email. I tried it and the payment goes through right away. If you don't get the gift email in your inbox like me for some reason, go to the xbox site and get the game code from.the order history. |

QUOTE(toytoy @ Apr 18 2021, 09:10 PM) Great tips, didn't know you can gift to yourself. But won't it freeze your own account anyway? I hope not, if they are going to restrict this they could have make it send able to friends account only and not email or better yet region lock the codes. Well technically you aren't gifting to yourself, you are just sending it to your friends email. Your friend decide not to play, you have no choice but to redeem it yourself  You could have use a different email from your Xbox account and it would work just fine. The gift email was so delayed, I finally gotten it after 7 hours. toytoy liked this post

QUOTE(TongCN @ Jul 30 2021, 08:39 AM) Lol ... meaning BigPay kenak "ban" ? haha Just tried purchasing. I purposely don't reload so it won't go through, still thinking if I wanna buy.Can confirm BigPay still works, just that the purchasing process is finicky as always. Purchasing on my main account directly failed unlike last week where I could purchase right away, I had to switch to my alt and gift it to my main account just now.  |

QUOTE(ben3003 @ Jul 30 2021, 08:47 AM) i tried using my alt because my main is got USD preloaded, still cant. ur alt u created it from the beginning is argentina address? I don't think it matters as long as you remove all existing address that you had on it. Add new Argentinian address along with the card details by going into settings -> account -> payment & billing on your console, important to not add them via the Microsoft website. |

QUOTE(TongCN @ Jul 30 2021, 09:10 AM) So what you suggest is to "add new payment" directly in console, right ? Yeah, just do everything on console. If you had addresses added on the website, just go there and delete every card along with the addresses then start fresh on Xbox. |

QUOTE(TongCN @ Jul 30 2021, 11:05 AM) By receiving gift, do i need VPN to redeem ? Don't think you need VPN to redeem, I could also send it directly to your account if I have you added. |

QUOTE(TongCN @ Jul 30 2021, 12:03 PM) Sorry kind of confusing. 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.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 ? 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. This post has been edited by Nojo: Jul 30 2021, 12:12 PM |

QUOTE(greyshadow @ Jul 31 2021, 11:07 AM) ok, weird things happening 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. 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? 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/billing/addresses https://account.microsoft.com/profile |

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. |

QUOTE(Syncing @ Sep 9 2021, 06:52 PM) Ah I see, interesting that you got GPU to work in AR. I guess the best bet is VPN + AR region account. Will try that! Personally I never have to use VPN to successfully buy on AR or TR store with BigPay, all I have to do setup the address and payment method on the console.However there might be redemption issue with gifting if you are unlucky, in that case just use Hola Free VPN on your browser for the redeem process. |

QUOTE(greyshadow @ Jun 27 2022, 03:20 PM) doubt you can sub from those regions with our local cards, unless you have cards from those regions My Bigpay card still works for both Turkey and Argentina, manage to checkout back in March then it just kept renewing without issueIMO best way is still buying the XBL Gold keys from reputable sites like CDkeys, then convert using the GPU tricks  toytoy liked this post
