I tried the Revolut method, but it fails. On checking with MS support, its because the region of the card does not match the region of the store.
US Store.
Anyone else experienced this?

Does anyone you know if Xbox game pass 20% discount works on top of this, even if on a trial?

Great spot, I was considering it at UK store price, but this is a no brainer :smile:
It will be my first time buying from another region, so we will see how it goes.

Out of interest, I've got Israeli shekels still registered to my account by ding this for NHL 18 last week. Will it look dodgy if I suddenly have USD on there too, especially if I'm registered in the UK?

I've already purchased all over the place (Brazil, Russia, Singapore, etc.). I was even already in a chat with XBox support that commented on this, but ultimately wasn't bothered.

Ah, gotcha. Might do it then, why not. How do you get rid of the 30c / last few rubles when you're right at the brink? Or do they just sit on your account?

They'll just sit there until you top it up again to buy something else.

Well I bought a few things! But forgot to put a tax-free US state in, so I miscalculated. But never mind, eh? I got Lego Worlds, Force Awakens and Mad Max for $23.50!

Sounds like we've just had the exact same experience :laughing: serves me right for choosing to 'make believe' live in texas rather than Alaska! Bummer, missed a trick there. For anybody else who runs into this issue, selecting to pay the remainder (tax) using paypal wont work and the transaction fails. You simply have to top up enough $ xbox credit and youre good to go. Thanks OP, this is a great trick to save money once you know how :thumbsup:

Seagm and G2A got some $5 cards in stock. Buy them and redeem on the app. If it asks for a address, like it did for me, use randomlists.com/ran…ses

When I purchase games with gift cards, do I have to provide a billing address?
Thanks

Could you maybe elaborate? You mean Android, Windows?

Open the XBOX app. Change the location and then close the app. Reopen, then redeem your US code in the app. Purchase the game, change the location back to UK, then close the app. all done.
