How do I redeem my Xbox gift card?
Sign in to your Microsoft account at redeem.microsoft.com and enter the 25-digit code printed on the card or in your eGift email — the balance is added to your account immediately. You can also redeem on an Xbox console under Profile and System, Settings, Account, Redeem a Code, or inside the Xbox app on Windows by opening Microsoft Store and choosing Redeem a Code.Full redemption details for Xbox → How do I check the balance of my Xbox gift card?
Once the 25-digit code is redeemed, the value lives as store credit on your Microsoft account. You can check your balance on your Microsoft account page under Payment options, where any Microsoft account credit is displayed. On an Xbox console the same balance appears under Settings, Account, Payment and Billing. Unredeemed codes do not carry a lookup tool — the value activates only once the code is entered.Check your Xbox gift card balance → Where can I use an Xbox gift card?
Xbox gift card balance works across the Microsoft Store on Xbox consoles, Windows PCs, and Xbox.com. It covers digital full-game downloads, game add-ons and DLC, in-game currency, Xbox Game Pass and Game Pass Ultimate, apps, and movies and TV episodes rented or bought through Microsoft. It cannot be spent at physical Microsoft retail counters or for third-party subscriptions outside the Microsoft Store.
Do Xbox gift cards expire?
No. Xbox gift cards and the resulting Microsoft account credit do not expire, and Microsoft does not deduct service, dormancy, or maintenance fees from the balance. Once the 25-digit code is redeemed into your account, the funds remain available until you spend them on games, Game Pass, add-ons, or other Microsoft Store purchases.
Can I use an Xbox gift card to pay for Xbox Game Pass?
Yes. Xbox gift card credit covers Xbox Game Pass Core, PC Game Pass, and Game Pass Ultimate subscriptions, including prepaid multi-month plans purchased through the Microsoft Store. Once the gift card code is redeemed, the balance applies automatically when you buy or renew a Game Pass plan — no separate voucher is needed, and any remaining credit stays on the account.
Can I use an Xbox gift card for Fortnite V-Bucks or other in-game currency?
Yes. Xbox account credit from a redeemed gift card can be used to buy V-Bucks, Robux, COD Points, Apex Coins, and other in-game currency packs sold through the Microsoft Store on Xbox or Windows. The purchase goes through the store the same way a game download does, and the currency is delivered inside the title once the transaction clears.
Does the Xbox gift card region matter?
Yes. Xbox gift cards are region-locked to the Microsoft account's billing country. A US-issued Xbox gift card only redeems on a Microsoft account set to the United States. If your account region is elsewhere, the 25-digit code will return an error at redemption, so match the card to the account region before gifting or buying.
What denominations are available for Xbox gift cards?
Through Dyme, Xbox eGifts are issued at a fixed $5 denomination and delivered as a 25-digit digital code. Xbox gift cards sold elsewhere — through Microsoft directly, Amazon, Walmart, and Walgreens — are offered in $10, $15, $25, $50, and $100 tiers, with occasional $75 holiday variants. Multiple codes can be stacked onto a single Microsoft account.
How many Dyme Miles do I earn on an Xbox gift card?
You earn 1 Dyme Mile for every $1 loaded onto an Xbox gift card through Dyme. Miles post to your account within 3 business days of purchase and are redeemable on any airline, any hotel — no blackouts, no expiration. A $50 Xbox card earns 50 Miles; a $100 card earns 100. Each Mile you earn also helps avoid about 29 lbs of CO2 by funding new solar, not carbon offsets.
What payment methods does Dyme accept for Xbox gift cards?
Dyme accepts all major credit and debit cards — Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover — plus Apple Pay and Google Pay at checkout. Gift cards cannot be purchased with Dyme Miles; Miles are an earning currency for travel redemptions at travel.dyme.earth, not a payment method on the gift card store.
