  • Redeemed Microsoft account funds are not transferable

The account balance is missing

Verify that you are signed in to the same Microsoft account used to redeem the code and refresh the Payment & billing page.

The country or region does not match

Canadian gift-card codes must generally be redeemed to a compatible Canadian Microsoft account and store region.
