Hello guys,

So I've been using game pass for like 2 months now. Seeing the Black Friday discounts, i thought I'd get the 6 month subscriptions with 50% off. The problem is that the Xbox/Microsoft Store doesn't accept even the Microsoft Wallet amount i have. I purchased a game from the same wallet amount, but I'm unable to purchase/extend my game pass subscription using it (says i should contact microsoft technical support). I plan on stacking my subscription to at least a year. Lemme know if any you have a work around.

Hmmm.... It is the same problem. I think the issue is that since it has recurrent payments it needs a backup payment method, which needs to be US based. Will try to find a solution and share if anything works.

In the meantime, there was a good deal on cdkeys and i got 3 months for $21. Not as good as the deal Microsoft are offering, but still better than paging full price.

Even though the sale is over. I didnt have any issues buying the 6 month gamepass.. and i used the Xbox cash that i have... maybe its an address issue.. im using my brothers US address as my billing address and have had no issues.

I faced a similar issue pretty recently, was unable to purchase the 1 buck deal for the gamepass, having more than enough store credit. Contacted the microsoft chat support and they actually made the purchase on my account in just 5 minutes.

    You reap what you sow. This is what happens when you take away choice from consumers. Even with 88% split going to developers, they can't recoup costs. Meanwhile, Helldivers 2 is a massive hit for Sony thanks in big part to Steam.
