Gift cards do not currently work at physical Microsoft Stores.

You currently cannot buy Microsoft 365 with a gift card.

How to redeem a gift card or code online

The easiest way to redeem a gift card or code is online. Sign in to redeem.microsoft.com with your Microsoft account, enter the 25-character code, and then select Next.

Important: 

  • If you or your family have multiple Microsoft accounts, make sure you’re signed in to the one to which you want to apply the gift card or code. Money can’t be transferred from one Microsoft account to another and can’t be converted from one currency to another.
  • Try signing in to your Microsoft account using an InPrivate browser session to clear all other Microsoft account info from the cache.

If you want, you can also redeem a card or code from Microsoft Store on a Windows 10 device.

How to redeem a gift card or code from Microsoft Store on a Windows 10 device

Here’s how to redeem a gift card or code from Microsoft Store on a Windows 10 device:

  1. On your Windows 10 device, select Microsoft Store  on the taskbar.
  2. In Microsoft Store, select the See more  menu (located next to the Search  box on the upper right side of the page).
  3. Select Redeem a code. If you aren’t already signed in, sign in to the Microsoft account on which you want to redeem the code.
  4. Enter the 25-character code, and then select Redeem. Don’t worry about hyphens, the system takes care of those for you.

How can I tell if my card or code was redeemed?

To see if your card or code was redeemed, check your order history. On the Order history page, look for the date that you redeemed the card or code, and you’ll see the order number and how the card or code was used. If you see Redeemed code under Payment method, the card or code was successfully redeemed.

What happens after I redeem my gift card or code?

  • If the card or code has money on it, we’ll apply the entire balance to your Microsoft account. You can use it to buy things from Microsoft Store online, on Windows 10, and on Xbox One.
  • If the card or code is for a specific app or game, we’ll add it to your personal library, where you can download and install it. Go to My Library in Microsoft Store. When some apps or games are redeemed, they will take you to the product page where you can also download and install.

A passkey is an added layer of security that you can use as a quicker alternative to your Microsoft email and password
When you create a personal passkey, you get the following benefits:-
  • A passkey protects against a child account signing in as the parent and overriding parental controls. A personal passkey prevents a child from signing in as the parent and changing the child account’s settings.
  • A passkey helps to prevent unauthorised charges. You can require a passkey to make any purchase on the Microsoft Store.
  • A passkey allows the parent to grant content exceptions. The only way for a parent to override a content limitation is by entering his or her personal passkey.
  • Your passkey roams with you. The passkey that you set on your profile follows you to any Xbox console that you use.
  • A forgotten passkey defaults to your Microsoft account password. If you forget your passkey, the console defaults to requesting your Microsoft account password as a fail-safe
