Buy Xbox Gift Card for Germany (EUR)

Ferdousur RahmanOct 1, 20264 min read38 views

Germany Xbox gift card in EUR: 6 values, 10 EUR to 100 EUR, delivered as a code and redeemed to a matching Microsoft Store account.

Xbox gift card codes add Microsoft Store credit to an account, and the Germany listing is the Germany version of that: 6 values in EUR, 10 EUR through 100 EUR. Microsoft adds the full value when the code is redeemed, and the balance is what pays for the store's games and downloads.

What the Microsoft Balance Buys

The balance is Microsoft Store credit, so what it buys is decided at the store rather than at checkout: apps, games, movies, TV shows, add-ons and in-game currency, with Surface, Xbox and accessories available in most countries or regions. In Germany that means one code can cover several purchases instead of being tied to one title.

Values on This Page

Germany carries 6 face values in EUR, from 10 EUR to 100 EUR: 10 EUR, 15 EUR, 20 EUR, 75 EUR, 80 EUR and 100 EUR. All 6 are in stock today, so the table on the listing can be ordered as shown. The family runs from a single value up to 12, so this sits in the middle of that range.

Each figure is the card's own face value in EUR, which is how the listing's table is laid out; what the order costs sits there rather than in this paragraph. Taking the larger step once is usually simpler than stacking several small codes, and the smallest step is there for a single purchase.

Which Account This Code Reloads

The rule that decides whether this code lands is the account's region, not the console. Microsoft's terms state that a card's currency can only be added to an account registered in a jurisdiction where that currency is official, that the balance is spent at participating stores in that jurisdiction, and that the balance cannot be converted into another currency. This listing is the Germany card in EUR.

An account registered elsewhere needs the matching market instead, which is why the Denmark listing and the Spain listing are separate pages. Checking the account's region before buying is the whole of it.

How to Redeem an Xbox Gift Card

Redemption runs on Microsoft's own pages, not through this store, and the steps are the same in every market:

  1. Sign in at redeem.microsoft.com with the Microsoft account that should hold the balance.
  2. Choose Redeem code and enter or paste the 25-character code from the order page.
  3. Confirm, and Microsoft adds the full value to the account balance immediately.

On a console the same code is redeemed from the guide: press the Xbox button, open Store, choose Redeem and type the code. Microsoft's redeem page also notes that if the wrong code was bought, the retailer is the one to contact - support here is the same route.

Does the Balance Expire?

Microsoft's gift card terms are unusually clear on this point: non-promotional account balance does not expire, and there are no fees for keeping a balance. Promotional credit is the exception - it follows the terms of its own promotion, and it is spent before any other balance. For a Germany account the practical reading is that the credit from this card waits until it is needed.

Delivery

Delivery is digital and automatic: the code is issued as soon as the payment is confirmed, normally within minutes, and it appears on the order page and in the inbox. Nothing ships, so there is no address to give, and no person releases the code by hand - which is why it can be stored and redeemed later rather than used on the spot.

Before You Buy

The account's country or region is the first thing worth confirming: this is the Germany card in EUR, and Microsoft states that a currency can only be added to an account registered where it is official. After that, paste the 25-character code straight from the order page, and treat the balance as store credit rather than cash.

Buy an Xbox Gift Card for Germany

If the account's region is Germany, order from this page: 6 values in EUR, issued automatically after payment and redeemed at redeem.microsoft.com. Start with the Germany Xbox gift card, and use the Spain listing when the account sits elsewhere.
