Buy Xbox Gift Card for Japan (JPY)

Xbox gift card codes add Microsoft Store credit to an account, and the Japan listing is the Japan version of that: 5 values in JPY, 2000 JPY through 10000 JPY. 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 Japan that means one code can cover several purchases instead of being tied to one title.

Values on This Page

Japan carries 5 face values in JPY, from 2000 JPY to 10000 JPY: 2000 JPY, 2500 JPY, 3000 JPY, 5000 JPY and 10000 JPY. All 5 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.

Every step is denominated in JPY and added to the account at the value printed on it, so the figures above are the card's own design. Availability moves per step, which is why the table on the listing is worth reading before picking a figure.

Which Account This Code Reloads

Microsoft's gift card terms tie the balance to the account's country or region: denominations in a currency may only be added to a Microsoft account registered in a jurisdiction that recognises that currency as official, and the balance can only be spent at participating stores available there. This is the Japan card in JPY, so the account it reloads should be the one registered for Japan.

An account registered elsewhere needs the matching market instead, which is why the Mexico listing and the Norway 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?

Does the balance run out? Microsoft states that non-promotional balance does not expire and that holding it costs nothing; only promotional credit carries an expiry tied to its promotion, and that is deducted first. A Japan buyer therefore gains shelf life, not a deadline, which is the main difference from the PIN-style products elsewhere in this store.

Delivery

The code arrives electronically - on the order page and in the inbox - once payment is confirmed, typically within minutes. There is no courier and no address field, and nothing is handed over by hand, so the code can sit until the account it belongs to is ready for the balance.

Before You Buy

The account's country or region is the first thing worth confirming: this is the Japan card in JPY, 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.
