Buy Xbox Gift Card for South Africa (ZAR)

Xbox gift card codes add Microsoft Store credit to an account, and the South Africa listing is the South Africa version of that: 12 values in ZAR, 50 ZAR through 600 ZAR. 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 South Africa that means one code can cover several purchases instead of being tied to one title.

Values on This Page

South Africa carries 12 face values in ZAR, from 50 ZAR to 600 ZAR: 50 ZAR, 100 ZAR, 120 ZAR, 150 ZAR, 200 ZAR, 250 ZAR, 300 ZAR, 350 ZAR, 450 ZAR, 500 ZAR, 550 ZAR and 600 ZAR. All 12 are in stock today, so the table on the listing can be ordered as shown. This is the longest ladder in the family, so the market is served in full.

Each figure is the card's own face value in ZAR, 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

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 South Africa card in ZAR, so the account it reloads should be the one registered for South Africa.

An account registered elsewhere needs the matching market instead, which is why the UAE listing and the Australia 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 South Africa account the practical reading is that the credit from this card waits until it is needed.

Delivery

Nothing is posted. The code is generated and shown the moment payment clears, usually within minutes, on the order page and in the inbox, and because no manual step is involved it can be redeemed whenever the buyer is ready. Keeping it in the order history also means it can be re-read exactly as issued.

Before You Buy

The account's country or region is the first thing worth confirming: this is the South Africa card in ZAR, 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.
