Of what use is your Xbox gift card if it is not valid for you to enjoy your favourite blockbusters?
Sure, you would like to get enough of all that the gaming world has for you but what if the code gets stolen, expires (in cases of promotional cards), or you encounter regional restrictions when trying to use the card?
This blog post will help you learn about the different methods to check the validity of your Xbox gift card.
How Do I Know if my Xbox Gift Card is Valid?
When checking the validity of a physical card, “you need to” first check the body to identify if some of its key features, like a hologram or watermark, have been tampered with.
Also, look out for some red flags like a damaged pack or printing errors on the card. Every of its digital code is 25 characters long, includes both numbers and letters and is formatted in 5 blocks of 5 characters.
When checking a digital card, you can either use the Microsoft Redeem page or the Xbox console.
P.S. Usually if the code is still valid you can enter it on https://redeem., but without clicking the redeem option.
It should auto-refresh (at least it does in Edge for me) and tell you if the code is used or invalid without having to redeem it.
Always check the FAQ on the packaging or read the fine print when purchasing a gift card code or go to Microsoft gift card online to verify how long the card can be used.
