Unable to pay for game pass as gift

Hi PhilippaGraff-Baker,

So it seems the payment cannot process when trying to gift the game pass subscription to your son. Have you already tried removing your payment details and re-adding them to the account you are trying to make the purchase on? Have you made any purchases
on this account before with the same payment method?

On the payment website for Game Pass make sure you are selecting "Buy as Gift" in small green text and follow the instructions on screen to add the email of the recipient's account which is where they will get the code to redeem.

Here is a gifting guide that may explain why there is an error:

For billing issues, you would need to contact support and speak to billing. http://support.xbox.com/contact-us

Alternatively, you could also purchase a digital code through somewhere like Amazon.

If you want to buy the $1 deal you would need an Xbox gift card. A Game Pass gift card would just add game pass to your account and you would just be paying the amount you have to pay for the gift card itself.

Sí, puede pagar con tarjeta de regalo para xbox live gold y xbox game pass si no puede pagar a través del soporte de contacto de tarjeta de regalo

[Translation - Yes, you can pay with a gift card for xbox live gold and xbox game pass if you can not pay through the gift card contact support]

If you gift it to someone then you pay for it to begin with. If you received as a gift you would not be required to pay anything until the gifted subscription expires... Example If you got the person a 3 month subscription at the end of those 3 months
either they will have to pay to continue ultimate pass themselves or you could always gift it to them again if you wanted to.
