I bought an Argentina code and have read the way to redeem it....
install tunnel bear chrome ext but have also tried surfshark
I choose Argentina as location and load up xbox.com which does come to the Argentina site, when I then go to xbox.redeem it takes me to the UK site where the code isnt valid?
can someone explain to me like I'm 5 what I'm doing wrong.
cheer guys

sorted byIf it's a gift code go to buy a game on the Argentinian MS store, then choose payment method and then redeem a gift card. Doesn't need a vpn. You don't have to purchase the game but it let's you redeem the gift card.
Yea that region page is just for language. I didn't change my region or have an Argentinian address in my account. Just all about using a good vpn. Don't know how tunnel bear don't work as when I used whatsmyip it said I had a Buenos Aires up but still didn't work.
Used nord and bang worked like a charm!
When I open the new tab (redeem page)it says English us in the bottom corner is that alright? I think that's language but even in the address bar it says GB
I'll try now
I'm so stuck I can't get it to work at all with VPN
You need to have a VPN connected to Argentina and then open a chrome incognito tab then Google redeem Microsoft click on the first link then login to your Microsoft account and then redeem the code
It's so funny I was trying that before then 8 decided to try it over 4g rather than home WiFi, out VPN on went to redeem.microsoft entered to code and it worked 1st time
If your using WiFi and tunnel bear try using mobile network and tunnel bear, that's how mine was sorted and I don't know if that's why but
Strange, like I say it just one day out the blue worked and I was as confused as a moth nutting a bulb
Can you vouch for any free VPN’s?
Did u sort it? I'm having the EXACT same problem as you. Has always worked in the past, but now it just keeps telling me its the wrong location even though i check my ip with whatsmyip and it shows me buenos aires
Like I said, if it's not working for you, your VPN is probably crap.
There's no need to change your account region or do anything of the sort, just connect your VPN to the required location and redeem the code.
how did you get a nord vpn trial keeps trying to charge me like £80 for the year?
Respect pal.
I've always used TunnelBear, being free, it's been great till recent where most regions don't work now.
Saw your comment, downloaded VPN Unlimited to redeem an Argentina Game Code and worked perfectly....
Got 7 days free trial but can see me paying the £8.99 a month. Bargain
Cheers pal
I just made this account to thank you! I've been struggling for hours trying all different stuff but didnt realize it was TunnelBears fault. Thanks alot my man!
it still works
tried using VPN Unlimited & Nord VPN and getting:
Sorry, an unexpected error has occurred. The error has been recorded and we will investigate. Please try to redeem your code later.
Only doing it for a mate, wish i hadn't bothered
