    Anyone who used this have an issue with the Xbox codes where they didn't work because they said you were in the wrong region?

    Where are you redeeming? On your Console or on your PC?

    I was entering it on xbox.com and even though I had the region selected as Ireland, I checked after I got the error and it said UK.
    I set the region to Ireland again, entered the code again, and it worked the 2nd time.

    Thought it was just an oddity as it never happened me before.

    It was €25 microsoft credit I bought btw.

    The Xbox.com website tends to change region alot for some reason.

    It loves to think that I'm in the UK!
    Even the smartglass app on my phones shows prices in pounds :D

    If you don't have "use console region" ticked in smartglass settings, it resorts to UK Sterling for some reason.
