Windows 10: How can I redeem my points if the country code that my phone number is registered at, is...

How can I redeem my points if the country code that my phone number is registered at, is not supported by your system? I'm at the Philippines, and hoping to get my long awaited points to get redeemed only to find out that my country's phone number isn't supported? So, when I was trying to redeem this point, Microsoft wants to either send me the verification number or call me and dictate the verification number using my registered phone number at my account. I tried to choose the "send the verification number at my SMS" but I didn't receive any single one, so I didn't really care because it doe

Help redeeming points

Hi Shipti, I'm Erfan and I'll be happy to help!

There can be several reasons why you're having issue with redeeming your Microsoft reward points.

You might have entered the wrong code: Ensure that the code sent to your phone number matches the code you are entering. If you have had too many unsuccessful attempts at completing phone verification, you must wait 48 hours before attempting again.

The phone number provided may have already been used on multiple Microsoft Rewards accounts: There is a limitation on the number of accounts (maximum of 6 accounts per household) that can be associated with one phone number. Please provide a different phone number to be able to redeem your Microsoft Rewards points.

You may have attempted to redeem Microsoft Rewards Points with a VoIP phone number: You'll need a mobile phone or land line number to redeem Microsoft Rewards points. Voice over IP (VoIP) numbers are not permitted. This requirement is outlined in the Microsoft Services Agreement. In order to redeem your points, you will need to provide a working non-VoIP phone number.

If you received an error message stating you are currently traveling: Microsoft Rewards points must be redeemed in the same region as your Microsoft account and cannot be redeemed while traveling in another market/region. Please wait until you return to your home country/region to continue to use Microsoft Rewards.

I hope this helps

Please do let me know if you needed any further assistance.

 

Purchasing a APP with Redeemable Points ?

Hello Robert,

Having an option to purchase an app with redeemable points is beneficial, especially, if you've already accumulated a lot of points. To provide you the appropriate steps to redeem the points that you've earned, I'd like to verify the following:

• Are you trying to redeem points that you've earned by using Microsoft Store? If not, which app are you using to earn the points that you want to use?
• Are you getting any error messages or error codes?
• Which application are you trying to purchase?

We look forward to your response.

 

My Phone Update Phone Number - Country Not Listed

I am trying to update my My Phone account settings, but having clicked on the "update" link next to the picture of my phone I am unable to input my mobile phone number as my country (and therefore the country code) is not listed. Can this list be updated,
or is there a way to enter a number that is not listed under the country options? My country code (for the Falkland Islands) is: 00 500
