How to redeem code in a different region? (really pissed off at Microsoft)
Hey I know you're pissed of at Microsoft but at least its not Sony, where you can't change your account region at all. They piss me off so much with that bullshit.
More on reddit.comIt seems that microsoft updated the redeeming a code system. VPNS no longer work. Below is the message that you get when trying to redeem a code from another region.
I've got a gift card - can I redeem it on Xbox 360 and use any remainder on a later xbox store?
Tried to redeem a code on Microsoft store, will not let me click "confirm"
What products can I redeem with a Microsoft Store or Xbox gift card?
Does the Microsoft or Xbox gift card expire?
Can I buy Xbox Live Gold and Xbox Game Pass with a gift card?

So I bought Xbox One in Qatar with Gears of war redeem code. In my Xbox, location is set to USA (Qatar is not available) and language is set to English (US). I am trying to redeem code but it says:
You can’t acquire this item in your currently selected language. Change your language region in Settings, or go to microsoft.com//redeem
What the hell is this? Then I changed location to "UAE" and language location to "UAE (English)" but same issue.
How am I supposed to know what setting to use?
Does the same happened with PS4? I am a big Microsoft advocate (still using 2 years old Microsoft Lumia upgraded to Windows 10) BUT now I am really thinking of not not buying anything from them.
How do I resolve this issue?

language region is not important
what important is "location "
if this didn't work
you can change the "account region" to USA
from here
and try again
maybe you can try from xbox.com and use a VPN
