And still not able to benefit! I've got the virtual MasterCard sorted but getting 'payment can't be processed' despite it taking 72c from my Revolut each time I try. Have tried a few virtual cards and addresses.

I'm not using a virtual card. My revolut MasterCard worked fine. No VPN. Did it in incognito mode but not sure if it's even needed.

I didn't even have to bother looking up the address of some hotel in Buenos Aires when adding the card as (perhaps worryingly) there was already one saved in Chrome from the last time I was able to do it.

Division 2 Gold for the princely sum of €35, don't mind if i do.

Sweetie & Misky, you'll be remembered in my will.

This seems to be account specific to see if it works or not. My account wouldn't work but I used my dads Live profile and worked no problem

Guys for the revolut mastercard, do you need to add funds in Argentinian RS? (Ars )

Going to go shopping

It will debit any funds you have. Took my GBP balance first then Euro

It's exactly the same for me, not being able to use it will probably save me money because I would end up buying loads of games I'll probably never play just because they are so cheap.

I like the use of the word 'Probably'

DaveNoCheese · 03-03-2019 12:51pm

AC: Odyssey for €11, yes please. Also got Div 2 Gold.

My sharing buddy got Far Cry 5 and Dirt Rally as well so that's four games I'll never get around to playing

I can’t get it to work. Have the Virtual Mastercard on Revolut. Used my Parcel Motel address. I used an address for Argentina on live.com and when I click the link on Xbox store checker to buy a game, I add the card and proceed to purchase and I get the message to contact support and I’ve got charged 72 cent each of the three times I’ve tried. There is funds on the card so I’ve no idea what I’m doing wrong. I tried without a vpn and also with Nord VPN.

Same here. I even created a new profile and nada. This happened before with turkey and after a few days it worked. Hopefully they haven't blocked it by then.

Maybe the newly created Mastercard takes time to validate.

Nah, I used mine instantly after creating it yesterday.

Max Mafioso · 03-03-2019 5:33pm

Ok so I went into my profile and changed it to my PARCELMOTEL address then created a new card, a 2nd one to the current one I have, it did say Visa but when I clicked to confirm it, it was a Mastercard.
Works like a charm

m4r10 · 04-03-2019 1:40am

Tried it twice, got charged 72 cents as well. I followed the instructions to the letter, but to no avail

FAILSAFE 00 · 04-03-2019 3:13am

Worked for me.

3 games purchased after creating a new virtual mastercard.

m4r10 · 04-03-2019 7:18am

Are you using an Argentinean address when asked? Also, are you charged extra for the transaction?
I might let a few days pass since I just created the virtual mastercard, but not sure that's where the problem lies.

Argentinian address as the billing address when registering the card with Microsoft Argentina site.

I thought that might be my issue as well. I only opened a revolut account yesterday. I also transferred funds yesterday as well, so maybe this is an EFT thing and the cash isn't actually there in Revolut yet?

No, it's just not working for some people (yet) unfortunately. I've a feeling, there's some random security thing that will be done in a few days. Same happened with some credit I applied to turkey store, couldnt spend if for a few days and then it was fine.

Yes, address in Argentina and no extra charges for transactions.

I'd guess set your address to Ireland and then verify your identify and when thats done switch the account address to the U.K.

I'm imagining some lad in the revolut office, raising his eyebrows at the sudden influx of 'refugees' to Co. Antrim, and their somewhat unknown relationship to an apartment in Buenos Aires.

The first game I bought went through no problem, the second one triggered a security warning with Revolut, but that was easily sorted.

Mine went through now. And I see that my local bank account was only debited a few hours ago. Happy days!
