The Discord channel of XN has been extended for a gifting section, where community members with international credit cards and the ability to purchase abroad (incl. Argentina and Turkey) are able to gift things for you. Usually they don't even ask for a fee or just a small fee. Feel free to join the channel, see the rules, contact persons, negotiate your trades/gifts and solve your problems.

UPDATE: Ubisoft has begin to increase prices for it's games.

As Alecas told me today (thanks!), the subscription prices for Xbox Live Gold and Game Pass in Argentina will increase significantly! The Gold subscription will be raised from 1699 ARS (~38$) to 2399 ARS (~54$) on 6th of June! The Game Pass subscription in Argentina also climbs from 2868 ARS (~64$) to 4788 ARS (~107$) also on June 6th. Microsoft explains these rapid price increases with changed market conditions, by which the weakening currency might be meant. This possibly does not concern most of you, however, I expect that also the game prices could be adjusted in the near future.

This has happened several times in the past and happens unannounced. Therefore, you may want to spend any Argentina balance / gift cards soon or use it elsewhere to avoid the price shock that will hit you later.

If you still have problems redeeming or spending gift cards (especially in Argentina and Turkey), it may help you to wait 72 hours before making a new attempt. The redemption usually only works via VPN (of the respective country) at the moment. If possible, the purchase with gift cards should also take place via VPN.

Today the Spring Add-On Sale 2019 started in the Microsoft Store. A huge amount of DLCs and Addons is available with up to 80% off. As you know, the DLC prices at Xbox-Now are not updated automatically, but if you are interested in something from the list, you can of course update the prices yourself. In the spoiler below you will find the complete list.

Have fun ;)

The query of the prices can be started directly on the DLC overview page.

Due to the current political situation in Turkey, the exchange rate of the Turkish currency is falling drastically again and is at a very low level of 6 Lira for one Dollar. Almost as bad as in September 2018, when one dollar was worth just under 7 lira. If you remember: Games or DLCs were really low priced in Turkey at that time. You could make huge bargains.

At the moment the prices are turning in a similar direction, although the prices of the games were raised by about 15% a few weeks ago.

So it's best to look at Xbox-Now to find out what you might be interested in and any game or DLC already reached that price. You can get gift cards almost at 1:1 face value. So you may have to be fast in the coming days before the currency stabilizes again.

You can buy Turkish gift cards (TRY) for the Microsoft Store at the 1:1 exchange rate from our partners Oyunfor and MTC!

But you might want to be careful when bunkering Turkish gift cards/balance. You can currently redeem it usually (with VPN), but not necessarily spend it, because you are shown an error. Most times it helps to wait only 72h.

UPDATE: Oleg is still able to purchase stuff for you!

Our user Xbox Gates (Oleg) from the Ukraine has already offered his services to us several times in the past. He is able to buy games for you from various countries (including Argentina and Turkey) and gift you the games, so that you don't have to bother with gift cards or other stuff. This only works because there is no marketplace in the Ukraine and he therefore has a free choice. Since you need a ukrainian credit card, you can't do it yourself. The advantage over Argentinians, by the way, is that he doesn't have to pay taxes. If somebody from Argentina wants to gift something, they have to pay additional 21% tax ontop. And if you're still good at negotiating, you might be able to push the fee a little lower. 

Of course, it must be worth it for him too, otherwise he wouldn't do it. That's why he charges a fee per game purchase, which comes on top. However, this fee is not fixed, so that you can always negotiate it yourself in the best case. This is not very transparent and difficult to calculate in advance, but Oleg told me that he always tries to calculate the fee so low that the game would still be cheaper than in the next possible country, where you could buy it yourself with gift cards. It's supposed to make sense to you.

Example:

A game in Argentina costs the equivalent of 10$ and you could alternatively buy it in Turkey for 20$. Then he would calculate his fee that low, that you have to pay him less than 20$. In fact it is not the lowest Arg price anymore, but still your supposedly cheapest option. And if you are also good at negotiating, you can possibly lower the fee a little bit.

So that I don't spread anything like scam here, I tried the whole thing myself and requested a game of my choice, what he was supposed to buy for me in Argentina. There were no problems and it was very fast and reliable.

But there is still one small catch: Since Oleg cannot use PayPal to receive payments in the Ukraine, you have to pay by Paysend, credit card, bank card or IBAN transfer. He may also use other services such as Skrill or something similar, which are very popular in the region. If you feel like you would be able to help him with PayPal, he won't charge you any fees for any purchase in the future.

Important: To redeem gifted keys you need a VPN! These codes cannot be redeemed without them! Also, you can't gift pre-order games, so you always have to wait for the release.

You can contact him by mail and negotiate everything yourself: Mail: xboxsalesx@gmail.com / Skype: xboxsalesx
