Japanese Live points problem

Post by ptoing »

I bought some Xbox Live points (Japanese) from PA, via digital download thing. So far so good.
When I want to redeem them on my Asian 360 (Japanese Live Account) it says it needs more information, as in a Japanese billing address. :S

Anyone got a clue what is safe to do here to make it work?

You must enter a valid Japanese address. Microsoft can tell if you enter fake info. Try finding a vacant address or something. That's what I did.

After you enter all of your information, try redeeming your code again, and it should work.

I guess I could ask them. But I could perhaps also ask a japanese friend of mine (who is a non gamer anyway) if I can use their address as a billing address. Which probably would be safe I assume. Hrm.

Playasia cannot do anything for you regarding this matter. Just enter a valid zip and you should be fine.

All you need is a Japanese postal code.

They don't check much else, so you can put in the correct address details aside from the postal code. My UK debit card is linked to my Japanese account this way.

You don't need to find a Japanese address, just enter 530-0001 as the zip code.

I already have a Japanese account, for which I made a live account online and entered a prefecture and a postal code. So that is not the problem. It's that when I want to redeem points I get asked for a more detailed address.

Now I am wondering if some here are suggesting I just need to get the postcode and prefecture right and the rest can be nonsense?
