Denied refund for unused Xbox Roblox Rewards redemption that was misleading

Hello Microsoft Rewards Support Team,

I'm reaching out because I'm hoping you can help me resolve an issue with a recent Microsoft Rewards redemption.

I redeemed my hard-earned Microsoft Rewards points for a Roblox reward worth approximately $5, believing I would be able to use it with Roblox on my Windows PC. After redeeming it, I realized that the reward was intended for Xbox, and since I don't own an Xbox console, I haven't been able to use it. I also haven't redeemed or used the reward itself.

I understand that Rewards redemptions are generally final, and I respect that Microsoft has policies in place. However, this was an honest mistake, and I'm hoping there's some flexibility in this situation, especially since the reward remains unused.

I already submitted a refund request, but it was declined. I would really appreciate it if someone could take another look at my case rather than having it end with the initial decision.

My preferred solution would be to have the points I spent returned to my Microsoft Rewards account. If that's not possible, I'd be grateful for an alternative, such as exchanging the reward for something compatible with my Windows PC.

I enjoy using Microsoft Rewards, and I'd appreciate any help your team can offer. I know this is a relatively small redemption, but the points represent time and effort I've put into earning them, so I'd genuinely appreciate the opportunity to resolve this fairly.

Thank you for taking the time to read my request. I appreciate your consideration and hope there's a solution available.

Best regards,

    Hello E S,

    I understand how disappointing this must be, especially since the reward remains unused and you redeemed it believing it would work with Roblox on your Windows PC.

    Please note that this is a user-to-user support forum. Moderators and contributors, including external Microsoft employees, cannot access Microsoft Rewards accounts, review redemption transactions, or overturn refund decisions. My role here is limited to providing general guidance based on the information shared.

    Since your request has already been declined, the best option would be to follow up directly with Microsoft Rewards Support and ask whether the case can be reviewed again. When contacting them, please provide your previous case number and clearly mention that the reward has not been redeemed or used. If available, you may also include a screenshot of the reward description shown when you redeemed it.

    I know this is not the outcome you were hoping for, but I wanted to set the right expectations and provide the most accurate information about what can be done through this forum. The final decision on whether the points can be returned or the reward exchanged rests with Microsoft Rewards Support. Thank you for your understanding.
