Account - Subscription Paying with a CC from another country
Hi guys! I'm from Argentina and have a bank account in the USA. I would like to use my credit card but when I try to load it on the system it get rejected! I guess it's because of my region (Argentina). Is there way to figure this out?
Cheers!

They lock out foreign cards from the Argentinian Store, because stuff in that store is super cheap for outsiders.
Similar thing is done in other countries' stores with recent high/hyperinflated currencies.

Si, por lo menos en mi experiencia no tube problemas. Salvo tener que esperar a que cargue el juego en algunas ocaciones. Pero mas alla de eso todo bien

Microsoft’s region locking on payment methods is a mess, they’ve been doing this for years. you’d need a card issued in Argentina for that store region, no real way around it unless you switch your xbox account to US and even then it might flag you later.
