--------------------------------------
If you're using TorGuard VPN, the Mumbai server will not work (apparently Microsoft knows their IP addresses). You'll get the "purchased in a different region from your account" error. However, the Bangalore server works perfectly.
Some other VPNs may also have the same issue. The "purchased in a different region from your account" error typically means you should try connecting to a different city in India or try using a different VPN. It does not mean that you should change your XBox account's region from the US to India, this is never required.
Urban VPN [urban-vpn.com] is a free extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) or app (Windows, Mac, Android, iOS).

PUR-ConversionBlockedCurrencyCountryMismatch
I'm using Urban VPN (India)
Changed my account information to India

Bummed hate wasting money.
EDIT: step 0. Make sure India VPN on when accessing Eneba Code.
1. Close any browser windows logged into any Microsoft services
2. Connect to VPN with India server location (I was using paid Proton VPN Plus)
3. Open up a private browser window (I used incognito in Chrome)
4. Go to redeem.microsoft.com and sign in with your Microsoft account
5. Navigate to Your info (left sidebar) -> Country or region -> ensure it's set to United States.
6. Closer your browser session.
7. Open a new private browser session. Go back to redeem.microsoft.com and enter your code
8. If you get a "you currently have a subscription from a different region" or "this was purchased in a different region" error, close browser window and restart from Step 3.
9. If you still haven't had success after 3 tries, set your region to India (Step 5), enter the code (you may get a PUP-ConversionBlockedCurrencyCountryMismatch error). Just ignore it, close browser window, and do steps 3-7 with country as United States at least twice.
I know that's confusing, and honestly there was no rhyme or reason to when it worked. It seemed to be some combination of toggling country back and forth between India and back to United States, closing and reopening private browsing sessions, and luck. Every single redemption only worked in the end when my country was United States, and the last two worked on the first try.
In total I got 659 days off 8 redemptions (conversions were always 82 days, sometimes 83). I used the cheapest seller (C2CKEY) which was $10.56 + $1.19 service fee = $11.75 per code.
$94 / 659 days * (365/12) days/month = $4.34 per month Game Pass Ultimate. Excellent deal and worth the hassle
Minecraft I believe you still do need Core to play online, but if she's anything like my daughter, she likely is playing Fortnite a lot more these days.
So I bought 3 years worth of Core, which was 6x 6 months at around $12 each with fees. When I converted those 36 months instead of cutting them in half, I got 25 months instead since my Ultimate sub was inactive at the time. Better conversion rate, a little under $3/month.
I've since topped the remaining 11 months up to 3 years total at the same 81-day conversion rate most people with active Ultimate subs get, at around $4/month. Still a great deal regardless of the conversion.

I was able to redeem them fine with my VPN. I already pay for for windscribe so I just used that and it worked fine.

1. Let current plan expire
2. Once expired, do these India core plans up to 3 years
3. then upgrade to ultimate with a 1 month code and turn on auto-renew
What happens:
You'll see a message saying it will convert your 3 years to ultimate.
Folks always extend with the low conversion rate as core for extending ultimate is low trade in, but core upgrade to ultimate is 100%
Then you do the India plan and it will give you the FULL 6 months.
Do this for stacking up to 3 years.
THEN you do ultimate 1 month, and it will convert your 3 years of core to 3 years of ultimate.
TLDR, the conversion rate of using non ultimate to extend ultimate is horridly low, but you get 100% conversion rate to ultimate when on core first.
I do this every re-up and spend less than $50 for 3 years of ultimate.
"This code can't be redeemed. It was purchased in a different region from your account"
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

If you don't want to take that risk, topping your account off at 3 years with a deal like this is a good plan too.
