If you do not have access to a payment method like a credit card or Paypal, your local PC shop should sell Game Pass key cards, and you can then enter the product key from the card to enable Game Pass on your account.

2026-11-02T05:53:40.68+00:00 A moderator or another person cannot claim the three-month PC Game Pass offer for you; redemption requires a valid payment method because recurring billing is enabled by default.[^1^](https://learn.microsoft.com/answers/a/12216973 "How can i redeem my 3 month pc game pass in "Included with device" in microsoft store? - Microsoft Q&A")
Available options
Ask a parent or guardian to help you add an accepted payment method to your Microsoft account. Depending on your country and what checkout displays, Microsoft may accept:
- Credit or debit card
- PayPal with a linked credit card or confirmed bank account
- Bank account
- Mobile-phone billing through a supported operator
Not every method is available in every region.^2^
Then:
- Open Microsoft Store on the laptop.
- Select Library → Included with device.
- Select the three-month PC Game Pass offer and redeem it using the added payment method.
- Immediately open Microsoft account → Services & subscriptions.
- Find PC Game Pass, select Manage, and turn off recurring billing.
- If the page now shows Turn on recurring billing, renewal is already disabled. You can continue using Game Pass until the displayed expiration date without an automatic renewal charge.[^3^](https://support.microsoft.com/accounts-billing/subscriptions/[Subscription ID] "Cancel your Microsoft subscription")
- The payment owner can then open Payment options, select their payment method, and choose Remove.^4^
Do not post card information, account credentials, or redemption details publicly or give them to a stranger offering to “help.” If none of the supported payment methods is available at checkout, there is no documented moderator bypass for this offer.
