Roblox Gift Cards Removed from Microsoft Rewards – Why? (2026 Update)

Roblox gift cards (or Robux digital codes) have been a popular redemption option in Microsoft Rewards for years, letting users earn free Robux through Bing searches, daily sets, quizzes, and Xbox/Game Pass quests. But many players in 2026 are seeing the option vanish from their redemption page—often replaced with a message like:

“This item isn’t available due to your region or login state, but you can still redeem your points for items listed on this Rewards redemption page.”

This has sparked frustration across Reddit, the Roblox Developer Forum, and Microsoft Q&A threads. In this detailed breakdown, we cover the real reasons behind the removal, whether it’s temporary or permanent, regional differences (important for users in India/West Bengal), workarounds, and what to expect moving forward.

Main Reasons Roblox Gift Cards Disappear from Microsoft Rewards

Microsoft Rewards and official responses point to a few consistent causes—none of which indicate a full, permanent end to the partnership.

1. Out of Stock / Codes Exhausted (Most Common Reason)

Robux digital cards are one of the most redeemed rewards worldwide because of low point costs (e.g., 6,750 points for 400 Robux) and high demand among younger players.

  • Microsoft buys bulk digital codes from Roblox in batches.
  • High-redemption volumes (especially after big updates or events) drain inventory fast.
  • When codes run out, the option disappears until the next restock.

Microsoft support repeatedly states:

“The Roblox gift card is currently out of stock. This happens because it is one of the most popular rewards, and many people are redeeming it. These cards are usually restocked periodically (Microsoft has not announced a specific schedule).”

Historical pattern:

  • 100/200 Robux options often vanish for weeks/months.
  • Higher tiers (400, 800, 1,000 Robux) sometimes remain available longer.
  • Restocks happen irregularly—sometimes 1–4 weeks, sometimes longer.

2. Regional Availability & Restrictions

Microsoft Rewards rewards are not identical everywhere:

  • US → Usually gets the widest selection and fastest restocks.
  • India (including West Bengal) → Lower quotas, slower restocks, and occasional complete removal of low-point Robux options due to higher relative demand vs. supply.
  • Some countries see only 400 Robux or higher denominations.
  • Error message “due to your region or login state” often signals geo-restriction or stock exhaustion in your market.

In India, users frequently report:

  • 100/200 Robux cards missing for months.
  • Only 400 Robux (or nothing) showing up.

3. Temporary Removals for System / Partnership Updates

Occasional short-term removals happen during:

  • Backend maintenance or code refreshes.
  • Partner agreement adjustments (rare, but possible).
  • Microsoft Rewards program updates (e.g., the major 2026 tier changes to Member/Silver/Gold with daily search caps).

No evidence of permanent discontinuation—Microsoft and Roblox maintain a strong partnership, and Robux remains one of the most requested rewards.

Current Status (February 2026)

As of early February 2026:

  • Many users (especially outside the US) still see Roblox options missing or limited to 400 Robux.
  • Higher denominations (800/1,000 Robux) sometimes appear briefly in the US.
  • No official announcement of permanent removal.
  • Roblox.com/redeem still accepts Microsoft-issued codes when available.

Check your status:

  1. Go to rewards.microsoft.com → Redeem tab.
  2. Search “Roblox”.
  3. If missing → Likely out of stock in your region.

Workarounds & Alternatives While Waiting

If Roblox cards are gone in your region:

  • Monitor Daily: Check the redemption page every few days—restocks can happen without announcement.
  • Alternative Rewards → Redeem Amazon/Visa gift cards → Buy Roblox gift cards directly (often cheaper during sales).
  • Direct Purchase → Roblox.com → Gift Cards (up to 25% bonus Robux on web/computer buys since late 2024/2025 updates).
  • Other Point Uses → Xbox Game Pass, Microsoft Store credit, or sweepstakes.
  • VPN Caution → Changing region via VPN rarely works—Microsoft ties rewards to account region and detects mismatches.

Pros & Cons of Microsoft Rewards for Roblox Players

Pros ✅Cons ⚠️
Free Robux via searches & questsFrequent out-of-stock issues
No extra cost beyond timeLower availability in non-US regions
Stacks with Game Pass questsPoint earning caps tightened in 2026
Safe & official codesNo guaranteed restock timeline

What to Expect Moving Forward

  • Short-term: Likely temporary stock issues—watch for restocks in coming weeks/months.
  • Long-term: Microsoft-Roblox partnership remains strong; no signs of full termination.
  • 2026 Changes: Rewards program tier system (Member/Silver/Gold) and Bing STAR Bonus may affect earning speed, but redemption options should persist when stocked.

If you’re in West Bengal/India and missing the option, you’re not alone—it’s a common regional supply issue. Keep earning points safely and check back often.
