Windows 10: redeemed a mcdonalds code to the wrong account

it was the 4th of april, 2025, a warm day, i entered the McDonalds knowing I wanted that one meal that gives me that minecraft collectible thing, i got the fry helmet! however, today just now i was redeeming it, i didnt look at what account i was on... GASP! THE WRONG ACCOUNT! I tried just redeeming it on my new account to no success "This code has already been redeemed." the machine spouted out of its spoutering spouter, so anyway i was wondering if there is anything i could to get that cool chip hat onto my proper account rather than an old one please?

Minecraft code redeemed on wrong account

Hi.

I had a free version of minecraft with a code for windows 10 to redeem. My friend wanted it, however I got confused and redeemed it through my account and now can't give them the code.

Is there possibly a way to be sent a new code to replace this as I know you can't take a code of an account. But now I have x2 minecraft on my account when I don't need it lol.

Help if possible?

Giving my friend my account is out of question for security reasons.

Thanks.

Minecraft code redeemed on wrong account

Hi Hannah,



Thank you for writing to Microsoft Community Forums.



I understand your query related to redeeming Minecraft on a wrong account. For further clarity on the issue, I would like to know if the code was purchased from Microsoft or Mojang website.



Usually, once a code is redeemed to an account it cannot be transferred to another account. You may want to refer the article

Redeem a gift card or code to your Microsoft account for more information.



However, if you have purchased the game from Microsoft Store, then you can get in touch with our

Technical Support Team for assistance related to the issue, as in the forums we don’t have the right tools to assist you with the code redemption issue.



In case the code was purchased from Mojang website, then you may need to get in touch with the
Mojang support team for further assistance.
