Apply 3-month realms pass to active Minecraft Realms

ImageI have an active Minecraft Realms with auto billing for $7.99/month. I was gifted a 3-month Realms pass with code and would like to apply the pass to the currently active realms. How can I confirm that the Realms subscription will carry over after redeeming the 3-month pass? It seems to have created a new "Server 3" which doesn't correlate with the Minecraft Realms account listing the one active realms. See details below:

Here are the instructions on the email with 3-month pass.

How to Redeem your Windows Game Code:

On a PC: Navigate to redeem.microsoft.com to login to your Microsoft account and enter your code.

I followed these instructions pasted the code, and now I see two subscriptions under my https://account.microsoft.com/services/. As pasted below:

Java Minecraft Realms You + 10 Friends Subscription Server 1

Minecraft Realms Plus You + 10 Friends Subscription Server 3

However, on my Minecraft account, I still see one active realms. I don't want to go through the burden of transferring subscriptions, worlds, and friends to a new server. Thank you ahead of time!

Hello Pauline Chow,

Thank you for your contribution to the Microsoft community. Just a reminder, here on community we are not able to double check accounts and subscription codes. What we can do here is provide/guide customers with possible troubleshooting steps for the issue.

To apply the 3-month Realms pass to your active Minecraft Realms subscription, you can follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Microsoft account at account.microsoft.com/services.

2. Locate the "Minecraft Realms Plus You + 10 Friends Subscription Server 3" subscription and click on it.

3. Click on the "Cancel" button to cancel the Server 3 subscription.

4. Once the Server 3 subscription is cancelled, click on the "Redeem a code" button.

5. Enter the code for the 3-month Realms pass and click on the "Redeem" button.

6. The 3-month Realms pass should now be applied to your active Minecraft Realms subscription.

After redeeming the code, you should see only one active Realms subscription on your Minecraft account. If you have any further questions or concerns, please let me know!

If the following steps didn't work on your account, it would be the best to reach out our dedicated Xbox Live support so that they can guide you on the proper steps to redeem your Minecraft Realms. They have a better view than us here on community since they are able to pull up your account manually.


Please follow the steps below to reach out to our live support team:

1. Please use this link:

3. If not, please select the country/region it is showing and select the correct one among the lists.

5. Select the "Contact Us" button
6. Select the drop-down menu options that will match your concern.
7. The next window will provide you with support articles based on your request and we recommend reviewing the relevant articles before selecting the "See contact options" button.
8. On the final window, you will be presented with multiple options. We suggest selecting either the "Chat online" or the "Request a call" options to speak with someone. Be sure to provide as much detail as possible.

Hope I helped!

I'm encountering an issue with Step 3 of the provided instructions:

We can’t cancel your subscription

You have already paid for your Minecraft Realms Plus You + 10 Friends Subscription Server 3 subscription. It will expire automatically on 5/3/2024.

I've contacted Microsoft Support and now they've forwarded me to Mojang Support. Hopefully this gets resolved
