Quest Cash: Canada to US

Hi,

I'm trying to send another Quest user some $$. I'm in Canada and they are in USA. 

I found out that Meta Gift cards are region locked, so I can't purchase a Meta Gift Card on the meta store with my account (Canada) and send the code to the other person (who is in the USA).

Tech support told me to try sending Quest Cash to them. I tried it at first and it said "You can't gift Quest Cash to someone in a different currency region"

I then VPNed to the USA and tried it again. This time it went thought. But they received the money into their wallet in CAD, it did not convert to USD automatically. When they tried purchasing "shiny rocks" (for a popular VR game - Gorilla Tag" it gave them a currency error. 

I would like to understand how I can easily gift a person $$ for quest purchases (games or in-app purchases) if they and I are in different countries (Canada and USA for example).

Hi @StrictPossum 🙂

I don't know if it is possible to send Quest cash or a gift card to a country with a different currency.

But I know that you can NOT use Quest cash or Meta gift cards for in-game purchases - such as shiny rocks in Gorilla tag. You can only buy games and DLCs from Meta Horizon store.

There are special gift cards for Gorilla tag available(just google for it).

Maybe that's an option?

I think, the currency should not be an issue here, since you only need to give in a code in the game to redeem them.

Hi I don't know, I checked the reviews on Amazon on the Gorilla Tag gift cards and 100% of the review say it's a scan. So I don't know if I can trust these gift cards. 

 

As for cash or gift cards. I actually loaded up my meta/oculus wallet with some money and tried to buy shiny rocks myself. It worked fine and the $$ was deducted from my quest walled. So that should work. As long as the currency is the same in your wallet as the game expects. 

So I still don't have a solution on how to send USD Quest cash to a user in the US from Canada.

You are right ....I've mistaken that. Sorry!
According to TOS it should work and you've just confirmed that.

I think, it's not possible....would be nice if the currency would just change to the currency used in the country, but unfortunately that doesn't happen.🙁

But I can understand your concerns about Gorilla tag gift cards after reading the link you provided.
I don't play that game and never used one of them, I only saw they are available.
