You see the following error code when you try to make a purchase on your Xbox console:
Error code: 80169EB6
This may mean that there's something wrong with the payment option you're using for your account.
Solution 1: Remove an expired payment option on your account
Important If the payment option is used to pay for a subscription, you’ll need to first cancel your subscription before you can remove your payment option. For more information, see How to cancel your Xbox Live Gold subscription.
If your payment option is used for purchases only, you can easily remove it. See Remove a payment option online, and then select Remove a payment option on the left side of the screen.
Solution 2: Clear an outstanding balance on your account
If you have a payment option tied to a subscription that has an outstanding balance, you'll have to settle the balance owed before you can make a purchase on your Xbox console.
Here’s how to pay your past-due balance online:
NOTE If your subscription is past due, adding a prepaid code will not settle the balance you owe. You’ll need to settle the outstanding balance using the steps above before redeeming your prepaid code.
If you need to remove a payment option, see Remove a payment option online, and then select Remove a payment option on the left side of the screen.
