Microsoft apply different pricing on different regions, much like an exchange rate would affect your purchase price in a different country, so to try and ensure that MS Points are bought within the same region, they region lock them. So, US MS Points will only work on US-based accounts, and so on. In theory it's a good idea, in practice, not so much
