Buying a gift.

Option to buy as a gift is still there. There's a separate option of "Buy as Gift" other than "Buy" that you use for gifting.

Oh, it depends if he selected the option to ''buy as a gift''. If not, he really needs to buy it as a gift.

There is no option to buy an in-game currency as a gift, that will be the only option to buy a game using Microsoft money as a gift.

Hi RickArnold1,

You cannot use a gift card to buy another gift card. Such as Xbox. As it don't work that way. You have to either have physical money (like a credit card) to buy things on the Xbox store or buy an Xbox gift card in the stores.

Again, you cannot do it with a gift card

You can't buy a gift card with funds in your Microsoft account balance. That would be essentially buying a gift card with a gift card. You would need to buy a game or other content in the store and use your account balance as the payment method.
