Buying 360 games with a gift card on xbox one

The xbox web site lets you buy xbox 360 backwards compatable games with a credit card. The xbox store on the xbox one says bundle only instead of a price. I have a gift card. The use of a gift card is not an option to buy xbox 360 backwards compatable games
on the web site. I do not have a credit card. I was also led to believe halo wars was going to be playable in decamber, since that was part of the december backwards compatable release list. I bought 3 copies of halo wars for my brothers and I to play in december
on christmas.

wtf

How can I equip a gift card amount on the Xbox store ?

Hi guys

I redeemed a gift card for the US Xbox One store to buy Injustice: gods among us, although I
don't live in the US. I managed to redeem the gift card, but each time I try to buy Injustice: gods
among us, which a Xbox 360 backwards compatible game for the Xbox One, it returns me to my
country's Xbox One Store. And when I buy an Xbox One game, I can't select the amount that I
got from the gift card, even though it says so in my profile.
How can I fix this ?

You should be able to purchase games with currency on your account via a windows 10 pc or the Xbox store.

However it said when I try and buy a backward compatible game that it does not accept Microsoft points how ever I can buy other normal games

In order to use the currency on your account, you would have to make the purchase on a 360 console.

Also you can not buy backwards compatible games on xbox one with microsoft reward points or gift cards.

But it's backwards compatiable? He can't use gift cards to buy backwards compatible games?

I am having a ridiculous difficulty to try to buy a game this promotion with backward compatibility ... or rather, do not buy. I just spoke to an attendant support xbox Brazil and she said that this is only happening for the backward compatibility shopping,
and many others! In my case or with account balance (gift cards) can buy ... pitiful. I added money for nothing. I want to see if they will do something for me! deadly hatred! ...

Mr Darkling

My point was that if you give someone a $25 Xbox Gift Card as a gift you cannot use it on backwards compatible games. Of course you can use a credit card or paypal account.

You can try purchase game in Xbox 360 console by using your credit card or Xbox Gift Card it's working for me, if you don't have one then try purchase it from the website or Xbox one by using credit card. Lastly you can buy the game (disc) to put it in your
Xbox One if it's have Backward Compatibility on the list

Here's a link you can see what games on list that you can play it on your Xbox one
