Game Stores - no wonder retail is suffering

Care to share with the masses where you can buy either of those 2 games for £36 and download them to your Xbox?

I bought £50 gift cards from these sites for £40.84 with the 5% off codes for liking them on Facebook:

Xbox Live Gift Cards, Xbox Live Points, Microsoft Points
Xbox Live Membership & Xbox Live Subscription By OnlyCDKeys.com

Enter the codes, buy from the MS online store for £45 each. Works out at £36.75 when you do the maths.

Hi there,

as far as I know is that it isn't possible to purchase Gold with your account balance (currency amount on your account).

It can be purchased via redeemable Xbox Live Gold cards or via payment options like a credit card on your account.

WPAK is correct on this. You can find more info here on what you can or can't buy with gift cards Learn about Gift Cards and Codes

Nope, as it's a monthly subscription you'll need to have an active payment method in you account (Paypal account or a debit card) or you can get gold through a code.

Actually you can not buy a recurring subscription but if you go to microsoftstore.com and click on xbox in the blue box then on the next screen click on xbox live gold in the blue box and go through the check out process for a digital xbox live code on the
payment option screen it will allow you to choose to use your microsoft account balance (xbox live gift card balance) to pay for a digital code then it will email you a code and on the purchase confirmation screen will have a code also.

Now you can not use it if you say have a past due balance on a renewing subscription.

At this time that is not possible.

Hello
samsweatman !

If you redeem Microsoft currency onto your Microsoft account.. and it's enough to cover the price of the subscription + tax …

You can contact an actual Live agent at
Xbox Live Support by setting up a call back and see what options the agent can do for you.

I hope this helped!

Hi, everybody! Before, I redeem xbox gift card for Microsoft rewards, do I need require Xbox Live Gold membership, before I can redeem. I have over 9000 points. Do I require Xbox Live Gold membership, before I redeem xbox gift card or Microsoft
gift card for Microsoft Rewards? Is it same I can use Microsoft gift card and Xbox gift card for PCs, Xbox One and Xbox 360?

yes xbox gift cards will work on pc,s and yes you need xbox live gold go for xbox live gold first.

To clarify ... what you'd do is use that gift card on the Microsoft Store website to buy a prepaid Xbox Live Gold membership card. You cannot subscribe to Gold using account funds, however.

Yes, you can buy Xbox Live Gold subscriptions and Xbox Game Pass with a gift card online or from your Xbox."

You cannot use your account balance to purchase an Xbox Live Gold subscription. You can use Xbox Live Gold membership cards. They come in one month, 3 month, and year memberships. It's the same kinda thing, a prepaid code that gets redeemed to your account
and adds the number of months you have purchased. The gift cards with the dollar amounts that get added to your account cannot be used to buy a membership
