    Can I use Microsoft currency to buy an Xbox Console?

    Hi o BATMAN JOE o,

    If you are talking about Microsoft gift cards and available credit in your account, you can use it to buy a console. Although I am not sure about pre-orders.

    With a
    Microsoft or Xbox gift card
    , you let the lucky recipient choose the gift they want. There are no fees or expiration dates, and either card can be used to buy:


    To redeem a gift card, go to
    https://redeem.microsoft.com
    . For more ways to redeem gift cards and codes, see

    Hey there TIMEMAN2010,

    You can purchase games using currency on their respective consoles: You can use currency to buy Xbox 360 games ON the Xbox 360 just like you can buy Xbox One games ON the Xbox One, but you cannot purchase Xbox 360 games on an Xbox One using microsoft currency.

    [quote user="davemcfly85"]but once it is redeemed and converted to currency he should be able to via his console correct?[/quote]

    No, "stored currency value" cannot be used to purchase Xbox Live, just like Points couldn't be used to previously.

    Nathann Blake,

    Unfortunately at this time, currency cannot be used for Xbox Live Gold Subscriptions. Currently the only subscription you can buy using your currency is a Music Pass subscription on Xbox One.
