    Can't buy anything with my Microsoft currency


    so on my (child) account I have 25$ In Microsoft currency but when I try to buy something it says I don't have permission or the ability to do it on my account, but I can't do it on my parent account either, and I've already given my account no restrictions

    i am not sure what is going on with my beta and microsoft points.

    i apparently signed up for the beta but it has not done anything at all with my dashboard, i can't access my currency and microsoft points are not going into my account even though i still need them to buy any dlc or anything. I either need to get the update
    for my console or get my microsoft points back somehow, otherwise i'm stuck in a sort of limbo when it comes to any purchase.

    Can't use Microsoft account to pay for Xbox Live

    Vicious,

    This is because at the present time currency cannot be used to purchase a subscription with the exception of the Music Pass on Xbox One. This is stated in their

    Currency FAQ    :

    Can I buy an Xbox Live Gold membership with the currency in my Microsoft account?

    The currency in your Microsoft account can’t be used to buy an Xbox Live Gold membership at this time.

    Can I buy music with the currency in my Microsoft account?

    Beginning Holiday 2013, you will be able to use the currency in your Microsoft account to sign up for an Xbox Music Pass on Xbox One. Dates and availability of music for purchase varies by device and region.

    The wording "at this time" makes we wonder if they will allow it in the future though, but as it stands now this is why you can't use the currency to purchase the subscription.

    Can't Use Microsoft Account Balance on xbox.com

    Okay but why? It's been a year since they switched points to currency. They have no problem taking my credit card but Microsoft currency I actually purchased can't be used. So basically I shouldn't buy xbox cards anymore.

    Is the gamerscore worth anything?

    Gamerscore has never been worth anything. It has no monetary value and can't be used for anything other than bragging rights.

    What you're seeing from 2013 is Microsoft points. That was what Microsoft used as currency in the Xbox store before discontinuing that and using the current currency system.

    Free Microsoft Points

    Microsoft Points are a form of currency. You buy them online or at retailers. You can't get free Microsoft Points for the same reason why you can't get free iTunes credit.

    Microsoft can't give you money your going to either use a credit card or buy a currency card in a local store!
