Does Buying Xbox Currency and then Purchasing from Xbox Store still count towards Xbox Live ...

With the exception of the offer for making your first purchase on the store, payment method doesn't matter towards promotions.

Hi lfomariano. Only purchases made in your Xbox Live Rewards currency counts towards the program. Since your purchases were not made in the same region, they do not count towards offers.

Xbox Live Gold can not be purchased by currency stored in your account (Microsoft Points, Currency Gift Cards, etc.)

You may be able to use Microsoft rewards points towards Gold but that's not money stored in your account.

You must use a Credit/Debit card or Paypal/Bank payments.

You can buy whatever you want as long as the total amount equals £60. Subscriptions, in-game consumables, and preorders are the only items that do not count towards VIP ranks, so season passes will count. Payment method doesn't matter, so if you use currency
from gift cards it will still count.

Hello

You can purchase redeemable Xbox Currency cards to purchase content from the Xbox Store instead of adding a creditcard. I believe you do still need to set up a billing address but that shouldn't require a creditcard just your address is your Xbox asks for
it.

Since you're from the Netherlands you can find the currency cards in stores like "Bart Smit", "Mediamarkt", "GameMania" and others. Besides the currency cards you can also buy subscription cards there in case you were planning to play online.

Just a little warning Subscription cannot be bought with the currency cards. Currency cards can only be used to purchase non subscription content from the Xbox Store, for example;Games, Add-ons, movies
