Does one still get money from gift cards even if a credit card is set up?

Fawcroc · Sep 3, 2018

The title says it all. My friend have a credit card set up and I'd like to offer him money with a gift card. I just want to be sure he will get that money. It might be a stupid question because it's literally called "gift card" but i want to be sure.

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Xbox Store Tax ? Why

In Canada the only 2 provinces they don't charge tax is Ontario and quebec, where they still have retail stores, from what I get they consider any digital purchases as using a gift card (even if you use a credit card) and a gift card is not taxable its a nice loophole they abuse in those provinces

Mini-Survey: How do you purchase your digital content on Xbox Live?

I have an Amazon Credit Card, so I buy PSN/Microsoft gift cards from Amazon because I get cash back for them.

I'm surprised by all the people putting their straight up checking account online. Credit card is one thing, but debit card? Microsoft does have good secruity...but you never know.

If it's a Xbox gift card it would go into his Microsoft account balance once he redeems it, which is another payment option separate from his card.

If you do things, like Microsoft, or words, promotional credit you get from there does expire, and that is almost certainly the second amount. Money you add from a gift card does not expire.

get a visa or mastercard GIFT card from 7-11, use that as your credit card to verify your billing info, after the download, spend the credit card so that xbox doesn't use the money in it.

There's different ones though... There's prepaid ones you can buy that have a pre-set amount... Most of those don't work, and it says as much on the card. They're usually considered to be just a gift card, not an actual credit card.

I use a pre-pay type card, that you put money down on than use. It's a Visa from Money Mart, and it works great!

You would have to use a credit/debit card to purchase these types of deals the MS account currency/gift card money does not work
