Is it possible to buy xbox live gold with a gift card?

XBOX Live Gift Cards

There’s Xbox gift cards, which can be spent on anything in the store, and then there are Xbox Live subscription cards. If you bought a card specifically for Gold, then it’s just for that. I would go back to the store and exchange it for Xbox gift cards.

 

XBOX Live Gift Cards

Hi All,

Forgive my ignorance, but my wife just bought $60 gift cards that certainly appear to be for a 12 month XBOX Live Gold Subscription.

Our intent was to buy gift cards for my nephews that they can spend whatever they want.

Do the gift cards have to be spent on the Gold subscription, or can they be spent elsewhere?

 

Hiya!

Paul from the Xbox Forums Team here to assist, it would seem the question is if it's possible to purchase Xbox live gold with a gift card. It is possible to purchase a Xbox Live gold subscription using a gift card. To make the purchase feel free to head
on over to our website and check out our store. For further assistance I suggest contacting customer support. I hope the information was helpful, please let us know how it goes.

Happy Gaming!

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.

 

Hello PerkyTortoise80,

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention. In the past, customers were not able to complete a purchase for Xbox Live Gold using the currency on their account. The customer would have to purchase an Xbox Live Gold prepaid code with the currency on
their account and redeem the code. Recently, this method of purchasing an Xbox Live Gold subscription has been changed. Customers are now able to complete a purchase for Xbox Live Gold by using the currency on their account. We hope this helps!
