How do I redeem Xbox rewards points for lower amount gift card?

I understand how to do it that way, but I don't have a cell phone and it wants to text me a number. The way I used to do it was through the X box's reward app, now that don't seem to work.

Hi,

interesting how different Rewards is in the US and Germany.

Our minimum amount is 5€ and there is a dropdown menue where we can choose higher amounts.

But I wonder if the system doesn't offer you an alternative instead of texting you the code.

Here we can can also get an automated phone call with the code to a landline number as well.

I was able to redeem for $25 just the other day. Have you been trying here $1.25 Xbox Gift Card (bing.com)

If you use the Microsoft Rewards program and redeem points towards an Xbox gift card, you'll get that. If you have it set to automatically redeem when you earn a certain amount of points, that may be the case as well.

I appreciate your response. But this does not apply. I know how to purchase a gift card, but I want to use the credits that were applied to my account automatically by Microsoft when I earned reward points. I earned these points using BING and playing
the games. SO, once I earned enough points, I chose to redeem those points by purchasing a gift card. However, instead of receiving a digital code via email the way I used to, it now automatically adds the gift card amounts to my MS account. The problem
is that I wanted the gift cards to give to someone else... not myself. What is the point of choosing a gift card option to redeem reward points if you are going to give them to yourself??????

MICROSOFT changed the way we use to be able to use the Gift cards. I now have credit in my account that I wanted to give as a GIFT. If I wanted to use the points myself, I would have chose a different reward option! The whole point of choosing GIFT CARD
is to give! Microsoft is screwing up by changing this policy. If they think I am going to use my paypal or visa to purchase anything from them again … after this... they are crazy. I earned those points and want the GIFT CARD for a GIFT!

How do I use the credits that were applied AUTOMATICALLY to my ACCOUNT when I chose GIFT CARD using my rewards points? I want to give the credited amount to my son and granddaughter, which I used to be able to do... now I CAN'T!

I AM FURIOUS! It is Christmas Eve and I go to print out the email like I have done for the past 3 years, and it doesn't have the digital code. It has a statement about it being placed on my account. SO again, I ask.... how do I use those credits to give
a gift card, which is what I already purchased with my REWARD POINTS! ANYONE????
