i got a visa gift card at a family dollar and I put $50 on it and i tried it for Minecraft...

Hi,

Not all pre-paid debit cards work on Xbox Live. Indeed, not all pre-paid cards allow online purchases. You may need to check with the card issuer to see if online purchases are blocked.

Got a $50 visa debt card for the holiday and I want to put it on my Microsoft account so I can buy RD2. Any option to do anything like that

Those types of cards don't work. Take it to a Gamestop or similar place and buy 50 bucks MS credit.

You cannot use Visa gift cards directly on your account unfortunately.

why didn't you just use the Visa gift card to purchase directly?

If the order hasn't gone through yet then it wouldn't have charged you

I got the Walmart reloadable Cash Card (VISA) logo. I put $100 bucks on it, bought the family four pack and have reloaded it a few times for other purchases . . . works great and I don't have to worry about my VISA getting charged up.

Hello,

Not all VISA/Master Card gift cards work. Usually it's a safe bet that they will work if you are able to register your own billing details on the prepaid cards website. A lot of different banks (Bank of America, Chase, Citibank, etc) offer gift cards that allow
online shopping purchases. I've only personally tried GreenDot Visa (For Shopping), Chase Visa Gift Card, and a Bank of America Visa Gift Card and those all seem to work as long as I registered the card for online use.

If you want to be safe, I honestly suggest purchase Microsoft Point cards or Prepaid Gold Subscription cards with the money instead of just purchasing the gift card itself.
