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

A mix of Credit Card and online gift cards. The Xbox Live marketplace is weird for me, it charges me tax when using a credit card directly, but doesn't charge me any tax when using my Microsoft account balance. So usually what I tend to do is always makes sure I have something in my account balance so when I use my credit card, it only subtracts what was left over after taking from the account, and this never includes tax.

Gift cards

What gift cards are valid? I have a gift card that is not from Microsoft but it is valid in the US. Will it work? If so, then how do I add it in my MS account?

Hi there,

You can purchase currency cards at retail stores(Target, Amazon, Best Buy, etch.) in predetermined denominations like you use to do with point cards, or you can put a credit card on your account and purchases can be charged to that when you decide to make
a purchase.

I hope that helps

How do you add money to my Microsoft account without an xbox gift card, I already tried the family thing and even that wasn't helpful, why can't I just add money to my account with a credit card wouldn't that be easier instead of having to buy a gift card.

Thanks for that Legendary Lynx I've already looked at that. Here is an example of what I was trying to say.

Ex: Lets say that I want to buy something that is $20(currency before transition) on the xbox marketplace. I have $14 of money that was converted from Microsoft Points but I don't have enough obviously. I buy an xbox live gift card that adds $10 (currency
after transition) to my account. Will I be charged tax on the purchase or will I only be taxed on the $6 from the gift cards or will I not be taxed at all?

Also sorry Legendary Lynx about erasing your suggested answer. I accidentally clicked that your post answered my question and had to undo it by refuting it.

how much is the movie youre trying to buy? In some states or country(depending on where you live) you will be taxed and goes by the tax rates in your state or country if that is the case. You will have to add more money onto your MSA or add a card and do
a split transaction on the account, just note some movies and games do not do split transaction so be careful there that it might charge your card the full price.
