    Hello There MrProcreate



    Can I buy an Xbox Live Gold membership with the currency in my Microsoft account? The currency in your Microsoft account
    can’t be used to buy an Xbox Live Gold membership at this time. The thing to remember is that the currency in your Microsoft account
    can "ONLY" be used to purchase Digital Content and not An Xbox Live Subscription. It`s a subscription and it`s not a DLC Or a Game or New avatar Clothes and more. It`s a product. A Subscription.

    [table][tr][td]The currency in your Microsoft account can
    • Rent HD movies and buy TV shows, and with Kinect, your voice is the remote control.
    • Download arcade and full Xbox games.
    • Keep games fresh with new map packs, new songs and workouts
    • Get new items and avatar props for your Xbox Avatar Profile

    Unable to buy membership

    To add on to ngocphi's post, the
    MS Account/Gamertag Transfer FAQ     states: "When you change to a new Microsoft account, the current funds in your original Microsoft account do not transfer to your new Microsoft account." Hope this helps! If you have any other questions or concerns
    please let us know. Thank you,

    Nope nothing can be transfered between accounts

    Also currency cannot be used to buy subscriptions since it requires an payment option with reoccuring charges
