The important parts would be

"Do gift cards expire?

No, gift cards purchased at retail never expire. Note that promotional gift cards like those from Microsoft Rewards or Xbox Live Rewards do expire."

"What is the difference between a Microsoft Gift Card and an Xbox Gift Card?

The cards work just the same. Once redeemed to your Microsoft account, you can spend your balance at Microsoft Store online, on Windows, and on Xbox."

"Where can I spend a gift card?

Once redeemed to your Microsoft account, your gift card balance is available to spend when you shop at Microsoft Store online, on Windows, and on Xbox. Gift cards do not currently work at physical Microsoft Stores."

Should cover you. One thing I'm not certain with is if "gift cards" can be used to pre-order physical goods. Might want to check with Microsoft Store support on that?

So, you just restated my problem as the solution. Awesome. I don't know anyone with a 360, and do not have a credit card. I can use my microsoft account balance drafted from the gift card to purchase things from the microsoft store, but not the xbox store
on the xbox website, even though it is an xbox gift card, and not a "microsoft store" gift card.

Error message appears when trying to purchase from Microsoft Store for Forza 5 game. Pay using gift cards.

Hi and thanks for reaching out. I hope you’re doing well. I'm an Independent Advisor and a Microsoft user like you and I'll be happy to help you.

Yes, you can use an Xbox gift card to purchase an Xbox controller from the Microsoft store. Xbox gift cards can be used to buy a variety of items from the Microsoft store, including games, downloadable content, and accessories like controllers. To use an Xbox gift card, simply add it to your Microsoft account and then use the balance to make purchases on the Microsoft store. Keep in mind that Xbox gift cards can only be used on the Microsoft store, and cannot be used on other websites or retailers.
