    Hi, my son ask for gifts in the form of steam gifts. He then purchase a game and pays a little bit more to give additional licenses to his friends.

    But you guys, oh boy. To give a gift to my brother, I had to first, use explorer, if not firefox will not work. then put his email address (I already have him as an xbox friend!!!) then send an email to him. He then has to redeem the gift. Now, from the
    microsoft account to the gift card option, there is no quick path!! I had to google it and from there purchase the card.

    Please, stop putting stupid advertisement for the surface, enhance your xbox gifts and the money will come to you.

    A free obvious idea for you. And if you are working on it.. common!!!! that is easy to do.

    :)

    HELP sending Microsoft Points to friend

    Gifting Microsoft Points is not possible. However if you are using a Family-Gold Pack you can do this as the Microsoft Points are shared through the family.

    Question about regions and money purchases

    I live in the US, a my friend is in the UK. I would like to gift him money that he can use either by sending a code or directly through xbox. Is this gifting process possible?

    Microsoft, you guys are really losing money by not allowing direct gifting through the xbox.

    Because it would be extremely limited

    The way you are doing it works better

    Currency cards is limited to the region they are issued

    Sorry but you aren't allowrd to beg or ask for money for anything maybe you should teach your child the value of mine

    Its not supported

    You are talking about completely separate things

    Psn and Xbox do not support gifting due to the fact its will allow not only fraud but illegal behaviour like selling or monetarizing accounts

    With steam if you get baned you lose everything

    With psn or Xbox you can still play the content

    Sorry I rather not give phishers and cheaters more reasons to steal am account

    With gift card options if you are doing anything phishy you are accountable to the fraud

    Gifting is not allowed due to the fact too much limitations like regions and people gaming the system

    People could do illegal things and charge gifts from peoples creditcards attached to their accountw

    People buy accounts or not knowningly buy cheap currency and then end up with q stolen account

    There is actual fraud laws that prevent this

    unable to use any form of credit card

    Normally the Visa gift cards that are purchased at stores like that do not work for purchases on Xbox and this is through the Bank that handles the gift card because they are thinking that you are trying to purchase a renewing subscription and these
    types of purchases can not be made with the gift cards like that.
    please note I put the gift card in pay pal who accepted it as
    cash. it now should be money to spend and Microsoft still does not allow purchase.

    Can you watch a movie through usb stick?

    there wont be an update to allow you to play movies tv series etc via a usb stick, microsoft and the other companies ..netflix etc will simply lose money if you watch a tv series or a movie through other sources.

    Microsoft rewards question.

    Yes I understand that it will add on to my existing microsoft credit. The question is that the gift cards you redeem through rewards have a 90 day expiry date where you have to spend that money within that time. The money I have in my account is through bought gift cards and as so has no expiry date to use the money by. I just want to know if I redeem gift cards through microsoft rewards, when I buy a game it will use the gift card money with the expiry date first and not the money i already have in my account. If that makes sense. Thanks.
