Purchasing an xbox live gold membership as a gift.

Hey, I purchased a gold three month subscription for my friend while it was on sale for 10 dollars. How come it charged me with the original price and not the sale price? I am very confused and upset, because I find that unfair.
Please contact me and let me know what is going on, and why that happened.

:)

I'm having trouble purchasing content and redeeming gift cards. I can still do the auto-renewal of my xbox live gold membership, but nothing beyond that.

 

Eligible purchases for the "Get the most with Xbox Live" promotion

The Microsoft Store is separate from the Xbox Live marketplace. It would not be the same as purchasing Live directly from Xbox.

Per the terms of the offer, During the Promotion Period, purchase an Xbox Live Gold Membership or an

Xbox gift card (for $15 or more) from a retail location (online purchases are

not eligible). It sounds like you have to purchase a prepaid card. Purchasing/renewing gold directly from Xbox would not qualify.
