the gifting microsoft points to a family member is not showing up

They removed the gifting option fairly recently (start of June maybe?) and, as yet, has been nothing said about when it will come back or indded, if it will come back

Hi Jason,

There is no longer an option to transfer Microsoft Rewards points to Family members. If you're looking to use Microsoft Rewards to get some money into family members' accounts, the best you can do is redeem your points for a voucher and gift the voucher to your family member.

I was gifted it from a family member so it wouldn’t show up there. I have it in hard copy.

To gift points from the website, try this:

Sign in to the Xbox site.

Hover over Xbox Live along the main menu

Select Family Center from the drop down menu

Hover over the member that you want to gift points to

Select Grant Allowance

*Note, you must be signed in to the Primary family members account to gift points.

Good luck!

I can understand your frustration with that. This is what I found on the Points issues,

How do I purchase Microsoft Points?

Microsoft Points are the currency of the Xbox LIVE Marketplace. Only the primary Family Pack member can purchase points, making it easier for a parent to manage his or her family’s entertainment budget.

Primary member: This is the Xbox LIVE account that you used to sign up for the Gold Family Pack membership. This account can purchase and give Microsoft Points to other family members (secondary accounts). How do I share points with family members (secondary
accounts)?

Secondary members: Secondary family members cannot use credit or debit cards to purchase Microsoft Points. Instead, secondary account members can redeem a Microsoft Points card (available at retail locations), or the primary member can give points to
secondary members.

It would seem to me, it's more a security thing, I hope this helps you.
