Xbox live billing is stupid

I would just like to point out how stupid the Xbox live gold billing system is. I just went out and bought a $25 gift card for XBOX LIVE and I can't use it to purchase XBOX LIVE SURVICE!!! I can't use the money I just put on my account to by survice for
my account? Then what is the point of even having xbox gift cards in the first place if you can't even use the for everything Xbox related.

:)

 

Got a Xbox One should I keep it?

You must super rich pal or living of your parents because where I come no one can afford to more then one console ,think of all the bills , you have to pay nowdays ,let me see their tv bill, house bill, often their mortgage or rent bill, tv license , water bill, gas bill, phone bill, internet bill, and now you want add gaming bill for the network on top of them and other thing Xbox one may hAve exclusives but you play previous games in the past on the Xbox or Xbox 360 you can't play them by disc mode only by buying them through dlc and same goes for ps4 for previous playstation consoles , at least wii u network is free and backward play for wii games but other are dlc, electric bill and maybe more bills to pay

work hard and know how to manage your money well.

 

Unfortunately at this time there is no way to purchase XBL Gold with MS currency on the account. You would need to use a subscription card or a payment method listed on the account. The currency cards are for purchasing games, DLC, and other digital content
in the Store.

 

You have never been able to use gift cards/account funds to buy a xbox live gold subscription.

They are used to buy digital content,games,dlc,movies etc.

You need an actual xbox live subscription card,a credit/debit card or paypal account to buy a gold subscription.

 

you can use it for everything Xbox related it says right on the card cannot be used for subscriptions

Subscriptions and promotions even tell you you must have a renewable payment option

It's not rocket science
