 Buy the points card- Don't give Microsoft your credit card! November 15, 2006
Frank (SF CA)
235 out of 264 found this review helpful
First off, I'm an otherwise very happy Xbox Live Gold member. Instead of buying a points card from a retailer, I made the mistake of buying the points online from Microsoft through the Xbox. I used my gamer tag account and entered my credit card on the TV and I bought 500 points. I got the email confirmation that I bought the points. I then used the points. So far so good.
Over the next two days, four other Xbox charges totaling $30 mysteriously appeared on my credit card. Someone bought more points and a game subscription using my credit card info. I called Xbox Live support- their answer was "we don't give refunds." I explained that it's not a REFUND if my account is used fradulently. They still said no.
Note that clearly the security leak was with them, as no other fraudulent charges appeared on my credit card...just Xbox charges.
I then asked them to delete my credit card info from my Xbox Live account. They said they could not do this. I could not believe this! Given that someone had access to my credit card and they were unwilling to remove my credit card info, I had no choice but to cancel my credit card.
My advice- buy the points from a trusted source like Amazon. Don't ever give Microsoft direct access to your credit card info. I hope this helps.
Much Needed Denomination for Xbox Live Currency April 18, 2007

This is a great denomination to release Microsoft points in. Since most games on Xbox Live Arcade are purchased in 400 point ($5) increments this card give you the ability to download ten 400 point games or five 800 point games or some other combination (you get the idea). $50 is also a much more acceptable amount than the $62.50 for 5000 points. Since this is on a card it makes this possible to give as a gift or buy without using a credit card. This would be a worthwhile purchase for anyone with an Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.
Confusion with Amazon Page June 13, 2006
M. Erickson (Eden Prairie, MN United States)

These reviews show up on the list for all four options, the one, three, and twelve month subscriptions, as well as the marketplace points. Carefully choose the "Size" above, which is where you choose between live "gold" months and marketplace points. Amazon just put all of these different products onto the same page, calling them different sizes.
There is of course a difference between months and points, as you can spend points without a gold subscription (just use the free included "silver" subscription with every XBOX 360), and you can certainly buy gold months without having to get any extra points. So one is not required for the other. The points get you extra content downloads, and the months get you online play time.
Works perfectly, but don't scratch too hard October 2, 2007
James Lin (Los Angeles, CA)

I bought one of these cards while it was slightly on-sale, making it a bit cheaper than buying points directly through Microsoft.
It's just a plain, plastic card with a portion that you scratch off to reveal a long key code that you enter into your XBL account.
A word of caution though. Don't scratch it too hard because you can actually scratch off the key code lettering, which is what happened to me. Luckily, I was still able to figure out what my code was and the card didn't go to waste.
With free shipping through my Amazon Prime account, this was easy enough and I saved a tiny bit of money.
1600 points! April 17, 2008
Sick Daddy (Oregon USA)

If you need points to buy games, gamer pics, themes, or movies through marketplace, you will need Microsoft points.
This card for 1600 points is $20.00 worth of points, so you save a penny!
Most people buy their points online through the marketplace, but these make great gifts for the Xbox 360 Game fan who you are not quite sure what to buy them.
