With Microsoft Points, you can purchase products and services from Microsoft and the company's affiliates. This service makes it easy to complete multiple online purchases or to give the points as a gift.
Instructions
1. Buy Microsoft Points from several different sources. You can purchase them from a retail location like Game Stop or online at Zune Marketplace. Look for the Xbox Live or Zune Marketplace logos, both owned by Microsoft.
2. Choose the online store from which you want to use your Microsoft Points. Your choices include Xbox Live Marketplace, Zune Marketplace or Windows Live Gallery. Go to the website of the store where you want to shop.
3. Pick out your products. For example, if you want to buy music, select your downloads from Zune Marketplace. You can find game titles on Xbox Live Marketplace and picture galleries from Windows Live Gallery.
4. Use your Microsoft Points. Put in your Microsoft Points digital code number, and the points will be applied towards your purchase. You may pay less with points than if you paid with a credit card.
