Using gift cards in Marketplace

[Jake_M]

I got 3 gift cards for graduation and I tried 2 of them and it says they're not valid. Does Microsoft only take credit cards? I've used a gift card in WebOS' App Catalog.

Thanks guys.

yeah i had that problem to , i went to the store and got Pre-paid CC and they always got refused.

what you need to do is get a Pre-paid CC that allows you to go add a address for online use.

i called MS customer service and they ref to the * VANILA gift cards* cause once you buy them you can go the web site and set up your name and address. ( no credit check required )

and i think in the MANGo update you might be able to start usign MS points!

hope this helps
