Can I buy an Xbox gift card and gift it to someone?

Hello Ang_883, My name is Indhurani, I’ll be happy to help you today.

Yes, you can buy an Xbox gift card and gift it to someone. Xbox gift cards can be purchased online or in stores and can be used to purchase Xbox digital content, such as games, apps, and more.

The process used to allow you to send the code directly to the other person, but now it seems that you can only buy a digital gift card code yourself. Once you purchase a gift card you will receive a code, which you'll have to pass on manually to your recipient, whether through email, instant messaging, or good ol' word of mouth. No matter how it arrives, they'll surely be happy to receive it.

I hope it helps you. Please let me know if you still need further assistance.

Sorry for the inconvenience Ang_883!

No, Microsoft Rewards gift cards are only redeemable by the person who received the card. They cannot be gifted to someone else. The gift card would be automatically deposited into your account. There is currently no way to transfer a gift card to another account through Rewards.

I'm referring to Microsoft Rewards gift cards.

Why is that? It's supposed to be a gift card.
