Gifting a Microsoft cards I go through redeeming rewards?

Question

Can I gift a Microsoft rewards card for Microsoft products to my grandson?

Answer 1

Hi Donna Marranca,

Whether you can give the reward to your grandson depends on how the reward was delivered. Some Microsoft Rewards redemptions provide a separate digital code that can be shared with another person, while others are automatically applied to the Microsoft account that redeemed them.

A good way to confirm is to review the reward details in your Microsoft Rewards order history as suggested by AI answer. If a redemption code was issued, you can generally share that code with your grandson so he can redeem it on his own Microsoft account. If the reward was added directly to your account balance, it would remain associated with your account.

I hope this helps clarify the difference. Let me know if you need further assistance, feel free to ask me by clicking "Add Comment" or "Add Answer" if you cannot add comment so your response will be visible. Thanks for your effort.

Answer 2

Yes—if the reward is issued as a digital code, it can be shared and the recipient can redeem it on their Microsoft account. The context also notes that some rewards may be attached directly to the account instead of provided as a code, so it depends on the specific reward.

To check whether the redeemed reward gives a code:

1. Go to the Order History.
2. Find the reward.
3. Select Order Details to get the redemption code or link.

If the reward is a Microsoft gift card balance rather than a shareable code, redeemed value is added to the Microsoft account that redeemed it.
