  1. Xbox Live Currency Cards: Xbox Live Currency Cards are prepaid cards that contain a specific monetary value. Users can redeem the code on the card through their Xbox Live account, adding the corresponding amount to their account balance.

  2. Microsoft Points (Formerly Used Term): In the past, Microsoft Points were the virtual currency used on Xbox Live. However, Microsoft transitioned away from Microsoft Points and moved to local currency (e.g., US dollars, Euros) as the standard for transactions. Store currency cards for Xbox Live now typically represent local currency values.

  7. Expiration and Terms of Use: Store currency cards generally do not expire, but it's advisable to check the terms and conditions associated with each card. Some cards may have specific restrictions or conditions.

  8. Secure Redemption: Users should ensure they redeem their store currency cards through official and secure channels, such as the official Xbox website or the Xbox console. This helps prevent scams and ensures the funds are properly credited.
