Customers are impressed with the $50 Xbox Gift Card for its convenience as a gift and its ease of use. They appreciate the security it offers by eliminating the need to enter personal information on their accounts. While some customers wish for a digital download option, the majority of feedback highlights the positive aspects of the gift card.
I got one of these from my son for Christmas. I was pumped that I got to buy my own game. But instead, I got some games the whole family have had fun with. It wasn't so much the card that was the gift, it was the giving and family time that I got out of it. It's kinda like being a toddler and getting a great gift, but the box was more fun.

There's not much to say about this card, which will add $50 to the user's Microsoft account for use with content on Xbox 360, Xbox One and other Microsoft online marketplaces. It's simple to redeem on either your console or on your computer by following the directions on the card. This is a great way to add stored value for users who don't have credit/debit cards linked to their Microsoft accounts, by choice (privacy concerns) or by not having a card to link (minors, for instance). This does make a great gift, too, especially if you don't know what your favorite gamer does/doesn't have. If I could make one change, I'd find a way to add in the QR Code scanning feature of Xbox One's Kinect, to make adding codes even faster. But that's a minor issue and one that shouldn't prevent you from choosing this option to fund a Microsoft account.

It's not a slice of bread or a car or a person. Don't expect it to do your laundry or walk your dog. The card itself pretty much goes right in the trash after you redeem the code, unless you're a slob or a hoarder and leave trash all over your house. It's safe to say your life won't change for the better (or for the worse for that matter) after you use it. The card itself is white and it has green lettering on it, which is kinda cool if you notice stuff like that. It is rectangular in shape and made out of a stiff cardboard. I suppose it could serve as a coaster, but I'm not sure why you'd do that. That's kind of a weird way of getting around buying coasters. They're really not that expensive, and this card did cost me $50. That's an expensive coaster. Now, I know what you're thinking - you're thinking " hey, I'll just buy lower denominations of these xbox gift cards! Perfect!" Well, I suppose you could do that, but this review is for the $50 gift card, and I don't want to get off track. Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is, I would recommend this card to anyone who wants to put $50 on their xbox account.....or for any millionaire out there who, for some reason, wants to litter his/her house with extremely expensive coaster-esque pieces of cardboard. I hope this review was helpful.
