Yes, you’re basically trading real-world currency for Microsoft currency. If you keep the exchange rate in mind as you spend the MS Points, then you’ll know how much you are spending.
Many of the items you can purchase (XBL Arcade games) are worth the money, but try before you buy: all games have a trial version.

In order to activate the card, you must scratch off an area on the back of the card to reveal a 25 digit code. Unfortunately, when I scratched mine off, five of the numbers came off in addition to the protective coating, thus making the card unusable. I called Microsoft’s Xbox support and after about 20 minutes of going back and forth with an agent and then the “floor supervisor” on it, I was informed there simply was nothing they could do for me. As an IT professional, I found their support agents to be quite unprofessional – a sharp contrast from their enterprise support which strives for 100% “very satisfied” customers.
Quite surprised by Microsoft’s inability to help, I called Amazon’s customer support, explained the situation and much to my surprise, they immediately provided a replacement card and apologized profusely for the pre-Christmas issue. The replacement was provided at no cost, a return label can be printed from their site, and they even expedited the shipping for me – all without my having to ask.
Amazon is a top-rate retailer and continues to exceed my expectations with every order I place.
At the end of the day, there are two morals of this story. First, be careful scratching off your activation code; and second, if you do happen to get a card like mine, don’t bother calling Microsoft – they won’t do a thing to assist you on it. Do what I should have done from the start and deal directly with Amazon instead.

I bought one of these cards while it was slightly on-sale, making it a bit cheaper than buying points directly through Microsoft.
It’s just a plain, plastic card with a portion that you scratch off to reveal a long key code that you enter into your XBL account.
A word of caution though. Don’t scratch it too hard because you can actually scratch off the key code lettering, which is what happened to me. Luckily, I was still able to figure out what my code was and the card didn’t go to waste.
With free shipping through my Amazon Prime account, this was easy enough and I saved a tiny bit of money.

just go to my site and register, follow the instructions. and we mail the codes right to your email same day. its not worth waiting to get or paying for. just do what i do and you can get points like crazy. i got about 30000 points the past month and a half. save yourself some cash and aggravation. register and if you dont believe me, read the testimonals. this is legit. you dont even need a credit card or even need to fill out your address.

It’s 1600 MS points. Spends the same as if you purchased them through XBL or Zune Marketplace. Now at the time I ordered this the instant code was not available. So I strongly urge you people to just purchase the instant redeemable code. Unless this is a gift I can’t see a reason not to. The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because of the shipping. Seriously Something the size of a credit card should not have to be packaged inside it’s own blister pack and then again put into another box 4 times the size to be shipped out. It’s just wasteful. That’s really my only issue with Amazon’s shipping. But now since I can just purchase the code, I can save the time and S&H costs.
