July 9, 20241 yr How would a NON-MSFS and NON-Steam user who doesn't play games buy a Marketplace gift card for a flight simmer who has MSFS on Steam?
July 9, 20241 yr Matt, if the simmer has MSFS on Steam, just buy him Steam gift cards. I've paid for several purchases in MarketPlace with Steam gift cards. If you have Steam, when one selects Purchase, the Steam wallet of the user comes forward and requests confirmation. If you don't have enough funds, then load a gift card into the account. Works like a charm.

July 9, 20241 yr I may be wrong, but I think the big annual 4th of July sale on Steam ends on the 11th. They always have another big one very soon after Christmas. And smaller sales throughout the year. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

July 9, 20241 yr There are Xbox gift cards, those work in the MSFS Marketplace. You can also redeem points you gather by using Bing/Edge for a Microsoft- or Xbox gift card. Both of these cards are valid in the MSFS Marketplace. If you have credits left on your Microsoft or Xbox gift card, you get the option when you purchase something in the Marketplace to use these credits instead of using a credit card.

July 9, 20241 yr Author Thank you all. Where can a non-gamer buy these Xbox gift cards (keeping in mind that this will be for the Steam version of MSFS)?
July 9, 20241 yr Matt, I buy Steam gift cards at Walmart, Game Stop, CVS in denominations of $25, $50, $100. Just Remember, Steam gift cards are NOT Xbox gift cards. Two different things. In fact, you can buy XBox gift cards in grocery stores, not so much Steam cards. If the gamer has a Steam account, and bought MSFS through Steam, then his purchases through the Marketplace will automatically be coordinated through the Steam servers. The servers will tap the gamer's "wallet" for the purchase in the Marketplace. Hope this isn't confusing.
