You can now gift applications

December starts tomorrow and that means there are only 3 weeks left until the year-end parties In case we're still undecided about what to give someone close to you, Microsoft opens a new option for us, launching the application Digital Gift Cards with which it is possible to give discounts on games, apps and music for the Windows and Xbox stores, linked to an eCard to which a greeting for loved ones can be attached.

To send a card we simply have to install Digital Gift Cards on a Windows Phone, open the application, and once there choose a design of cards according to the occasion (there are Christmas, New Year, and birthday cards, among others).Then we are allowed to write a personalized message, and select the associated amount, which can be 10, 15, 25, 50, 75 or 100 dollars Finally, you have to enter the name and email of the recipient, allowing you to choose it from our contact list, and giving yourself the option to schedule a delivery date for the card

"

In case we repent, nothing happens. It is possible to cancel the delivery of the gift card up to 15 days after we have purchased it, or until it is used (if the recipient spends it before 15 days, it can no longer be refunded). All this can be done from the History tab, where a follow-up of all the cards we have purchased is shown, indicating whether they have already been sent and/or used. "

Microsoft suggests using these Gift Cards as a complement to gifts for Windows or Xbox devices (for example, giving a Lumia phone along with $10 to download applications).Although for that purpose, perhaps it would have been better if we were allowed to print the card, and thus include it inside gift boxes.
