My kid wants to buy some microsoft points using his xbox 360 elite so
that he can later use them to buy games.
He has previously bought these points by going to Blockbuster and paying
cash, but he only needs a small number of points and he can't find the
correct amount for sale at Blockbuster.
As the guy who stands to have his identity stolen, I am not keen on
giving out my credit card details on the xbox because I have no idea
what sort of security systems are in place to stop people from stealing
the information.
Can anyone please advise me on how the security systems work if one was
to buy something with a credit card using the xbox console?
Also, are there other places that sell these points, either at an actual
store or some other online vendor that I could deal with through my
home computer?
There are definitely somes sites out there that I would never give my
credit card details to, and other online stores that are more trustworthy.
Thanks a lot for any advice.

It's safe. You also have protection your credit card company provides.
Mine is so vigilant about fraudulent use that when I bought 35 euros of
diesel in France, they blocked my card.
