    I buy mine online through the xbox. I have never been robbed or anything because you are always buying them directly from microsoft, the people who made your xbox and you can trust them.

    if you're worried then simply delete all your credit card info off your account when you're done. Honestly, though, the people who have the skill to hack Microsoft (or Sony) aren't interested in your credit card information. They'll hack it for a publicity stunt or to enact revenge against the company (like with Sony) but if they actually wanted money, they'd go for an easier target with higher value. Why hack MS for a bunch of (probably middle or low income) credit cards when you can hack a server at tiffany.com and get a bunch of rich people's cards? Case in point: even though Sony was terribly hacked, and even though their credit card server was compromised, the hackers didn't take any CC info and didn't charge anything to those cards.

    If I was you, I wouldn't buy it from them. Normally I buy my Micro points in Target or Xbox LIVE. And no their are NOT cheap. For $20, I could buy 1600 Micro points on Xbox LIVE or Target. On the webside that you link is cost more. Look - http://www.code4game.com/xbox-360-live-1600-points...

    It's safe, or just go to GameStop and buy a card. Simple as that.
