You currently cannot purchase anything on Xbox.com with your balance of funds on hand with microsoft. Can only use credit card or Paypal account.
You can purchase with your microsoft balance from your console though. I've done this several times with no problems.
Didn't see that this question was answered. If it was, I'm sorry. I haven't had any problems with redeeming points cards online since the conversion to local currency. I've done it with 2 or 3 cards so far.
xbldb.com reporting that Halo 3 just dropped to $14.99! I bet tons of people will be jumping on that!! NOT!!! Lol
Fable III marked down to $14.99 as well. I hope everyone has a copy of that by now, considering it was the first Free with Gold game.

That will tell you how much you have in the way of Microsoft funds.
On a side note, I am sick and tired of needing to be emailed a security code for pretty much everything I do on Xbox.com. And clicking the box to stop asking for one cause you use...

I talked to someone from Xbox support about this, making sure my account hadn't been flagged or something. They said it's a problem that many people are experiencing and they are aware of and working to fix. So until that time, we have to be on our console to purchase things with our microsoft...
Yeah, the person I chatted with on support told me how to get to that page too. It says I have $30.50 in my account. But it doesn't appear as a payment option when I pretend to buy something. Only lets me choose credit cards.
I'm glad it worked for you! I updated and purchased something on my console last night. But my funds still do not show up in the xbox.com marketplace. I contacted support via chat and they said they are aware of such a problem and are working to fix it. Looks like I'll be making all my...
When I last purchased a bunch of points cards from MS Store, they charged me tax. Now, they are converting those points to local currancy (for me, US dollars), and again charging tax. Isn't that double dipping and somehow illegal? Instead of the regular 6% PA sales tax, it's as if I'm paying...
Gamestop has refurbished ones for $70: http://www.gamestop.com/xbox-360/accessories/xbox-360-250gb-external-hard-drive-gamestop-refurbished/103023
Or you could pick up another 120 for $40 and switch back and forth. It's really easy to do so. That's what I do with my 60 and 120.
