I got a notice my MS account was updated and the 240 points I had was converted to 3 bucks. I was gifted a couple MS 1600 points cards and added them to my account via XBOX console. I now have no points but my account shows over $46.xx. I knew this was going to happen with the updates to Xbox and XBL and its not my concern.

I have a Windows Phone 8, Surface, and Win 8 PC.  Since this update I noticed my Wallet app in the phone shows the $46.xx as does my xbox. With that said, I haven't noticed an update with the Windows 8 Store. It doesn't seem that I can use these funds to purchase apps, although I can purchase phone apps.

Is this truly the way it works now or am I missing something?
