When you purchase Xbox Live Gold cards, you typically do not receive Microsoft Points as part of the transaction. Xbox Live Gold cards are primarily used to subscribe to Xbox Live Gold services, which grant access to online multiplayer and other benefits. However, promotions or specific offers may occasionally provide bonus points or discounts, so it’s best to check for any current deals at the time of purchase.

To buy content on xbox live you need to purchase Microsoft points. These points can be purchased on xbox live or you can buy prepaid cards from store that will give you so many points. The conversion between points and dollars (US) is 80 points = $1
Yes, they also sell microsoft points. And itunes. And amazon cards.

Nope. Credit cards on Xbox LIVE let you buy Microsoft Points and Gold Membership right off of your Xbox. You can buy cards at game stores, and some game stores let you Pay with cash. Codes on the cards can be typed on your Xbox, and you get the same stuff from that. So Credit cards let you get Microsoft Points and Gold faster. But you can get cards, so you don't need them.
Nope
No, by buying a gold membership card you just get Xbox LIVE access. No Microsoft points. But why would you PAY for your Xbox Live? You can get a FREE Xbox Live Gold Membership for free with the help of my site. It even has a video tutorial to help. (LINK at bottom)
Yes you may.
No, those who create accounts have the chance of having a free one-month membership before having to either use prepaid cards, or using some sort of credit, or debit card to continue their membership, never has Microsoft given free points to their customers such as a situation as this.
Yes, you can. You can buy various Xbox LIVE cards (3,6,12 month) and Microsoft point cards. I don't know how many points you get, but it costs around 25 USD$. You can find it usually in the electronics section of major stores (Target, Best buy, etc) or in game stores.
Xbox Live Gold Membership and Microsoft Points are two separate things altogether. The 1600 points you are refering to are Microsoft Points, used to buy Add-ons, Xbox Live Arcade Games, Premium Themes and the like. This is completely independent of the Xbox Live Gold Membership, which deals with Online Play. In order to utilize Xbox Live Gold Membership, you must either buy a pre-paid card which states the amount of time you are buying, or initiate a pay plan with a credit/debit card. In short, assuming you are looking for Online Play, the 1600 points you purchased are useless
