How can we improve the Oculus Quest platform?

Oculus Gift Cards

My prefered way to make game purchases is via physical gift cards (scratch cards) that I buy at various stores to add funds to a virtual wallet that most virtual stores offer.

So far I have been able to make use of google play cards, steam gift cards, blizzard gift cards, PlayStation network cards.

Using PayPal or a Credit/Debit Card is inconvenient since if we don't have a credit/debit card or PayPal we can't purchase the games.

Even though you created an Oculus Quest which doesn't require PC or insight Track you can't really expect us to purchase the Oculus Quest or Oculus Rift S without another payment method like a gift card since it Prevents the customers under 18 to buy the game from the store.

And I know other stores that also offer this type of payment

Payment methods should be plentiful and convenient.
The Oculus store is the only one that does not offer a payment method that I can make use of.

So would you kindly add more?

    Be VERY careful when purchasing a Visa card for example! It is ridiculously time consuming to research at the store...& I just got burned!!! GreenDot VISA...has it for 30minutes and it deducted $9.95 monthly maintenance fee?!?! If I only stood at the store another 45 min. to research more... :(

    ALSO SCHOOLS - You don't do tax exempt, so one work around is a Gift Card - which hides the taxes (but it works)

    I am not an adult (16) and don't have the trust of my parents to use a credit card (yet) and a gift card would be great and appreciated from young gamers and people who can't afford to buy games and rely on outhers. please oculus this will be a life saver.

    I don't have a credit card and a gift card system would be perfect and easier for me to spend more money on games on your store please let this happen

    they need to add this for people who don't have access to credit/debit cards (me) because i want to buy games but I don't have the means to pay for them without a. gift card

    Personally, i think gifting money in general would be of help. dont have to be an "in shop" gift card, at very least a printerble gift like Amazon does would be a good start to give for birthday presents etc.

    Oculus Would Not Make Money From This! Stop Saying it they give the same credit the only way oculus would make money from this is if they make the gift cards more, EG. $5.95 For 1 giftcard and a minimal amount like $20 - $500 Per Giftcard like say i want to put $500 on it i have to pay $505.95

    I agree i had to grab my parents credit card and hand them the money but i did find another way to do this so what you can do is go to a shop in this case i went to the post office and bought a mastercard giftcard that allowed me to purchase games so maybe try this method.

    I think we should add gift cards to the market because it will definitely help people that have straight cash and could pay there parents, but dont really trust anyone using PayPal, not having the gift cards doesn't effect me but would be a very nice change just in case you were on the way somewhere, and wanted to pick one up before you go home. Change my mind.

    If my kids want to buy an Oculus game for me as a b-day present or a Christmas present, they can't do it under the present system. Please institute a gift card system.

    They can make a lot of money from this, because there’s people who don’t have access to credit cards so why not provide them codes for it

    This is a must, so many times i have wanted to share a game with a friend and i can only do so by word of mouth which doesn't always turn out in a buy =/
