Using gift cards or buying it directly is just a matter of personal taste. The game would still be the same. Just don't buy it on some 3rd party key stores and only download the game from minecraft.net.

It looks like your graphics card doesn't support OpenGL or your drivers are outdated.
- For dedicated graphics cards, go to the card manufacturer's site (Nvidia, AMD etc.) and download the driver for your card and OS.
- For integrated graphics, go to your motherboard manufacturer's site
and download the driver for your motherboard and OS. Make sure you download the correct driver because quite a lot of older motherboard don't have Win10 drivers for example and installing Win7 drivers will cause problems.
There's also a guide on how to upgrade your drivers on Minecraft's page.
