Free Microsoft Store Gift Card (email or XBL) - Blu-ray Forum

RxDreamer · 11-25-2018, 02:07 AM

Apparently Microsoft sent a 10.00 gift card out, similar to the Best Buy mystery certificate, not everyone got it. I accidently just discovered it on Xbox in the "Messages from Xbox Live" section. I didn't receive an email. Some people got $5 others $10. Earliest I've seen someone mention the email is 11/16.

Here's the email

Here's the xbox live message

Yeah, I have Xbox Live and got a $10 code. I used it and downloaded some games. Got Batman: Return to Arkham (Arkham Asylum/Arkham City) and the Mega Man Legacy Collection. Batman: Return to Arkham was $5 and the Mega Man Legacy Collection was $6. With the difference and tax, I only had to pay $1.66.

Am I allowed to say I got a rock, even though I'm not an Xbox Live subscriber?

Because I would really like to say that I got a rock.

Trezl · 11-25-2018, 03:09 AM

Thanks for the heads up! $10 here and I almost missed it.

cleeve · 11-25-2018, 02:47 PM

Hmm, not seeing anything in my e-mail or on my Xbox

bigolbigbelly · 11-25-2018, 07:50 PM

I got $10 but I'm not on Xbox live.

kngtmat · 11-27-2018, 08:01 PM

I don't see it either. Oh well, at least I have in the past gotten $5.

KMan2100 · 11-27-2018, 10:55 PM

Nice...just checked and I got $10 as well! Not sure what I'm going to spend it on but I'm sure I'll find something.

ctujackbauer · 04-14-2019, 03:30 AM

New one for $5.

Email title: "Our Spring Sale Starts Now"

Then you have to click the hidden link, click on the blinking flower. It should bring you to the $5 Microsoft gift card confirm and redeem page.

Also, if you go to payment options in your microsoft account it should have the expiration date. Mine is 7/13/2019.

May be targeted, or I just didn't receive one yet.

Thanks for the heads up though!

I didn't get a e-mail or message for the black friday one or this one. My girlfriend got one for both. Although i'm not seeing the blinking flower in the message.

Email was sent Friday 4/12, it probably is YMMV but see if you accidentally deleted it.

The blinking flower is the one in the lower left, takes a little time to blink.

Was reading on reddit that there are different pictures in the emails. Some have the blinking flower with the code and others have venus fly traps with no code.

email title: "Happy Halloween—see if you find a special treat" from Microsoft Store.

I didn't win anything, but if you click the link it will take you to a page to see if you win a gift card/code. A handful of reddit users are reporting they won a $5 code. But it looks like wins are rare on this one, so extreme YMMV.

ctujackbauer · 12-06-2019, 11:55 PM

YMMV, of course, but I got this one.

Coincidentally, there aren't many/any good $4.99 deals on movies this time. But the gift code is good for 90 days.

Wizard of Oz in UHD is $9.99 before the coupon, which is pretty decent I think.

YMMV:
