Today, I got the following notification on my Win10 Xbox app:

Spring Sale starts today! Here is a special gift to help you make your first game purchase. Enjoy this $10 USD Gift Card you can use to buy Games, Add-ons, and Movies on your Microsoft Store online. Redeem your gift card on console or Xbox.com/RedeemCode by 4/30/2021 and spend within 90 days of redemption. See full terms at Microsoft.com/CardTerms

It's a straight-up $10 credit, no strings apparently attached, and given out as a 25-digit Xbox store code. I'm on XGPU, so I'm curious whether this might be XGPU-specific or if other kinds of subscribers (or even free-tier users) are getting this. Check your Xbox chat/message inbox.

Redeem for $10 if old.



EDIT: I'm seeing reports of longtime users with and without GamePass scoring this offer. My account is 12 years old. Curious if account age applies here.

I got one in the past during a big sale but don't think they sent me one this time. That's awesome for the people that are receiving the credit, though!

Didn't get anything, but I got some credit in euros from Xbox in the past and it was cool. I'd totally use another 10 in this sale though, but maybe I won't get anything otherwise.

Nothing here, but glad for anyone who gets one. Still kicking myself for missing the $5 Xbox gift card in an e-mail from a couple of days ago because I was too late...I missed out on the one around the holidays, too.

These are always US-only and I live up north together with Mounties and polar bears so I never get them.

How is the Uno game for Xbox these days, I've heard before it was pretty buggy. It's exactly the price Xbox just gifted me with so considering this or Threes and some random DLC

15+ year old account, XGPU member, no code.

But that's also probably due to me having about $70 in my account now. LOL

Thanks for posting this. I saw the message early but ignored it; didn't realize there was a $10 redemption code in it 😂

I had 66 in my account so I doubt it's related to that.

Nope, didn't get this (I never get the Xbox message credit gifts) or the recent Microsoft Store $5 email despite often getting those.

My wife's account got it, £8, but mine didn't. I have GPU, loads of rewards points and have spent money. Hers hasn't, she just shares my games. Seems fair.

Did get one in Europe. Any recommendations for something on sale that's not on gpu?

I have Ultimate, and I didn't get this one. I did get a gift card from them back when Black Friday sales began, so I don't know if I was exempted due to that. Did anyone happen to get both?

Yup got £8

Thanks MS - you'll get that money straight back when I buy Doom ancient Gods DLC with it!

Nothing. I think I got $5 for Black Friday from a MS store email (not Xbox). $10 would be sweet.

Xbox live since since day one, every Xbox at launch and nothing. I guess they figure they don't need to bribe me to buy things lol
