Microsoft has activated a new promotion in its Microsoft Rewards program, and this time it directly benefits Xbox players. For a few days, it will be possible to get gift cards with a 10% discount, both for Xbox and Microsoft Store, as long as you use your accumulated points.

The offer is available until October 14th or while supplies last, and can be found from the console itself, the mobile app, or the official Rewards website. It’s an interesting opportunity for those who usually save points or want to prepare for future purchases in the Xbox Store.

Temporary discount on Xbox cards with Rewards

The discount applies to all available denominations, which means you can redeem, for example, a 10 € card for 9 € in Rewards points, or a 25 € card for a proportionally reduced cost. The cards work just like traditional ones and can be used for games, DLC, accessories, or even subscriptions.

Important considerations

• However, there’s an important detail to keep in mind: once redeemed, the cards are valid for 90 days, so it’s best to take advantage of the promotion only if you plan to make a purchase within that period.
• The promotion is valid until October 14th.

Still, for many regular Xbox ecosystem players, this discount is a small boost to continue using Rewards as a savings method. A simple way to get more credit for fewer points, even if it’s only for a limited time.
