You will need to be VERY swift though!
Last month, it was revealed that Microsoft Rewards would be hosting a Gift Card Sale at some point in October, and that sale is now live – it features up to 10% reduction on selected gift cards, and Xbox is part of the offer.
If you access the Microsoft Rewards dashboard through a browser (and you’re in a qualifying region), you should spot a banner for the Gift Card Sale in the “Redeem” area at the top of the page.
You can view an example of this below:
Regarding the Xbox Gift Cards specifically, here are the reductions we’re observing as it stands in the UK:
- £5 Xbox Gift Card – 5,595 points (originally 5,890 points)
- £10 Xbox Gift Card – 11,190 points (originally 11,780 points)
- £25 Xbox Gift Card – 27,975 points (originally 29,445 points)
All of these reductions presume you’re already a “Level 2” participant in the Microsoft Rewards program.
In addition to this, we’re also witnessing discounts for Microsoft Gift Cards, Starbucks Cards, and Amazon Gift Cards.
The main caveat is that the sale reportedly concludes on “October 14, 2025 at 11:59pm PT, or until supplies are exhausted”. In other words, you don’t have much time at all to snag a discount as part of this sale, so ensure you don’t linger too long.
We are eager to learn how the discounts are evolving in your particular region, so please feel free to inform us in the comments section below. Also, make sure to tell us if you end up redeeming any points over the upcoming days!
