The Xbox Spring Promotion offers up to 80% off Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S games, including hundreds of games, bundles, and DLC. As part of the tradition of Xbox holiday events, some Xbox players will also receive a special gift. Some users have confirmed that Xbox is randomly handing out gift cards.
Many Xbox users share this on social media, and they receive Gift Cards for Xbox through the email address associated with their Xbox account, all for $5. It’s unclear how many gift cards have been sent, and while these cards are rare, if you’re an Xbox user, you should check your email to see if you’re one of the lucky ones.
Xbox users can use gift cards at will through Xbox and the Microsoft Store, whether it’s a game, DLC, movie, or app. It is worth noting, however, that the gift card will expire on July 16 this year.
This isn’t the first time Xbox has done this kind of giveaway, it’s become a regular feature of Xbox big promotions. The last time was Christmas 2021, when Xbox randomly sent gift cards worth up to $100 to users in xbox and Microsoft stores.
It’s unclear whether the giveaways are completely random, or whether Xbox is using an algorithm to hand out gift cards to valuable users or users it thinks are more likely to spend money during a promotion.
