Microsoft - $15 Xbox Gift Cards (3-Pack) + $5

It's a set of $15 XBox gift cards, what can I say? The 3x $15 gift cards work fine, easily redeem to my XBox account, and have no expiration. The $5 promo bonus card DOES have an expiration, though, so be sure to use that first. The $15 denomination makes these great as stocking stuffers.

Okay, so not much to review here: get $45 in XBox money plus a free promotional $5 bonus. The $45 in gift cards can be used on anything Microsoft sells digitally (not just XBox but also Windows Phone apps, etc.) and come in three separate $15 cards, in case you want to give them away as gifts. Please note that while the 3x$15 gift cards DO NOT expire, the $5 promotional bonus DOES. The expiration date for the promo is printed on the package (mine was Dec 31, 2015) and is the date the promo code needs to be REDEEMED by. Once redeemed, the $5 will be added to your account and will expire 1 year from the date the code was redeemed.

More and more I am buying games from the XBOX Live Marketplace instead of in stores. I picked this up specifically for "Borderlands: The Prequel", and an XBOX Live Arcade Game "State of Decay". Both games were on sale as part of the XBOX Live Marketplace weekly deals. Borderlands was on sale online for $29.99 instead of $59.99 and State of Decay was on sale online for $4.99 instead of $19.99. This was a really great deal as both games are still relatively new. This deal was even better as it was a leftover holiday deal, $50 for the price of $45. The pack comes with three $15 cards and a bonus $5 card. You scratch off to reveal the number on back of the cards and simply redeem them, online connection required to do this as well as to purchase and download your games and add-on content.

You get what you pay for, however with this package deal you get five bonus dollars. Who doesn't like free stuff?! The xbox one is a great gaming console, so if you prefer not to pay for transactions with a personal credit card or paypal, these are a must have. Buy these, scratch off the codes on the back, and input into redeem a code section on xbox one and BAMM instant credit in your virtual account to spend toward games, movies, and music. Great product that serves a great purpose whether for yourself or a gift.

These cards can be redeemed online to use with your Xbox Live account. You can use them for purchasing games online, or use them to purchase game add ons, such as buying gold or buying tanks in World of Tanks Xbox 360 edition. The fact that these came with an extra $5, and were on sale, was even a better deal. I bought a few of these packs during the holidays and would certainly buy them again. It is a better deal than just purchasing online through Xbox.

This 3 + 1 pack is a great value, especially when they go on sale. I've have purchased several of these over the last 3 months. Will continue to do so in the future. Where else are you going to find $50 for $45 (w/o a sale) on a regular basis? Whenever XBL has a great sale, this 3+1 pack is good to have. I also find it convenient there are multiple cards so that I don't have to put a large sum on my account all at once. I can use them as I need them.

The $45 + $5 Microsoft gift cards is a great buy and a great value. For the retail price of $45 you are getting an equivalent of 50 Microsoft dollars. The package includes one bonus $5 gift card plus three $15 cards. You can open the package and break up to give as 3 separate gifts if needed. I always look for this at Best Buy. Sometimes this package also goes on sale. I had bought mine when the complete paccage was $42.99 at Best Buy.

Microsoft isn't like Apple, they usually don't put their bit coin products on sale (which makes no sense to me) because it's really a currency they control, but enough about that. When they released these 45+5 gift sets I was really surprised because it's essentially like getting 10% off. It's the only Microsoft points card that does this and I stock up on them for my son because they make great allowance replacements.
