Microsoft Store (B&M) - Free $20 Gift Card YMMV?

$20 promotion is not confirmed by others yet.

Apparently you can take a short lesson/class on Windows 8 and upon finishing it you receive a $20 gift card.

First time at the MS store because it's at a large mall that's mainly tourists so I try to avoid it all costs. I went early cause Im used to chaotic Apple events but the lines at MS didnt build up til 9am area. After opening they held an approx. 35 minute class on Windows 8, just 3 people and myself sat down to listen to speaker in a store full of people lol, but afterwards I received a $20 giftcard

I think the classes my be going on all week, every hour on the hour.





Old Information about Bing vs. Google challenge.
Went to the Microsoft Store today at Valley Fair Mall, San Jose CA. I did the Bing vs. Google challenge and was given a gift card voucher upon completion. It's worth 25 dollars and no minimum purchase required. The vouchers are good in store only and until the 25th of October.

You can get Halo Reach for like about $7 after using the voucher and trade it into GameStop for $25.

No this offer was never offered instore. What they did was order on their website in store to get that offer.

Good thing about this Bing challenge is that they are not taking your information afterwards. So you can come back once a day if you wanted to. You can't combine them though.

Time to make trips to the mall more often, are these like the gift cards they have during the phone challenge? If they're more like coupons can they be stacked?

closest store is 30 minutes away in the Mall of America. I don't know if its worth it to take the risk.

What's the Bing vs Google challenge like? Did they dumb down a lot of the results?

Edit: Nevermind, just took it on http://www.bingiton.com ; I don't know how Bing won 2:1 among people since I just took it and 5/5 searches I preferred Google results over Bing. idk

No they are not like the real giftcards they gave out for that promotion. They can not be stacked as well.

Took it myself, did independent searches off of that page to verify. Out of 3 tests, Bing claimed 4 pages that Google actually found. Have to cheat at a blind test, smh.

So technically I can get unlimited tickets depending on how long I just wait or go. It's a great deal but not worth it since the closest store is 30+ minutes away.

Google tells me it'll take me 1 day and 10 hours (if avoiding tolls) to get there, so it's not worth the gas money.

People believe Bing will give a better time there 2 to 1 in blind comparison tests.

I need to go down and do that. How do Microsoft Store preorders work? Can I preorder Halo 4 with this voucher and use it to pay down the preorder? Then you'd get a real 25 dollar gift card.

This. Never even seen one nor knew they even existed. When I saw references in the past to "Microsoft store" on CAG I always just assumed it was Microsoft's online store .
