If you can find 1 year gold cards for less than $25, then add them to the indys before going gold. Otherwise, don't bother. I can't say I know what would happen if I tried to redeem a indy plan now that I'm family, but I suspect MS might just deny the card. Don't want to risk scratching a card and then having to return it. I have a 1 month card I got when I had to have one of my 360s repaired, so I've thought about testing it with that card. If it didn't work, I'd just give it to a friend since the resell market for a 1 month can't be that great.

Right now, my gold indy is good til 10/13. So, to convert would cost me $5. I was thinking of letting the gold family expire in a year and revert back to a indy. Then add 15 months on the cheap, then switch over to a gold family again.

So basically, buy Fez for 800MS, watch a few videos and get 300MS back? I can do that.

Any deals on 12 month xbox live right now?

Newegg has sent out an email for 10% off 360 and PS3 accessories, so you could get 5 bucks off of 4000 points with free shipping.

Ok, here we go:

Amazon Local has $25 voucher to spend at yoyo.com for $12. Works in Salt Lake City, my guess is it will work for most areas, otherwise just buy one from Salt Lake City, I've never had problems buying from places like Los Angeles on Amazon Local Deals before:

http://local.amazon.com/salt-lake-city

Yoyo.com has 1600 and 4000 MS Point cards for retail price, and free 2 day shipping if you spend over $25 for the month of May. I bought two 1600msp cards to qualify for the free shipping, the code worked just fine. So $14.98 to yoyo.com and $12 to Amazon Local ($26.98 total) for $40 worth of Microsoft Points.

I have never heard of yoyo.com before, but if Amazon Local is vouching for them I think they'll be fine. I already got my order confirmation and estimated delivery date of Wed., May 9.

Also, they gave me a referral code to share (TYLE6862) which should give new customers 20% off their first purchase. Might not work with the Amazon code, but it's worth a shot.

Thanks, needed a points refresh. The referral code didn't stack with the Amazon Local voucher.

LOL, I was too late on this one and wasted $12. 4000 point cards were already out of stock, and 1600 point cards went to limit 1 and then to unavailable as I was trying to check out. Maybe I'll be able to use it on something before the code expires in three months, I guess.

Damn, I bought the Yoyo voucher, but the points are sold out now.

aww wtf. they just cancelled my order...

Sorry about that guys. Everything worked fine for me, it even says my order has been shipped already.

1600 point cards are now magically back in stock, and it let me order 2 of them and use my code. Maybe somebody at yoyo got a little overzealous earlier today?

You should be able to get your money back from AmazonLocal. If they cancel my order, that's what I'm going to do.

Yeah, just sad to miss this deal. Now the 4000 won't even show up and the 1600 are out of stock again. I was just on the phone with them and they said both are in stock. wtf........

Fred Meyer has a "buy $50/$100/$150 in Home/Electronics, save $10/$20/$30" coupon good between May 10th-12th, which effectively brings point cards down by nearly 20%. The trick is to get a 4000pt card (for $49.99) plus some penny item in Home to tip you over.

I posted the coupon over in another thread, where 4 games there are currently 64% off:

I don't know who the guy was who posted that microsoft cloud promo thing but thank you. They sent me two $20 off codes and you can order MS points with free shipping on their site

Is this something repeatable for other people? If so please share.

Glad to see this thread is still alive. Here's a contribution:

Two current promotions for free months of Gold:

Redeem on the M&Ms site for 1 month 25-digit code

The texting promotion does not work with AT&T cell phones apparently. Would stack with the previous promo, and any Gold time.
