Best Buy matched Wal Mart's $14.95 price on one 1600 point card for me yesterday. YMMV, but sometime's they're nice. Couldn't find the illusive 10% off anything coupon online, not sure if it would stack with a PM anyway.

It's funny how CAG is blocked on all BB demo computers but SD isn't.

Apparently, Amazon is no longer allowed to sell online codes for MS points.

Dick move, Microsoft. DICK MOVE.

Do we know MS halted the sales on purpose or is just a case of Amazon waiting to get a hold of more codes to sell?

Ugh, super bummed that I missed this points sale. Oh well, less money spent = more money saved.

The sweet Best Buy CS representative pm'd 5 cards for me.

who? i need the hookup

How did you get them to PM it? I could print out the page but I don't think that will work.

Just got a 12 month card from wallmart.com for $39.96 store pick up... but it says its going to take 2-3 weeks.. Sucks cause my gold just expired today.

I thought it had something to do with gamestop and there pushing of online codes as they try to diversify out of physical media (at least used) Both the 1600/4000 codes are not available at amazon. But than I noticed gamestop.com does not have either of them in stock either. (I think their listing is for the actual card though)

39.99 12 month card at newegg

Just picked one up off the newegg deal. I love buying from them (no tax and free shipping are just bonuses) and I think we'll be seeing straight-up discounts on Xbox Live subscriptions fall off as the year goes on.

Amazon are currently showing the 4000 points cards at $46.71, which isn't exactly a stunning deal but better than I've seen recently.

I got in on the Wal-Mart deal just before they went out of stock online. Got 2 1600 point cards for just under $30. I just got an email from Wal-Mart saying that the product is on backorder and they would not be able to meet the original ship date. No updated date was given. Only an option to cancel the order.

Did you notice this on the email also

" If we are unable to ship to you within the next 10 days, we will automatically cancel this part of your order, refund your original method of payment, and notify you via email"

crap mine just says processing and they took the cash lol we'll see!

Got it and noticed it too and as far as I know I bought cards long before they went out of stock...

Funny, considering you can go to any of their stores and find the 1600 just littering the floor of electronics ...

I'm sure you're good then.

When did you order? I ordered at 8:06 AM Central Time. (At least that’s the timestamp on the email they sent me.)
