The fact that its not an best buy exclusive makes it easier cause I have Gamestop Credit to use. Or possible go to Target and get a 5% discount on top of that.

Edit: Damnit but the 5% Red discount wouldn't make it a "$15" purchase.

It's also 10 receipts per email, so if you happen to go crazy with this promo you can just make a new yahoo email and continue sending receipts.

I bought a xbox live starter kit from bj's for 30.00 yesterday. It has 12 month live card, 400 points, and headset and chat pad. Receipt says starter kit. I submitted it. Its worth a shot.

Same. If this is the case I will buy a couple buy 3 separate $15 cards and get $15 free! haha I would do more but seeing as I already have $285 in XBL Credit from the Newegg deal I dont really need much more hahah

 
Has anyone been able to confirm the following:

1 - Can this be completed online?

2 - Do I need to have all of my $15 currency cards on separate transactions or can I do one purchase for $45 worth of credit & get $15 back?

Thanks in advance!

Did anyone figure this out yet? Trying to out if I need to go to Best Buy, or if I can just order online and send up that receipt.

Thanks!

So I am assuming it's safer to buy this in-store?

THIS IF FROM THE MORE DETAILED RULES SECTION:

Purchase an Xbox Live Gold Membership or an Xbox Gift Card: During the Promotion Period, purchase an Xbox Live Gold Membership or an Xbox gift card (for $15 or more) from a retail location (online purchases are not eligible) ("Qualified Purchase") and take a picture of your receipt ("Receipt"). Then, during the Promotion Period, visit https://xbox.promo.eprize.com/getthemost (the "Website") complete and submit the registration form, and upload the image of your receipt. After Sponsor verifies your receipt, you automatically will receive one (1) entry into the Sweepstakes. The receipt image must not exceed five (5) MB in size and must be in a .jpg format.

It also lists 10 per Gamertag, so if you continue after the initial 10, with a new email address, you will have to apply the credit to a separate Gamertag as well, I'm assuming. Not many people actively use two Gamertags, so not sure it'd be worth it to go after the initial 10. Unless you just want to create a new Gamertag and link the console licenses to your console so anything you purchase on the secondary Gamertag can be played on your main Gamertag.

1. It can be completed online through this link, https://xbox.promo.eprize.com/getthemost/

2. From the wording, it says you can upload a total of 10 receipts, and you can get the promo 10 times, so I would assume that you only get $5 per receipt, regardless if you spend $15, or $150.

Seeing as it says you should receive your promo card in 4-days, or something like that, I don't imagine anyone will have any solid details for a couple days.

I honestly can't see why not. I'm also wanting to use a gift card. I don't think they care what payment method you use. Guess we will see

that is a tough one cause it sound like this works kind of like the ibotta best buy promo and you have to spend at least $15 for this promo but let say you bought $15 only for one transaction then use a $5 certificate it will lower the total amount to $10 and even lower the tax cause reward certificates aren't really registered as a form of payment but more like coupons that why the tax is lowered when they are used. Gift Cards are more likely then anything else to work but the way best buy have rewards certificates set up idk.

 
Okay so just got home and just got done following the instructions..

I uploaded two best buy receipts, one for three 25.00 xbox cards and one 15.00 receipt for the 28th. I also uploaded a 30.00 xbox card from walmart from the 30th. I'll keep everyone posted once I hear something.

 
Well the no online purchases is specifically written for contest entries but considering the still vague and intertwined nature of this promo I would expect that it does carry over.  What sizes of credit does GS carry?  Have a bit of credit there and might grab some there too if I can get $15 quantities.

 
Just wanted to let everyone know I did 2 separate 15 dollar cards and submitted one using a 5 dollar reward cert. It makes the receipt show 10 dollar purchase price but does show that it was a 15 dollar Microsoft card. Will let everyone know if they count it since the cert makes it look like a 10 dollar purchase.

I think the transaction had to be done on the 29th or after, since it said within the promotional time range and it didnt start until yesterday.

 
Hmm.. this seems to answer my 'what to do with my $45 BB gift card' question: buy 3 $15 cards, on separate transactions, that's what!

Wait, so you bought $15 worth of credit online at BB and you're gonna try it without a physical receipt? Or are you telling us to do that?
Click to expand...
correct, took a screen shot added unique ID# will let you know if it works, already received one email stating they got it but need time to review, fingers crossed.

 
BloodLust said:
For the email they ask for I just out my main email and not the one connected to my gamertag. Is that gonna be an issue?
Click to expand...
I'm not sure if they just send you a $5 code or directly put them in your MS account. If they just send a code you should be fine but if it's direct deposit it'll probably be an issue.

 
I submitted a receipt from best buy a little while ago.  Will update as anything happens.  (I used a gift card to buy the Xbox card)

Well you have to do a little registration thing and it's not MS giving the codes (it's a rebate fulfillment company) so I'm sure they just email them to you.

Doubtful. They would have specified that you need to use the email linked to your gamertag if you needed to. It is likely to just be a $5 code emailed to you.
