Just saw this while snooping through best buy to pick up dk.

A good deal If you were looking to buy any credit anyway!
Says up to 10 per customer/gamertag
Text "xbox live" to 30364 then Snap a picture of your receipt and send it in!
You'll get a 5% off purchase code for MS for joining as well. So it seems this is a MS funded promo

Somebody please post a picture if you don't mind! I'm on my phone!

Seems like a really good deal. Gonna tell my friend about this since he was planning on buying some credit anyway. Thanks!

Great deal, basically 25% off if you buy a bunch of $15 cards.  Ooo, just remembered I have some RZ certs too.

Edit- Also consider that 10% is the highest you usually see on straight credit and those sales are fairly rare.

I only got a 5% off coupon to the MS store when I followed the texting directions.  Did anyone get this to work?

 
Sorry maybe because it is late, I don't get the wording.

You get a $5 digital GC if you spend $15 on xbox live?  So meaning you buy a one year $60 xbox live card you get $20 back?  

Needs to be on xbox live and not xbox credit to get credit, right?

Ya I texted just to see how it would work and it signed me up for a MS store alert list and gave me a 5% code. No other directions.

All the instant delivery codes for credit on BB website seem to be unavailable as well.

That's what it sounds like on first read but I think it's just one $5 per purchase if the total is over $15. So you would have to make multiple $15 purchases to get multiple $5. That's what I'm getting from rereading it.

Found it terribly ironic that they were only available for in store. :rofl:

Link has Xbox Live currency cards in it so I assume they apply to.

 
All I can gather is that it's per $15. I couldn't find anything saying it has to be broken up. Also you have to upload (text) a picture to the number it seems. I'll update the OP and title. Seems to be a MS funded promo.

I'm going off that it says "free $5 digital gift card for Xbox Live when you spend $15 or more on Xbox Live" and nothing about per $15 spent. Implies that you're only getting one whether you spend $15 or $150 in the same transaction.

It would seem you're right I misread! Thanks. We need a guinea pig! Volunteers? >:D

OT why did BBY issue me one big $35 certificate when I have it set to $5? Can't use it on this deal now. :roll:

There is a silver lining to the massive $35 Reward Zone Certificate. You can use it on a purchase that is $35 or more and because of the way Best Buy treats the certificates as a discount, you will only owe tax on the reduced amount. Depending on the tax rate in your state, this will potentially save you a couple more dollars. :)

Yeah, but I think he meant it would be a waste on this deal especially if it's $5 each transaction over $15 instead of $5 per $15 spent. He'd lose out on an extra $5 GC

Well yeah, and I will buy something big soon enough so it's just inconvenient when if I had seven $5 certs I could have applied those all to the same purchase with the same result.
