1600 XBL points on sale at amazon for $18.54

you still have to buy $25 worth of stuff though, and you have to wait

time is money sometimes. especially with that 2400 points deal going on

It's A deal. If someone is looking for 1600 points (like I was) then it's as good a deal as you're gonna find right now.

Sorry guys. I'm a prime member so I take it for granted when things are on sale. Still there are some good fillers if you need em. :)
 
[quote name='USB Cable']I just ordered one this morning, fuck! That's a whole bag of chips or a pen! :'([/QUOTE]

Yeah i ordered one yesterday afternoon =( Darn i could of waited but oh well i guess. For some reason when i tried to buy 2 1600 point cards it didn't let me. Never tried 2 separate orders but someone can probably confirm this.

There is a limit imposed by Amazon on how many you can buy in a given amount of time. I believe I have heard it is 1 per month but others may know better.

I know right, I had some I sold on craigslist for 17 and people still would rather buy them off amazon.

while you can find some sweet deals on CL, it's a buyer's beware site full of scammers, hookers, players, and some legit posts. amazon has a better rep, what can I say. As for $1 in savings? We're CAG's, who wants to pay full retail anymore? No I.

PM'd.
 
It's a deal. We're dealing with MS points, here; essentially, we're paying $18.50 for $20 dollars. It's not like it's an item, and it's not like they're going to drop to anything less than $16 on Amazon. I was waiting as long as possible for even a slight drop in points cards for the XBL October promo. Thanks, OP.

Yup, the days of the $15 MS Points cards do not come anymore. I remember that people on the forums would sell them at $15 but those days are gone. You will find a way to beat the system from time to time but this is as good as it gets with no tax and free shipping.

The best recent deal was K-Mart's offer where it was similar to the PSN one they did. Where you got a $10 Microsoft Gaming Coupon for a 1600 Point Card at $19.99 and a $20 Microsoft Gaming Coupon for a 4000 Point Card at $49.99. But the downside was that you could not chain them together because there was a wait period on the coupons and you could not buy Microsoft Points with them. I ended up skipping this offer because of those restrictions.

Walmart is matching this deal on their website and as long as you do Site-to-Store Shipping, it's Free Shipping and no tax also. Just depends on whether you have Amazon credit or Walmart Gift Cards to burn. (You can get 2% Cash Back if you use Fat Wallet's referral system too, saving you roughly $0.30 >.> ).

I hope that Target, Amazon, or Walmart have the $15 1600 Point Cards again soon. Between Deal of the Week's and the October 800 Point Rebate Offer, I have been burning through Microsoft Points insanely fast.
 
Oh, I forgot. Toys R Us allowed you to order Microsoft Points on their website as part of their Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale recently also. After tax, shipping, and a promotional code, it came out to roughly $17-ish for each 1600 Points Card. Not a bad deal either, but it became (DEAD) awfully quick too.

Are you really afraid you'd order Microsoft Points and get a prostitute instead?
 
[quote name='chimpmeister']I got 4 1600 point cards for 15.xx for a while ago when Amazon was running them cheap, 18.54 is pretty lame for a deal. Just saying. #-o[/QUOTE]

Point cards rarely go on sale. This is definitely a deal, unfortunately.

Shipping is free for site-to-store, yes, but there's always tax when I buy from there. Maybe you're in a state where there is no sales tax?

Have you tried it by putting Microsoft Points in your cart and order? Nothing else? It could be that Microsoft Points are taxed in your state, but qualify as a gift card in mine, so it is not taxed. I know that is usually a roll of the dice as to what a particular state's stance on taxing a particular item is, but it's worth a shot. Walmart has a physical presence in my state, so most items I'd buy online from them would be taxed.

Tax on Microsoft Points blows. I know that they tax it at Game Stop, so I stopped getting mine there. $22 for $20 worth of digital currency is not really what I'd call a deal.
