$5 off 1600 MS point cards TRU Wed and Thur in store. Posted in the MS subscription and points deal thread but figured it deserved its own post.

Heck yeah it deserves It's own thread. Anytime ms points go below 1 point for 1 cent, It's a great deal.

Remember TRU doesn't charge tax on "gift cards" No tax on this one guys.

Best Buy will price match it unless the store's douchey.

These weren't mentioned in the TRU ad by chance, were they? Otherwise, I might see about pricematching at Target.

The OPs link is to a couple pages of coupons...one of which is for the M$ points. If TRU is using a coupon to enable the deal then YMMV on getting a pricematch. I have no problem giving my money to TRU though when they decide to be cool like this. :-)

The only thing I'm worried about is if BB has a policy of not PM gift cards, also the link was from my e-mail not the ad so they also might have a hard time finding the sale on there computers at BB, I guess they could call TRU. My Best Buy is pretty good about price matches so I'm going to try tomorrow.

Awsome. I got a 360 yesterday and just started browsing the marketplace. I'll definitely pick up at least one of these tomorrow.

I really hope Best Buy or Wal-Mart will price match this.

My local TRU is moving and aren't honoring any TRU sales since they're technically a liquidation store now.

Damn it, no love for PSN cards? I know TRU when through this two months, but it was 17% off which is $3 off.
The $5 off would of been an awesome deal for PSN.

Walmart's Price Matching :


We gladly match the price in the following types of ads:

  • Competitors' ads that feature a specific item for a specified price.

The following are guidelines and limitations:

  • We will match any local competitor's advertised price.

We do not honor:

  • Internet pricing



Target's Price Matching:


How does price matching work?

If you find an item in a competitor's printed ad that is priced lower than it is at your Target store, we will match the price.

The competitor's ad must be local and current, and the product must be the identical item.

Local Retail Competitors refers to retail stores located within the same market area as a particular Target store.

All online pricing is excluded from our price matching policy.


What qualifies as proof of a competitor's advertisement?

Please show us the entire printed advertisement. Photocopies of the ad cannot be accepted as verification of competitive pricing.





I recommend printing out the coupon sheet on thick paper at high resolution and show it to customer service at Walmart. It should be easy.

Target will be fairly strict about their conditions.

1600 Microsoft Point Cards rarely go below $15.

Buy as many as you can.

Most stores will have a huge pile of these gift cards on the shelf waiting to be activated.

These are gift cards and do not get taxed.

Do you need the coupon for this sale, or will it already be marked down?
