It appears that Xbox has launched a new rewards campaign for its users. Several players have reported receiving free store credit through redeemable Xbox Gift Cards. These rewards might be connected to purchases made during the most recent round of discounts on the Xbox Store.
The Countdown Sale, Xbox’s major end-of-year promotion, ran from December 18 until just a few days ago. According to user reports, some players who purchased games during this event have received gift cards as a token of appreciation for their participation. This information comes from posts shared on Reddit and other online communities, though official confirmation from Microsoft is still pending.
Possible Rewards for Holiday Sale Purchases
The exact mechanism of this campaign remains unclear. According to Pure Xbox, several users have reported receiving messages containing redeemable codes directly from publishers involved in the discount campaign.
Screenshots shared online show messages that appear to come from companies like Electronic Arts (EA) and 2K Sports, both of which have recently offered discounted sports titles. These messages reportedly include a brief thank-you note and a code for a $5 gift card to spend on the Xbox Store.
For now, it’s uncertain how widespread this initiative is, or whether it applies only to specific regions. However, players who made purchases during the sale can easily check by visiting their Xbox Store profile and navigating to the “Offers and Credits” section to see if any rewards are available.
