Summary
Newegg launched a new deal onXboxGift Cards that is equivalent to getting free money, offering 13% off on select vouchers. The retailer’s attractiveXboxGift Card promo is only available until the end of the day.
Xbox Gift Cards are used for topping up the balance of any Microsoft account, thus serving as an alternative to conventional payment options such as debit cards or PayPal. They can hence be used to pay for games, DLC, and in-game currency on Xbox consoles, as well as PC titles and other digital goods bought via the Microsoft Store. One’s Microsoft account balance can also pay for movies, music, and TV shows, or be put towardsubscriptions to any Xbox Game Pass tier, among other things.

While Xbox Gift Cards come in a wide variety of denominations ranging from $5 to $100, Newegg’s newly debuted deal only applies to the most expensive vouchers. Taking advantage of the promotion is as simple as adding a desired amount of $100 Xbox Gift Cards to a cart, then applying the “SSCU3A56” promo code during checkout. The 13% discount is an attractive proposition, as paying $87 for a $100 voucher beats most other Xbox Gift Card deals in recent memory. For context, the lowest price that the $100 Xbox Gift Card ever reached on Amazon was $89.99, which only happened once a year on average since 2015, according to third-party price tracker CamelCamelCamel.
Each $100 Xbox Gift Card bought from Newegg during this brief promotional window hence equals to $13 of free money that can be spent on digital entertainment. Alternatively, the vouchers can also be put toward buyingXbox accessories like special edition controllersvia the Microsoft Store.
Although Newegg also sellsphysical Xbox Gift Cards, this limited-time offer is exclusive to their digital counterparts, which are delivered momentarily via email. The codes sent by the retailer don’t have an expiration date, making this a good opportunity to do some early holiday gift shopping. As is the case with most digital vouchers offered by Newegg, the Xbox Gift Cards are non-returnable and non-refundable, presumably because the retailer has no direct way of checking whether they’ve actually been used.
Newegg’s limited-time offer marks the second major Xbox Gift Card promo in recent weeks. Back in July, Samsung teamed up with Microsoft tooffer free Xbox Gift Cardsto owners of select Galaxy devices, with that promotion still being live as of August 3.
