Xbox is currently running its big Black Friday sale, with huge discounts on some of the best Series X games right now. It’s a great time to build your library — but there’s an even smarter way to stretch your budget further.
Right now, Newegg is selling a $60 Xbox Gift Card for only $54 when you use the promo code BFEFE47 at checkout.
That’s an instant $6 saving on credit you were probably going to spend anyway — and when you stack this on top of Xbox’s already-discounted Black Friday prices, you’re effectively double-dipping on savings.
If you’re planning to grab anything in the Xbox sale, this is a no brainer.
This deal pairs perfectly with Xbox Black Friday
The Xbox Store Black Friday sale has some genuinely great prices, including games starting at under $6. By grabbing discounted gift card credit first, you reduce your real-world cost even further and can even grab some great Play Anywhere titles if you have the Xbox Rog Ally X.
Here are just a few examples of deals you could make even cheaper by paying with your Newegg Xbox gift card:
Using discounted gift card credit on prices like these means you’re saving before you even hit checkout. You can also make the most of this simple Xbox wishlist trick to bag even better prices on the games you are waiting for.
How to redeem your Xbox gift card
The code is delivered digitally via email, so there’s no waiting around for a physical card.
To redeem it:
Your balance updates instantly and is ready to use across the Xbox and Microsoft Store.
When you check out, just select your Microsoft Account balance as the payment method to make sure you’re using that discounted credit.
What can you spend the credit on?
Despite the name, an “Xbox” gift card isn’t locked to just games on your console. In reality, it simply adds credit to your Microsoft account, which you can spend across a wide range of things. That could mean grabbing digital games and DLC, extending your Game Pass Ultimate subscription, or putting it towards new accessories like controllers or even a fresh console wrap.
It’s also not strictly limited to Xbox stuff either. Your balance can be used for many other Microsoft purchases, including Surface devices and Office 365 subscriptions, making it a handy option even if you’re not buying games right away.
If you don’t have anything in mind right now, but know you are likely to spend money in the store soon perhaps for a bigger purchase, you can stack multiple gift cards to lower the cost later. It’s basically a simple way to make any upcoming Microsoft purchase that little bit cheaper without locking you into a single product.
It’s also worth mentioning that the last comparable Newegg promo required a $100 spend to get $15 free, making this current $54-for-$60 deal far easier to stomach, given it’s around the price of a video game.
Newegg usually only runs these promotions for a very limited time, so if you’re planning to take advantage of the Xbox Black Friday sale (or any Microsoft Store purchase in the near future), it’s well worth grabbing one before the discount disappears.
