Key notes
As you might know, you can buy Xbox gift cards with points earned on Microsoft Rewards.It is a platform where you can do daily tasks to earn points. With them, you can buy all sorts of things, from gift cards to costumes and coins for a lot of video games.
Deemed by many users as too good to be true, there were rumors that Microsoft Rewards will go away. However,you should rest assured because that’s not going to happen. Not anytime soon, at least.
You should know, though, that there are some things that will go away. We’re talking about the Xbox gift cards purchased with Microsoft Rewards points. They have an expiration date, so whenever you’re thinking about buying one, think about it too.
This Reddit userwas surprised to find out about it after they purchased the Xbox gift card. They’ve sent an email to Microsoft, asking for a refund.
What’s the expiration date for the Xbox gift cards purchased with Microsoft Rewards points?
It seems that the expiration date for the Xbox gift cards purchased with Microsoft Rewards points is 90 days. You must use that gift card within 90 days of the deposit, otherwise, it will expire and you’ll no longer be able to use it.
However, Microsoft makes it very clear that the expiration date for the Xbox gift cards purchased with Microsoft Rewards points is only 90 days.
On the other hand, the Xbox gift cards purchased with real money don’t expire until they are used. So you don’t have to worry about it if you got an Xbox gift card using your money.
So make sure to use your Microsoft Rewards points when the time is right. Take into consideration the 90 days, and plan to spend your points in that time.
What do you think about it? Did you know about the 90 days expiration time? Let us know in the comments section below.
