Free Xbox card: €15 of Microsoft credit without paying

What can you buy with a Xbox card?

The Xbox card adds a balance to your Microsoft account. It pays for Xbox and PC games, add-ons, apps and eligible Microsoft Store items, with the same account on console, PC or mobile.

How many Ops for the Xbox €15 card?

In the shop, the Xbox €15 card is listed at 2,150 Ops. Ops are worth more in the shop than when withdrawn (reference rates: €0.0082 per Ops in the shop, €0.0042 when withdrawn; each card's price may differ slightly from the reference rate). Withdrawing those 2,150 Ops as cash would give you about €9.03, while the card gives you €15.00 of purchases.

Official procedure and terms: Microsoft gift card terms.

Which countries does the card work in?

The card and your Microsoft account must match a supported market and currency. A euro code is not a worldwide guarantee: if your account is tied to a country outside the euro area, check compatibility in Microsoft's terms.

Validity, limits and pitfalls

• Validity : Microsoft states that purchased gift cards and their balance do not expire (different rules apply to some promotional credits).
• Not a Game Pass code: it is a money balance; it may pay for a subscription, depending on your country's rules.
• Right account: check the signed-in email before confirming; the balance cannot be transferred.
• Delay: allow up to 2 weeks between ordering and receiving the code. Order early if the card is a gift.
