In a world where Xbox, PlayStation, Nintendo, and PC platforms are competing for the attention of gamers, it's understandable that many feel they need to sweeten the deal with additional offers and exciting promotions to keep players locked into their particular piece of hardware.
Whether it's the competition between Game Pass and PS Plus or a battle between direct discounts in seasonal sales, anything can be a staging ground for getting more customers on board. What that does mean is that there are potential wins for the consumer if you are diligent about keeping an eye on them, as one player recently demonstrated over on Reddit.
Over on the official Microsoft Rewards Reddit page, one user shared a post detailing how they have finally saved up enough Microsoft Points to buy the $100 Xbox gift card (after 15 months). While this is obviously a long time to wait, they essentially managed to get it by doing nothing other than playing their Xbox, which they were planning to do anyway.
If you don't know, every time you boot up a game on the Xbox, you receive a small number of digital reward points that can be spent in the Microsoft Store...
