Update: We've received reports that these free gift cards are now being received in the US as well, so if you haven't checked your Xbox messages in a while, now would be a good time! You might just get lucky...
Original story: Yep, it's that time again! Microsoft is once more sending out a batch of free Xbox Gift Cards to various Xbox users (seemingly only in the UK for now) in celebration of the massive Xbox Summer Sale on the Microsoft Store.
We've seen reports of these being received in £4 and £8 increments, but they're only being given out to certain Xbox users, so hopefully you've been one of the lucky few! Here's some evidence from HotUKDeals and Twitter:
These promos usually come along with every big sale on the Microsoft Store, and they're typically available in multiple regions, so we wouldn't be surprised to see this extend to at least the US and Canada over the next day-or-two.
Please do let us know if you've been lucky enough to receive a code, and we'll update this accordingly!

So, newegg has a $100 giftcard, for $90
Xbox rewards has a 4000 point punch card option, buy $40 games, two I think
Which all work well, with the ongoing sale
Not had one of these but got a £10 gift card from my Microsoft rewards and bought some Xbox credit from cd keys, also found Rise of The Tomb Raider on there for £5
I had one appear late at night. Went to redeem it the next day and it was impossible to find on my app!
Couldn't it be considered discrimination to only send out codes to certain people?
What's the policy on 'FREE' codes? Spend so much in the last month or own an Xbox Series S.... Or is it just 'RANDOM' and who decides?
@Vyns all of these giveaways are always just random and also I'm sure there's something in the pages long TOS we all agreed to that absolve them from any lawsuit over some like this.
I have spent so much on this sale that I wish that I would receive one (because there are still a couple of games that I would like to try) but alas… I am sure that my region is out of the qualifying ones. Either way nice sale with amazing offers.
The wording seems to suggest it's either new users, or users who have not yet bought anything from the store.
I’ve been using Xbox Live since the beginning over 18 years ago and I’ve not once had one of these free gift cards. I know they are sent out randomly but still it’s quite a kick in the teeth to those of us who have been loyal for a long time.
It seems to me that they are given out to people who either haven't spent at all or at least haven't bought anything in a while. Which seems a bit of a backwards way of doing it, surely it should be given out to regular users rather than someone who doesn't spend but from their end they are probably trying to increase "conversion" to paying customers.
Where’s my money?!
Removed - unconstructive
I got one on my secondary profile, won’t complain if I get one on my main as well.
My son's account got one lol.
