It must be the season of generosity at Microsoft right now, as for the third time in recent weeks, we're hearing of Xbox users who have been receiving free Xbox Gift Cards via direct messages on their account over the weekend.
This time around, it looks like people in the UK are getting £4 or £8 worth of credit, while US residents are getting either $5 or $10, and they may be showing up in other regions as well. Here's a look at the message:
As usual, it seems these free Xbox Gift Cards are being handed out randomly, so you've just got to hope you're one of the lucky ones. If you are, you should find a message from Xbox on your console similar to the one above.
Microsoft was doing one of these weekend promotions back in late May, and that was followed up by Xbox users receiving free credit for the Deals Unlocked sale recently as well. It's nothing new for the team to hand out free Xbox Gift Cards every now and then, but it's been happening a lot recently - not that we're complaining!
Were you lucky enough to get one of these? Let us know down in the comments section below.

I got £8 the other week from them. I was at first confused as when I went to buy a game on the storefront, it said I had £8 in credit to use. Initially baffled I saw the message from Xbox and couldn't believe my luck.
Very decent of MS.
Wish I got one. I've got one before once last year. Would've saved me the £1 I spent yesterday for 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate😅 Can't complain though because my Gold would've ran out today and I was thinking about waiting until next month to buy gold because I'm literally skint.
@JON22 Doh, you should have sat in that £1 deal till today. Then bought a load of gold and converted it to gamepass 1-1. Cdkeys had 3 months of gold for £5.99… £24 spend would have got you a year of gamepass ultimate.
When your 3 months is done download a free vpn and check out the gold deals - you can usually get really cheap gold subs from turkey stores. Then just redeem them on your Xbox (your main profile) as normal. Then buy a month of gamepass and it will convert all your gold to gamepass ultimate 1-1. I got 2 years for just over £60 back in November I think it was.
I got £4 Friday, though i did buy a Series X from a local Argos Thursday. Will buy a 42" OLED next year to complete my set up.
Nothing for me, as usual 🙂
Amazingly I did recieve a £4 credit from XBOX. Put it towards Kings Bounty 2 which was nice. Thank you.
yay! i got one, £4.00 so i got ori and blind forest which was just about the last xbox exclusive i needed for my series x.
First time I ever got one, a £4 code. Very decent of them and I look forward to spending that this week.
Got £8 in the last giveaway last week. Spent it on Yakuza Kiwani 2 and 2
Yea, I’ll believe it when I see it!
This is one of those things that I will never complain about. Plz keep it up Microsoft!
Yeah got lucky and was giving £4, bought ReCore as it was on offer.
I got £4 too. It's not a lot granted but still thankful for anything.
More difficult thing is what to buy? Honestly haven't bought much digitally on XSX since launch.
Crikey! I finally got a 'freebie' from MS! £4 credit. Nice. That'll be blown on the Sniper Elite 5 DLC pack.
