Usually you have to pay postage of around $15 or thereabouts, so making that a deal breaker (because they usually send out a physical prepaid card). But I phoned up and they said these are electronically delivered so no postage charge, the code is emailed and its all legit (or so they tell me). Same price in their sister stores as well:

http://www.wacomputers.com.au/microsoft-xbox-live-prepaid-24…

FYI - just found out 2.5% charge for credit card and paypal … no charge for bank deposit though

    "Usually you have to pay postage of around $15 or thereabouts"

    It should be $2 to post a piece of paper in an envelope around Australia. However its digital codes, why the need for posting?

    • jazzymc on 05/05/2016 - 15:31

      Meaning this company has always sold them this cheap, but they would rip people off with their postage for just a piece of paper …. now they say there is no postage charge and its emailed instead so no postage involved … sorry for the confusion

    • jazzymc on 05/05/2016 - 15:35

      I just re-read what I wrote …. yes confusing, have amended it to make it more clear …. sorry about that

  • garage sale on 05/05/2016 - 15:30

    Will it stack onto existing, what are the limits

    • jazzymc on 05/05/2016 - 15:33

      I assume its the same with any prepaid XBOX card i.e. stackable etc. , but maybe give them a call to confirm …. I'm new to all this only having just purchased an XBOX

    • Iggemo on 05/05/2016 - 15:38

      no limits and it stacks

      Xbox Gold Live codes stack as far as I am aware and purchased previously, including complimentary/free xbox gold live code.
      Stack up to maximum 3 years, again from past experience.

    anyone know the cheapest place to get 12 months from >?

    • scupper on 05/05/2016 - 16:12

      It's only about $20 more than a 12 month price, which is worth it.

    • NotJohnAU on 07/05/2016 - 17:09

      Sorry hadn't noticed this was 24 months

  • 50cent on 05/05/2016 - 15:57

    is this the cheapest out there?

    Hesitant to bank transfer but too tight to spend 2.5% on CC or PayPal, haha

      Nope, just another name for megabuy to try and avoid all the reviews for dodgy business practices…few links if you want to do some more reading

      Major issues with this retailer.

      • EnALup on 05/05/2016 - 22:18

        Not sure why people didnt wake up when someone posted from a sister company of gearbest. Mods didnt entertain it either. This buyer atleast is in Au and not overseas.

      They like Bank transfers, no way of getting money back i guess if something goes wrong

      • [Deactivated] on 05/05/2016 - 20:45

        Bank transfers only? No CC or PayPal?

        • [Deactivated] on 06/05/2016 - 12:08

          CC or PP also add 2.5%

    • S7iCkSt3R on 06/05/2016 - 00:09

      I rolled the dice and bought via bank transfer. Will update.

        • S7iCkSt3R on 09/05/2016 - 23:47

          Got the code this arvo, entered it in on the xbox just then and works! Hooray.

        • nnolan on 10/05/2016 - 01:16

          @S7iCkSt3R:
          who did you order from ?

        • S7iCkSt3R on 10/05/2016 - 09:29

          @nnolan: IT Spot, don't think it matters TBH, all the same company.

    So has anyone bought the deal so far - got the code and entered it and it's all legit? I realise if anyone has paid via bank they won't get their code for a couple of days so won't be able to confirm yet. But if it's all good please post back. I just want to know before I share this deal with my son and I don't want to risk any vague chance I might get a mother's day pressie :P

      I got one from MegaBuy the other day (but was only 82.53 at the time) it took a day for them to email the code but it redeemed fine.

        Good price!! You should have posted it on ozbargain :). I would have bought it then for sure!

      • 50cent on 05/05/2016 - 18:51

        Yeah man why didn't you post the deal?

      • spiritek on 05/05/2016 - 18:55

        Sorry guys… I actually got it from the deal here I just thought their prices go up and down as someone else mentioned in the comments on that post about seeing it for the same price I did

  • akastyl13 on 05/05/2016 - 18:03

      This is 24 months, not 12

      • akastyl13 on 06/05/2016 - 09:07

        I know, that's why I am saying it is a good deal to get +12mths for an extra $25. (instead of paying $63 x 2 to get 24mths)

        • [Deactivated] on 06/05/2016 - 11:21

          I wasn't sure because you didn't + the deal

        • llama on 06/05/2016 - 19:31

          Not as flawed as your reading skills :P

          HA HA - I read just fine. You posted…

          good deal for $20 extra dollars!

          then came back and said…

          that's why I am saying it is a good deal to get +12mths for an extra $25. (instead of paying $63 x 2 to get 24mths)

          Maths Error: This deal $88 - $63 that you paid = $25 extra for the 2nd year (not $20 as originally posted)

          @Sandwichface: Its been almost two weeks and not heard from them and no code. Not happy, I have contacted them via website and no reply. I saw in the thread they reckon they had 300 orders but I placed mine pretty early and others have gotten theirs within days, its the 18th and still no code…not good service at all.
