Great deal but it's $11.95 for three months from MS.
Only for new or inactive members.
Or trade in a game that has over $5 value at EB games to receive a bonus $15
Really?? I just purchased 3 months live at JB and now there is the Microsoft deal + this deal at JB.
I will light a candle and put it next to my Xbox in memory of your lost savings :( may they rest in peace.
The fateful day I paid $29.95 for 3 months Xbox Live :(
Make sure it's only a cheap tea candle lol
Who is providing the bonus credit code?
Because I recently bought the 3 months gold from Microsoft which included a bonus 3 months free code to be emailed a week or so later. But I didn't get the email and after multiple chats and emails with Microsoft they still refuse to honour the deal. I have screenshots of it but they won't cough up. I don't even understand their excuses why not.
A thread here somewhere shows others had the same problem, some got their codes after a fight, others didn't.
Yeah I faced some similar difficulties with the bonus 3 month code from Microsoft.
First phone call, I spoke to some miserable dragon that was obviously having a bad day.
I then tried the live-chat which yielded a successful result.
Funnily enough, a week later I got the bonus 3 month code emailed to me.
So all in all, after turning on auto-renewals here and there to get bonus months, I got 11 months for the price of 1.
Back to your first question… I'm afraid I don't know who is providing the bonus credit, sorry.
Sorry… 11 months for the price of 3.
Yep, avoid Microsoft offers, only by the 3rd chat I got hold of a supervisor and he added 3 months on to my account. I don’t know why Microsoft makes it so hard.
Is my maths out? we frequently buy this as $55 for a whole year right in the specials?
How is 3 months for $30 ($120 whole year) actually a good deal? Even with the $15 credit?
Just genuinely asking as quite a few are saying this is a good deal so I must be missing something….
I guess a lot of those deals are for new/inactive members.
You mean the $55? No, they frequently pop up here at OzBargain from overseas merchants as pre-paid cards. So far they've all worked and given me no trouble.
I don't understand why we have to pay $80 ish here in Australia for them, but so it is with a lot of gear I guess.
Microsoft refused to nonour the deal for me even after I advised I would lodge a credit card charge back with my bank.
So I submitted to my bank a screenshot of the deal and a sample of the Microsoft emails with their refusal to supply the code and just got a letter back advising they've taken the funds back from Microsoft and credited me.
Justice prevailed but what a hassle.
$60 for a year membership not bad.
