It appears Microsoft have improved the exchange rates once again.

Store	Gift Card Value	Points
Microsoft, Xbox	$5	3095
Amazon, Apple, Coles, Dan Murphy's, Uber	$5	4020
The Good Guys	$10	8040
Airbnb, DoorDash	$25	20100

These are the minimum values, though Microsoft does have a $1.25 option. Coles is $5 only.

Please take note of this for Microsoft/Xbox Gift Cards:

Promotional gift card. Spend within 90 days of deposit. Works with Microsoft Store online, Windows 10, Xbox One and Xbox 360 (Xbox Live required). Does not work at physical Microsoft Stores. Once redeemed to your Microsoft account, the full code value will be applied and may be used for eligible purchases (exclusions apply) made directly at select Microsoft digital stores.

  For reference I redeemed a $30 Amazon GC for 30810 points last year in August.

  With such huge cuts to the amount of rewards points we can gain per day, it's rather surprising to find Microsoft staying on top of exchange rates.

  This is excellent.

  For a sense of scale that's remarkably easy, I've been saving for GTA6 since I'll buy it digital but can't stomach digital prices.

  I was a hundred or two points away from 100 AUD in Xbox credit a day or two back. Let's just say 100 I was that close.

  I can now cash in $127 Xbox dollars, so it's 1.27x what it was a couple of days ago, more than a quarter percent increase.

  Let's hope it doesn't revert before I can put a preorder down :/

    I'm pretty sure it's a permanent, they did a similar thing last year and it stayed.

      I wonder if they've historically reverted or worsened redemption rates, might have to to hit the MS Reward reddit sometime.

        $5 was 4,750 points just prior to this.

        They reduced it to 4,750 from much higher, last year (?) and that was the first time MSFT have adjusted the Reward Points exchange rate.

    Nice one! Here I was getting outraged about the redemption rates - I've had Game Pass Ultimate for 1.5 years now and I've only managed to accumulate 353 points. Not even worth clicking those claim points notifications :/

  Ah crap! I just converted $216 worth of Amazon Giftcards at the old rate :(

    Hiphopopotamus on 05/02/2025 - 18:35

    When was this? I'm very curious when the changes were put in place.

  Can someone work out if paying for Game Pass is cheaper with credit this way than the 35,000 points for 3 months normal?

  • 

    Hiphopopotamus on 05/02/2025 - 19:04

    It depends on what other Game Pass deals are available at the moment, 35000 points is ~$43.50 in Amazon GCs.

    Edit: 3 months of GPU is currently $38.72 through Eneba.

  • 

    bargainatoraah on 05/02/2025 - 19:05

    3 months core is 15k. After conversion 2/3 would be better by 5k points and 1 month gpu.

    • 

      Iggemo on 05/02/2025 - 20:43

      The conversion isnt 2/3 any more.. they changed that a while back, they nerfed everything to the point that there's no more benefit, you have to spend about ~11,333 per month points regardless of what way you try to do it

• 

  bargainatoraah on 05/02/2025 - 19:06

  Xbox $5 gift card is only 2940 or using monthly auto redeem is 2,705.

  Anyone know if this is a sale or permanent new rates?

  It's also worth noting credit purchased this way has a short expiry.

  Interesting to note that redemptions to my outlook.com account ended up in Junk lol

• 

  rowdywabbid on 05/02/2025 - 20:42

  If you are level 2, the xbox cards become 2940 points.
