Microsoft announced in a blog post shared today that it will introduce an innovation under the Xbox brand. The technology giant officially announced Xbox Mastercard, the credit card developed together with Barclays.
Xbox Mastercard can be used without any annual fee. Card purchases will earn users points that can be redeemed in Xbox games and add-ons.
Xbox credit card will be available only in the US starting in 2024
According to Microsoft’s statement, Xbox Mastercard will be available to Xbox Insider members in the USA as of September 21. Starting in 2024, it will come to all Xbox users in all 50 states in the country. There is no explanation whether it will be offered in other countries.
The company says that every $1 spent will earn players 1 card point. When 1500 card points are reached, it is reported that a $ 15 gift card can be won, which can be used in the Xbox store. It is also said that points may vary depending on the type of purchases. For example, 3 points will be given for every $1 purchased with an Xbox card on platforms such as Netflix.
In addition, cardholders will also earn 5000 points and a 3-month Xbox Game Pass Ultimate membership after their first purchase. Let’s add that there will be 5 different card designs that can be personalized according to the player identity.
This card is not the first card Microsoft has offered for Xbox. In previous years, the company had released the Xbox Live Diamond card, which provided its owners with discounts in stores. In addition, rival Sony was similarly offering the PlayStation credit card to players. This card, like the Xbox Mastercard, had a points-based system that could be used in games, movies or other things.
