Copied from /r/gamedeals:

1200 Microsoft Points for USD$5, coupon code required (which was from the Xbox One signup promo)

In addition, a US Microsoft Store account (just make a new one) is required for purchase of the code, but is not necessary for redemption.

These codes are coupon codes for the Microsoft Store, and not game redeem codes.

Other codes that may or may not work.

EDIT 2: As per donga100, these codes were from the Xbox One Signup promotion here. However codes appear to be multiple use. If they don't work, try using your own code if you have them.

    how much does 1200 points cost otherwise?

    • Mentoscoin on 26/05/2013 - 14:49

      Around $10-$20

    • johnno07 on 26/05/2013 - 18:32

      If you could buy a bundle of 1200 points here it would be $19.80. As it stands, the closest you can get is a 1000 pack and a 500 pack for $24.75.

    Can someone please let us know if it can be redeemed? Haven't had much luck in the past with US purchases of points.

    • cooldude123 on 26/05/2013 - 15:31

        Are you using a US account?

        • cooldude123 on 26/05/2013 - 16:28

          No, it's an Australian account, but I used a US account to purchase the MSP.

    How do you do this? i went on xbox.com, signed in to my account, then entered all the codes in the OP in the redeem code section, and none of them work. Where is the option to purchase a code?

    • MasterMirage on 26/05/2013 - 16:26

      You buy the microsoft points using the codes provided above from the microsoft store and they'll send you a code which you then input on xbox.com to redeem them.

  • wonderboy on 26/05/2013 - 16:31

    I just bought one but I haven't got it yet and checked the order history and nothing is showing up but I got charged straight away. And of course the site doesn't have email support

    Ive been charged but not code thus far.

    edit - Hmmm, went back into the site again via the original link and found the points were still reduced. Ordered again and billed again. No code though

    • wonderboy on 26/05/2013 - 16:55

      No orders under order history.

  • blazed on 26/05/2013 - 16:59

    I already did this when it first came out, and just made three more orders with different codes.

    The first time the code took like 4 days too appear.

    Something of interest. PayPal hasn't charged me, they've just let me know that I will be charged once Microsoft processes my order.

  • Hinee on 26/05/2013 - 17:15

    As previously mentioned in the OP:

    Dear Kane,

    Thanks for ordering Xbox LIVE 1200 Microsoft Points from the Microsoft online store.

    We had a problem that led to a delay in processing your order. To make up for it, we've enclosed a token code for 1600 Microsoft Points to replace the 1200 points that you ordered—at no additional charge to you.

    Here's all you need to do to download your product now:

    Use this token code:

    Used my normal Aussie account and just used a random US address on the US store. 1600 points for $5 WINNING

    • YaBigGoose on 26/05/2013 - 17:18

      When did you order?

  • jackthefrost on 26/05/2013 - 17:30

    OK seems like I managed to buy one, but there's nothing under Order History though my paypal is charged. Anyone in the same situation got any upates?

    • cooldude123 on 26/05/2013 - 17:33

      Yes, it happened to me. Just wait a few hours, and then the order should go through, and the code will appear in your email.

      • jackthefrost on 26/05/2013 - 17:39

        Thanks, sure hope so. :)

  • UFO on 26/05/2013 - 17:41

    A shame we have to go to the trouble of being "US citizens" just to get this pricing, but stuff them.

    • yacman on 26/05/2013 - 21:25

      Wait WHAT?! there arnt going to be MS Points on the new xbox?! so it will just be in currency like PSN?

      Cause I was going to stock up, maybe no need to?!

      Although personally I can not see myself upgrading to new console for atleast a year, maybe longer, as a gamer all I can about are the gaming aspects, not if I can watch TV or talk to my xbox (how often does anyone use Sciri on their iphone for example?)

      • jackthefrost on 26/05/2013 - 22:05

        Personally I'm not touching the new XBOX unless it has backwards compatibility.

        • [Deactivated] on 26/05/2013 - 22:24

        • yacman on 26/05/2013 - 23:39

          There was a strange quote I read a few days ago from a Microsoft executive that come out.

          The gist of it was, that there were no future plans for backward comparability (unlike PS4 which sony have suggested you can download them off PSN to be emulated eventually). but instead he said that the xbOne is intended to be a system to run along side the XB360 and they will still be selling the XB360 after the xbOne release.

          I call this a strange thing to say due to the fact that if your bringing out a new and superiour product, your main selling point should be that its so much better than the previous console, not that you still need it. lol

        • SirFlibbled on 27/05/2013 - 08:57

          Not at all. Sony only just stopped production on the PS2 iirc. Why stop supporting a product which is in so many homes already? Not everyone will be a first day adopter.

      • Keef on 27/05/2013 - 09:00

  • yacman on 26/05/2013 - 21:28

    I am having 2 issues any help would be appreciated.

    1. It seems that most of the listed codes are not working (maybe they have exceeded their maximum use?)

    2. My billing info for the account, it wont let me pick paypal as a payment method unless I upgrade the account to a 'Live gamertag account' if i do this WILL IT JUST ADD THE POINTS TO THAT US ACCOUNT?! I need the code so I can redeem on my AU account.

    I am forced to try PayPal because it keeps rejecting my MasterCard with an error (maybe detecting its registered in AUS im unsure, any help please?

    • yacman on 26/05/2013 - 22:18

      could really use some help here guys, made a new account but it still does not like my creditcard and I can use paypal but i get this error when I try

      "We are not able to process your payment using your PayPal account at this time. Please return to the recipient's website to complete your transaction using their regular checkout flow."

      This is extremely frustrating as I can imagine this only working for a limited time…

      • SydStrand on 26/05/2013 - 23:20

        1) Most of the listed codes do not work, it's just trial and error. Also, they might have wised up in the intervening hours while we ozbargained their page.
        2) This is iffy. I first tried my debit card but did not work, but mastercard however, worked fine. No idea about PayPal.
        3) The site itself is borked and crashed more than once during my attempt.

        Ultimately, no-one can guarantee this will work as it depends on your card/input location/code use etc. It's a workaround for getting (expired) US deals. If it works, good, otherwise this was a promotion that was never meant for us.

        For a supposed software company, the Microsoft site is absolute garbage.

        • yacman on 26/05/2013 - 23:35

          Thanks for the reply, I got around it by trying the same process in IE, for some reason chrome was the issue, or what ever was in its cache.

          I now have a new issue, my transactions were cancelled and the site wont let me try to repurchase even one, if you said the site crashed on you a few times when you tried, maybe this is what I am experiencing, hopefully I will have some luck soon, thanks :)

        • Keef on 27/05/2013 - 09:02

          Do yourself a favour and sign up for the Xbox one notification as per another dudes post here earlier. It gives you your own unique code.

          For your convenience it is listed here:
          http://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/104043

          These codes are sources from the above promotion. So if you sign up for your own, you shouldn't have any problems. I Didn't…

  • Captain Howdy on 26/05/2013 - 23:00

    So I'm guessing no one has actually received their code yet? Seems the orders aren't automatically fulfilled, at least not concerning the code email. Payment sure is, though.

    ok, so I finally got my transactions to work with Paypal and got a tad greedy purchasing 5 nothing too broden though lol.

    But about 10min ago my PayPal status went from "pending" to "Canceled" and now if I try repurchase I get

    "We are experiencing technical difficulties. Please contact customer service for assistance"

    Did I do something wrong, or is this happening for everyone, can people still purchase or is the site getting hammered maybe?
