If you’re an Xbox owner who’s been in the know about buying something new from the Microsoft Store, you might want to check your account inbox. Microsoft started another round of its store credit giveaway this week and it looks like it’s depositing $5 into people’s accounts to use on games or other digital products you might want to buy. There has been no indication yet as to when this promotion will expire, but we already know that the credit has an expiration date, so don’t sit on the credit for too long if you’re one of the lucky beneficiaries.
News of these $5 giveaways was shared on social media this week by those who received the money and wanted to alert others that they might also have that money waiting for them in their account. One of the tweets that received a retweet from Wario64 included the same text used in other posts where people thanked Xbox for the money that came out of nowhere.

This isn’t the first time Xbox has done this sort of thing, and it probably won’t be the last, but like previous times, there’s really no indication of the circumstances in place to govern who gets a $5 bonus and who doesn’t. Are Xbox Live Gold subscribers selected, Xbox Game Pass Ultimate subscribers selected, or are they more random than that? There doesn’t seem to be any way to tell, but $5 is small enough for an amount that isn’t like Xbox leaving people out by buying full games for others.
Among the messages we’ve seen on social media where people have announced that they’ve received money, it looks like several of them were posted on May 26th, so it looks like this was the beginning of this latest giveaway which could mean that if you don’t get one then, you might not You get one. While details about that are still unconfirmed, we do know that the credit itself has an expiration date. Messages received from Xbox indicated that the credit will expire on June 30th, which means you’ll have just over a month to spend $5 if it’s received.
