Microsoft is launching a major sale for its Rewards program in October, enabling Xbox gamers to make the most of their points. Those who have amassed Microsoft Rewards Points should hold onto them until this sale kicks off, as they will be able to exchange them for excellent rewards like Xbox and Amazon gift cards at reduced rates.

The Microsoft Rewards program allows users to earn points by completing various activities such as browsing the web via Bing or participating in Xbox Game Pass Quests. These points may be redeemed for a variety of rewards, including movie tickets and digital currency for games like Minecraft and Sea of Thieves.

Upcoming Gift Card Sale for Microsoft Rewards Points

However, fans with a sizable amount of Microsoft Rewards Points may want to wait before spending them. According to the Microsoft Rewards website, a fall savings event will begin in October, enabling members to get more value from their points. During this sale, gamers can purchase gift cards at a reduced point cost, making it more beneficial to wait rather than spend them immediately.

The discounts’ exact extent remains unknown, but saving points will allow for broader use in the future. The announcement hints at a “gift card sale,” indicating that items such as gift cards for Roblox, Amazon, Xbox, and Starbucks are likely to be included.

While the sale does not currently have a set start date, associated marketing images suggest a potential launch on the first day of October, aligning with the new lineup of Xbox Game Pass games. Gamers eager to earn additional Microsoft Rewards Points before the sale can participate in the Xbox Game Pass Quest system, which allows completion of quests by playing select games—making earning these points more accessible.
