Yes, you've read the title right: Microsoft has announced a no annual fee Xbox-branded credit card in partnership with Mastercard. However, there's more than the Xbox logo to this credit card as it allows users to earn card points with everyday purchases that can be used to redeem on games and add-ons at xbox.com. The Xbox Mastercard will be available exclusively to Xbox Insiders in the 50 United States beginning on September 21. Its availability will expand to all Xbox players in the 50 United States in 2024.

More details about the Xbox Mastercard can be found below:

With the Xbox Mastercard, players can earn card points for every $1 spent on purchases including:

• Xbox & Microsoft – Earn 5x card points on eligible products at the Microsoft Store.
• Streaming Services – Earn 3x card points on eligible streaming services like Netflix and Disney+.
• Dining Delivery Services – Earn 3x card points on eligible dining delivery services like Grubhub and DoorDash.
• Everyday purchases – Earn 1x card points on all other everyday purchases.

Cardmembers will also get access to more benefits including:

• A bonus of 5,000 card points (a $50 value) after their first purchase.
• Three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate for new Game Pass members after their first purchase. If they’re already a Game Pass member, they can easily gift it to a friend to play together.
• Choice of one of five iconic designs for their card, with the option of personalizing it with their gamertag.
• Flexibility of use with contactless payments and digital wallets.
• Free online access to cardmembers’ FICO Credit Score, which allows users to keep an eye on their credit score and receive alerts when their score has changed.
• $0 Fraud Liability protection, so cardmembers are not responsible for charges they didn’t authorize.

Nothing melt the ladies like using my Xbox card to pay for the dinner.

This looks like an awesome upgrade to Xbox and Microsoft! This will make it great to those especially if they also conveniently have an Xbox One/Series X.

Credit cards have their usefulness, but the whole reward system here will just end up having people spend money to get those points or whatever.

Don't get a CC if you can't maturely handle your finances and then it buries you in debt.

Yknow what... If grocery stores and donut stores can have credit cards, why not.

It'll be perfect for little Timmy to rack up $1,000s in FIFA microtransactions.

It's just Nintendo who's missing of the big three to release their own CC.

As much as I would love to have that from Nintendo, I don't imagine them doing something like that. The only thing that they have is those eShop cards but that's about it.

There were parents that used their child's name to open a CC, use it, never pay it, and then when he/she was old enough to buy a car, the credit score was piss poor so it affected him/her.



Six?

For Playstation user they have the perks of Sony Reward, so they can stack up points earned to redeem like PSN gift card, games, and other stuffs. If Microsoft have an equivalent reward system then it would be nice.
