Sunday Deal Rumor: Get 3200 MSFT points for $20

If this is true, I'm buying at least for of them :)

Real credit should go to speedy1961 over at CAG (http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forums/showthread.php?t=145407) who had this deal posted 6 days ago. I hate it when that guy doesn't get credited with news by sites like "GameRush". Speedy was also the one to break the PS3 price drop. He gets these deals WAY early.

It ain't a rumor: it's happening.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Circuit City have a disclaimer attached that excludes Points from this deal, but for the sake of 360 Fanboys everywhere I hope I am wrong!!!

Fingers crossed!

awesome! too bad this is only in the US.

I'll buy four... as long as its not a mail in rebate - I frickin' HATE those. Though, there is a bit of joy when I get random a check 6 months later... until I have to go to the bank and deposit a whopping $20.

Man I hope this is true.

And man o MAN I hope that they don't exclude point cards from the offer!!!!

Keep us updated, X3F! I don't always go through all the sunday ads, but I come here everyday. I'm depending on you to stay in the know!

Does anybody know if CC sells Live Gold cards? This might be a good time to stock up on those as well.

If this is true i might pick up 6400 points for 40 dollars.

Holy Microsoft Points Batman!

X3F, please keep us up to date on this deal of the summer!

Does this count with games as well?

FTW! Please X3F, keep us updated if this offer is going to happen. :)

i'll be snagging 3200 points if this is true

3200 points ftw! yup. :D

Wow, even more so than an achievment whore, I am an Arcade whore. Will this deal be up and running on Sunday at open? All Branches?

Anyone think Best Buy would honor this deal because their competitors are offering the same deal? I've got a gift card there...

Circuit City also has the 4000 point cards...8000 points for $50. Not bad at all. :D

"Circuit City also has the 4000 point cards...8000 points for $50."

Holy crap! Here in Finland (Europe) lowest price for points is 2000 points for frikkin' 24€ ($32), so 8000 points costs here $130. Awesome.. ._. I hate Europe.

It's not $50 for 8000 points its $20 for 3200 points

The deal that is gonna start Sunday is
Buy 2 Accessories $19.99+ and get $20 off

So buy 2 $19.99 1600 Point Cards for $19.98+Tax

If you were gonna do the 4000 point cards it would be
$49.99 x 2 = $99.98 - $20 = $79.98 + Tax

8000 points for about $80 is okay but not as great as the 3200 points for $20

Tip: Go to your CC on Saturday and hide as many cards as you want, just in case they sell out before you can get them on Sunday.

Is the HD DVD an accessory?

Try this for 2 friends.

2 HD DVD's 179x2 is 358..then save $20 and use the CC $40 coupon and get 2 HD DVD's for $298 or $149 each... just wait till Aug 1 to get 5 more free movies.

I just picked up the early Sun. ed. newspaper and on page 22 of the CC ad has the deal "save $20 w/ the purchase of any 2 xbox live accessories 19.99 & up" under that it has the 12 month xbox live card, then 19.99 for xbox 1600 pts card, web id:882224092098, and then wired headset; So it seems that it is true. Ill see if I can upload a scan

buy 2 1600 points then comeback and buy 2 more xD Circuit City FTW 4800 points for 40$

Jeffrey,
That would be 1600 x 4 = 6400
= $40 for 6400 ms points ;)

Dustin, you should credit speedy for this, he's the one that posted this deal first.

or combine the 2 cards with the hd dvd to save more money

Wait till aug 1st for 5 free movie...but

HD DVD add on + 2 1600pt cards with 6 free movies for $159

$179 + $20 then use the $40 CC coupon to get $159

you can read about the $40 coupon on deal sites

Could I just buy all the cards I want in one trip and get the discount for each pair of cards or do I need to make separate trips?

This *IS* true - I got mine this morning. I got the ONLY FOUR cards in the store. Score!

Just make sure you take the flyer to the register when you go to purchase. At first, they rang up at the regular price, but when I showed the flyer to the cashier, she got the manager. The manager actually had to go talk to someone also. He said he would give me the deal today, but this wouldn't work in the future, because they consider purchasing more than 3 of the same item as a "bulk" purchase, and you can only do that online.

Be firm, but polite, with them and you'll get it.

Aaaargh! I'm pretty damn frustrated by this at this point. I went to CC on Sunday, they were out, went to BB, they wouldn't price match "Bundles". Called another BB, same line, called BB corporate, same line. Called CC and asked when they expected more, got "Oh, we get a truck every day and we never know what's on it," which I'm pretty sure means "I'm too lazy to find out."

Called a CompUSA, they said they'd price match, went to the store, they said "Oh wait, since CC didn't have them in stock we can't price match" -- big waste of my damn lunch break. Stopped in to WalMart, they said if it was a price difference they'd match, but since it's buy-one, get-one (more or less) they couldn't match it. I have not had a great experience with this deal.


Anyway, my last ditch will probably be to go badger a CC manager to try to get him to special order them at the sale price, but given past experience I don't expect too much.

Did anyone ever get any of these? It's funny- the 4000 point cards were in plentiful supply (and were even restocked during the week) but the 1600 point cards were never seen at the 3 stores in my area. I smell bait and switch advertising, and potential class action lawsuit.

Sent a particularly nasty email to Circuit City today threatening a class action lawsuit over this crap. I mean, they won't even issue rainchecks. Screw that noise, now I want 'em for free.

Three stores in my area, and not a damn one ever had ANY cards this entire week. And I know both from calling, wasting gas visiting the places, and from the sales staff themselves. Yet, amazingly enough, they had plenty of the $50 4000 point cards, which even got restocked during the week. No, that's not illegal or anything.
