Microsoft (MSFT) is about to drop a game-changer for hardcore Xbox fans, and it’s a plastic card! Say hello to the Xbox Mastercard, your golden ticket to unlocking epic rewards for your gaming passion on Xbox.com.
Starting September 21, the Xbox Mastercard is set to hit the scene, but it’s exclusively for the chosen few in the Xbox Insider program. This gaming sensation comes to you courtesy of Barclays U.S. Consumer Bank, but hold on to your controllers because there’s a catch – a potentially mind-blowing annual percentage rate (APR) if you don’t play your financial cards right.
Must-Have for Gamers
The Xbox Mastercard is a one-of-a-kind rewards card, launching later this month, designed to turbocharge your gaming journey with points that open doors to epic Xbox adventures.
To snag this gamer’s dream, you need to be a U.S. resident and an Xbox Insider member – and here’s the best part: joining is absolutely FREE! Xbox Insider is your backstage pass to test-drive new Xbox content and have your say through surveys. Simply head over to the Store on your Xbox console, download the Xbox Insider bundle, and dive into the world of exclusivity.
But here’s the kicker: while card applications kick off on September 21, they won’t be available to all Insiders at once. Microsoft plans to roll it out in waves, so get ready to level up your game.
What’s in the Xbox Mastercard Loot Chest?
For die-hard Xbox enthusiasts, the Xbox Mastercard is like having a cheat code for extra value. Just be cautious about those revolving balances because the top-tier APR can soar to a staggering 31.99%. (But if you’ve got a good credit score, you might snag rates as low as 20.99% or 26.99%.)
Prepare for rewards that will make your fellow gamers envious. You’ll rake in 5 points for every dollar spent on eligible products at the Microsoft Store, a solid 3 points per dollar on eligible streaming services, another 3 points per dollar on your favorite dining deliveries like DoorDash or GrubHub, and 1 point per dollar on all your other purchases.

And here’s the ultimate bonus round: as a welcome gift, score a whopping 5,000 points (equivalent to $50) after your first card purchase. Plus, you’ll receive three glorious, FREE months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate if you’re not already in on the action – or gift it to a fellow gamer to spread the love.
But wait, there’s more! You can make it uniquely yours by personalizing the card with your gamertag and choosing from five epic designs.
Not the First in the Arena
The Xbox Mastercard isn’t stepping into the ring alone. Remember the Playstation Credit Card? It made waves a few years back, offering a similar rewards structure for die-hard PlayStation fans. It seems like the console wars have entered the credit card realm, and gamers are the ultimate winners!
