The wacky CDKeys gift card deal returns - get a refurb Xbox Series X or S for less
With the shenanigans of a discount code and CDKeys Microsoft gift card reductions, it's possible to get some bumper discounts on Xbox Series consoles right now.
The principle for redeeming both of these discounts is the same - as opposed to paying for the Series X or Series S by means of a card or PayPal, you can load up Microsoft gift cards onto your account to give you a balance equal to, or as close to the amount of the console's purchase price with the respective discount code, and pay for them that way. However, with the total cost of those discounted gift cards in mind, you're actually paying £319.75, plus the extra £1.99 to make up the balance - that's an Xbox Series X for £321.74. However, if you take the total cost of those gift cards in mind at £157.46, and then add the extra £3.49 on top needed to get to the purchase price of the Series S, it works out that you've spent £160.95.
