Xbox Fans Are Noticing Subtle Price Changes For Microsoft Rewards

You already know how much we adore Microsoft Rewards despite some of the drawbacks the service has suffered in recent months, and one of those has arrived this week in the form of some price increases for various Gift Cards.

Over the past 24 hours, Xbox fans have been taking to social media (and the Pure Xbox forums!) to highlight some of these increases, which appear to affect everything from Xbox Gift Cards to Amazon Gift Cards.

It doesn't appear to be a massive jump (just a couple of percent in most places), but it's still an increase!

However, before we get too doom-and-gloom about this, it should be pointed out that Microsoft Rewards prices appear to have actually gone down in certain regions, such as Canada, Australia and Norway.

Here are a couple of examples of those price decreases from the Microsoft Rewards subreddit:

So, while on the surface this might seem like a tactic to make Microsoft Rewards less lucrative for Xbox owners, it seems like Microsoft is simply trying to balance things out a bit more - which isn't great for those of us in some regions!

Anyway, you can head over to the "Redeem" section of the Microsoft Rewards app on your Xbox (as seen in the image above) to see the latest prices for yourself, and hopefully the changes haven't put any major dents in your plans!
