Our Verdict
Nothing too exciting here, and a small signup bonus. I guess it could make sense for someone who spends a ton at XBOX/Microsoft for the 5x rewards there.
Will the 5x points for Microsoft purchases include payments for Azure cloud services?
that seems way too good to be true lol, i assume they mean microsoft store
I wouldnt be caught dead using a Barclays credit card. Horrid company.
Ok
Xbox, streaming services and food delivery…. tell me you’re obese without telling me you’re obese.
You’re like the fifth grandparent here to shit on gamers… tell me you want to be downvoted without telling me you want to be downvoted.

Why do you want to see my body, you sicko?
How do I downvote?
I think this card makes sense if it doesn’t need any credit history to open. Like, it would be a pretty good starter card.
Not worth much to someone who already has a credit history though.
This is pretty nice perk since I use a lot of Microsoft products for my work and business and my kids use Xbox subscription.
If you try to use this card at Dell, does it get declined?
What sort of infantile, low value male *still* playing video games as an adult would want be caught with one of these in public?
Tell me you’re a boomer without telling me you’re a boomer
his name is “cuck” lol
I’m still getting asked out by random women even a decade out of college, and I play video games almost every day. Are you one of those people who religious watches football or basketball or any of that other slop?
Regardless, this card looks like crap and Barclays cards are *pure* ass. Almost all completely useless, tiny credit limits, and their website is horrific.
But are they hot women? Could a rowboat support them?

I tune out as soon as someone uses “low value (fe)male” unironically. In your downtime, you better not ever watch movies, TV shows, or other pointless endeavors. I hope you’re always doing something in your free time that really shows how “high value” you are.

Great way to get into your consumers spending to target then even more. Smart move Microsoft.
Wonder is Azure codes in the 5x
