Any Microsoft Cards?

Repairman — Thu, 14 May 2015 02:15:13 GMT

I'm knowledgable of the Apple Rewards card Barclaycard offers, but is there any rewards based cc that would be similiarly useful in purchasing/financing/earning rewards with Microsoft products?

Wow, too bad I don't have a Discover card yet. How long is the Microsoft deal going for? And is this a 1 off thing, or do they regularly feature Microsoft as a bonus category?

Expiration date just says "Ongoing" so I suspect it will be around for a bit... I've never tried using a discover card deal more than once, not sure if it can be used time and time again or not, but someone else might know the answer to that...

Probably best to use an online shopping portal.

For example, Savingstar.com card gives 5% back when you use their portal, and currently the savingstar.com shopping portal for Microsoft store is 3%, giving a total of 8% cash back. but the 3% part can change over time. And thats just one of many possible portal & Credit Card combinations that might have Microsoft Store as a discount option.

Right. Looking at cashbackmonitor,

BeFrugal gives 7% back, so with a 2% card that's 9%

It would be nice if they did - it'd be a nice way to finance a Win10 phone (whenever they're finally released)
