Get $70 Xbox/Microsoft Gift card w/ Amex Offers: Spend $70 get $15 cash back


What part of that is clear? I put the confusing part in bold text.

If YOU have time to sit there and read every word and symbol in titles in your day, congratulations, many more of us don't have a luxury of time and we just skim through and if something catches our attention then we click on it to learn more. Reading through the first few words it is NOT clear at all. I would wager that there is a large percentage of people skimming through that will see "Get $70 xbox/microsoft gift card..." and that will be enough to get them to click and waste their time.
I updated the post.
You can make your comment that something isn't clear. But this response comes off as incredibly entitled and condescending. If you don't have the luxury of time, then you shouldn't be spending time on a deal website.

I wish you could a good deal on a year of MS 365 Sub but dont think there is one at least for a better price than what appears on SD as a combo from Newegg or Antonline every few months

I had a similar issue. Do you have a Dev account tied to your primary account? I had to register my address with the dev account before it accepted my Amex payment.
