+11 Deal Score

Check your Amex offers, I had a spend $70 get $15 back offer for Microsoft.com. Based on what I am seeing, the terms don't have anything against purchasing a gift card with the offer.

YMMV - Offers are specific to accounts.

Eligibility and Enrollment
Enrollment is limited. Eligible Card Members must first add offer to Card and then use same Card for qualifying spend. Only US-issued American Express® Cards are eligible.
Limit of 1 statement credit per eligible Card Member account. If the Card Account is canceled or past due, it may not qualify to receive the statement credit(s).
Qualifying Purchases

Offer valid online only at US website microsoft.com/en-us and through the Microsoft Store app. Excludes B2B services, AppSource, Azure, and Azure Marketplace. Not valid on purchases shipped outside of the US. See merchant website for shipping policy. Some merchants may not ship to all areas. Eligible subscriptions or memberships will automatically renew unless you cancel, and the merchant will charge the applicable fee to the Card they have on file. If you receive a free trial, charges may not post to your account until the trial has lapsed. Charges must post to your account by 12/31/2025 in order to qualify. Offer valid only on purchases made in US dollars.

Offer only valid on purchases made directly with the merchant. Offer not valid on purchases made using third parties, such as resellers, delivery services, or other intermediaries.
Statement Credit

Please allow 90-days after 12/31/2025 for the statement credit(s) to be posted to the Account, provided that American Express receives information from the merchant about your qualifying purchase.

There's a new PayPal offer for 15% back too. I used the 20% back offer last week and the 15% showed up last night.

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.
