Just recently, we learned that Microsoft had apparently rolled out the ability to redeem gift cards or promotional codes via the Windows Store. This feature obviously is great as it allows one to enter a gift card code to use towards app or game purchases, without having to tie in your Credit Card information.
Now, according to a new screengrab (pictured above) that was sent our way, Windows Store Gift Cards will be available in-store when Windows 8.1 is launched on October 18th. The gift cards will be available in $10, $25, and $50 (USD) increments.
"Windows Store Gift Cards will be seen in-store with the launch of Windows 8.1 and can be used to purchase apps, games, and more. They are an excellent attach opportunity and should be recommended with every Windows device," the screengrab states.
These gift cards can be redeemed to a single Microsoft Account that consumers can use across multiple products, such as Windows Store, Windows Phone Store, and the Xbox Store.
Since this detail comes from unofficial sources and Microsoft has yet to officially reveal a "Windows Store gift card", we are keeping the above information labeled as a rumor. We've reached out to Microsoft and will update you accordingly.
