I got bupkis. Maybe I wasn’t playing it right.
I think you can go back and try again later, it doesn’t seem to be one-and-done.
Got this as well. I refreshed the page and could play again, won nothing the second time.
EDIT: Just won a second and third 15% off coupon. Seems you can just keep refreshing the page and play over and over
I’m sure it’s the same coupon code for everyone, so you can’t really win 2 or 3 times.
Yup, looks like it’s the same code over and over
My code looks unique. Here, one of you can use it.
XBOXGAMEPASS15
Looking through the items they’re selling, I was unable to find anything I would want them to send me completely free, including tax and shipping.
Are they not selling controllers there? Including the Elite controller?
EDIT: Oh wow, so “Xbox Gear shop” looks like it only sells clothing and stuff? WTH?
Right, it’s all schlocky merch that I literally would not pick up off the ground completely free.
I suspect 98% of the merchandise sold in that store is to streamers.
I would imagine they get all the merch free in the hopes they’ll wear it on their stream.
You don’t want XBox wall art? How dare you!
So nobody has won anything but those 15% off merchandise coupons? That kind of sucks.
No, but if anyone finds a reusable coupon for a month of game pass, hook us up.
(Somehow I doubt that will happen.)

I think we’ll get through 2021 with the Gamepass price levels staying around the same but I’d expect a bump before Starfield comes out.
My own freebies run out in November this year. I feel I need to add a couple of months to get through Forza Mexico and Halo. For next year I wouldn’t mind trying OW2, Atomic Heart and Somerville but Starfield I would probably buy. I’m coming over to the ‘I want to own my games’ side I think, rather than deal with the vague time pressure that subs instil in me. I’m going the other way from everyone else :)
It’s honestly shocking they haven’t closed the XBL loophole yet.
I think keeping the loophole makes sense as long as they are in the accumulation phase. Once they reach a satisfactory subscriber base they’re happy with, they can go into a retention phase and try to close the loophole, and see how people react.
I bet there’s some way to lessen the loopholes over time, e.g. allowing some freebies but for less and less time somehow.
