Xbox’s own written documentation has no birthday reward. Microsoft Rewards’ official help pages were checked directly and none currently describes a birthday benefit. A genuine 10% cashback rate through Fluz is the confirmed option instead.
What Xbox Is
Xbox is Microsoft’s gaming console and digital storefront platform, with a points-based loyalty program called Microsoft Rewards (sometimes referred to as Xbox Rewards).
What Was Actually Checked
Four official Microsoft support pages were read directly: “Getting the most out of Microsoft Rewards,” “Learn about Microsoft Rewards,” the “Rewards on Xbox” help topic, and Xbox support’s points-earning article. None of them currently mentions a birthday bonus of any kind.
A Reported Feature Not Yet in Microsoft’s Own Documentation
Multiple gaming outlets, plus an on-record statement from a named Microsoft employee, reported Microsoft launched a “Birthday Gift” feature in April 2026: double Rewards points on eligible Xbox Store purchases during your birthday week, plus a cupcake banner in the Rewards Hub, not stackable with other promotions. That’s a more credible source than a typical roundup blog, since it traces to a direct company statement rather than secondary speculation. Even so, as of this check, five months after the reported launch, it still doesn’t appear in Microsoft’s own permanent help documentation. Treat it as a real reported feature that Microsoft hasn’t formally documented yet, not as something confirmed the way Nintendo’s birthday terms page is.
The Real Route: A Genuine Cashback Rate
Fluz sells Xbox gift cards at a confirmed 10% cashback rate, a real, merchant-specific rate, and the strongest in this batch.
Eligibility and Cost
Microsoft Rewards is free to join. Nothing in its current written help documentation ties a reward to a member’s birthday.
