Microsoft has issued £5 worth of free credit to Xbox Live members to encourage them to play free-to-play strategy game World of Tanks.
The email, pictured above, was sent to select Xbox Live members earlier today and contains a code that can be redeemed to grant £5 credit to the user’s Microsoft account.
But while Microsoft encourages users to spend it on in-game gold for World of Tanks, the credit can actually be spent on whatever you want.
“Start your quest for domination in World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition with £5 to spend towards a Gold Pack Currency Bundle,” reads the email. “Simply redeem the code below to get £5 credited to your Live account to spend in-game.”
Microsoft’s terms and conditions also point out that the credit can be spent on content besides World of Tanks, too.
“Simply login to your Microsoft account and enter your 25-digit number,” continues the email. “Once you redeem your code, the entire value of the card will be transferred to your Microsoft account. You can then use the money in your Microsoft account to purchase games, apps, videos, and music at the Windows Store and select Xbox stores.”
It isn’t clear who is eligible to receive the free credit or whether the promotion is limited to Xbox LIVE Gold members.
World of Tanks launched on Xbox 360 last week and is free-to-play to Xbox LIVE Gold members.
