ALL CODES GONE! Promotion is fully concluded. There will be no "next week."

GameStop has teamed up with Xbox to give away 45,500 $5 Xbox/MS credit codes every Thursday for the next four weeks. They will post a "treasure hunt" clue on their twitter @GameStop with the hashtag #XBLGoldMineAtGS to help you find a link to claim a code. Official rules at http://bit.ly/XBLGoldMineAtGS. The challenge periods will be run on these Thursdays: 6/19/2014, 6/26/2014, 7/3/2014, and 7/10/2014 from 12:00pm-11:59pm Central, while supplies last.

Note that "Xbox points" are actually just Microsoft currency and thus can be used not only on Xbox downloads but also on the Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 app stores as well as on Xbox Music and Xbox Video stores (formerly Zune), which are also viewable on PC. I'm pretty sure you can't use Microsoft "Points" to pay for purchases from the Microsoft Store website or B&M locations, but feel free to correct me on that matter.

Clues:

Spoiler Well, that's barely a riddle whatsoever. After taking away the blank spaces, the link is http://www.bitly.com/gs-xbox-one

6/26/2014 - All codes gone!

Spoiler It's at the bottom of the Xbox 360 page: http://www.gamestop.com/xbox360

7/3/2014 - All codes gone!

NOTE: Numerous reports of "code has already been redeemed" errors from people who were able to request a code during the first ~10min of this week's promotion, before it was prematurely shutdown. Possibility that a previous week's list of codes were initially being re-distributed, necessitating the aforementioned shutdown before re-opening.

7/10/2014 - All codes gone!

Note: I've hit the max number of Quote boxes within a post, so the following will be presented a little differently.

GameStop @GameStop #XBLGoldMineAtGS If you're experiencing a "maximum number of users" message, please check back after 1 minute and try again.
