The only bad part is MS makes you buy the bundle with extra controller for $549, unless you want the refurbished console only deal for $469
This bundle requirement must have been implemented very recently. Just 2 weeks ago i purchased a series x through them no bundle required. They probably changed to the bundles after realizing everyone was buying through them with discounted gift cards acquired elsewhere

Possibly, but this "trick" has been around since the beginning

Holy $##t you're right, they let you "bundle" a console solo until very recently. Dollar General deal used to always be 20% off this time of year also. Definitely going grey market now.
I bought about $300 worth and bought mine last year this way. I already had a couple hundred in my Microsoft account. Had to spread the purchase at dollar general across 2 cards over the span of a few hours to avoid their fraud detection locking out card sales according to the employee there. I had no problem redeeming 12x $25 cards.

$469 refurbished plus the 15% off with the gift card sounds like a pretty good deal

Yes you can pile them into your MS account. The dollar general by me also had $50 cards at 15% off… less typing codes in.
