I'm obviously not as skilled in using Google as you are. Can you post an example of how you are better off buying USA gift cards, so a specific deal that you can find on Google and is currently available to buy? The pound is pretty weak against the dollar at the moment so I would imagine the price is not quite as good for USA gift cards as it might have been, but this site is set up for you to show otherwise rather than just make sarcastic comments at people.
Post a better deal and have some heat if you do. I would genuinely like to know where you can get it cheaper right now, as I would consider buying it. Also, do you pay with Paypal and settle for their exchange rate, or do you use a fee-free debit/credit card?

If you're buying digital, just grab from another region.

Reasonable for Amazon, who IME rarely ever discount gift cards/digital credit. Still available cheaper elsewhere if you shop around and are ok with using eBay and buying old points cards or buying larger amounts (typically better discounts can be had on the £25 cards)

Can I use credit to buy Xbox live gold?

From the answers above no, but cdkeys often have a discount for live.

No Google is not. I searched and didn't find anything. People who love to talk about how they can find a better deal but have no links to backup their claim are just talking out of their bum. If you redeem a $20 card you don't get £20 either, so the whole needle-in-haystack search to save 20p is an absolute joke. Most people ordering in foreign currency will also have to pay non-sterling fees.

Heat for this genuine bonafide proven legit-as-is deal that actually works and everyone can see.

Utter nonsense. I save at least £15 on any new title. Learn how to use google properly. And of course you don't get £20 for a $20 card!

The purpose of this website is not to promote Google or any other site, it's to post and inform others of deals SO THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY GET THEM TOO! This isn't a bragging website.
I don't understand why people come here with their scenarios like "oh my dads friends missus is married to a guy in a foreign country who gets his shopping tax-free and goes to a cash n carry buying in bulk by the hundreds, therefore I usually get it 30% of the normal price. If you go to Google, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram you can work out how to do it to"...
Anything you buy anywhere is probably somewhere else slightly cheaper. The point of this site is so that its users don't have to do the legwork.

Bargain, golds just run out and saw a dashboard offer for about £31 I think puts that at about £28 in theory with 2 of these. Heat.

Unless you can't buy gold with vouchers on account...which seems dumb if not.

Wow... i know the internet is known for trolls and anonymity but that doesn't in my mind excuse the RUDENESS and complaints that someone wrote a comment you didn't fully understand, ever occur to any of you it's against the rules to post sites not approved by hotukdeals? but carry having a go at strangers, i'll help you because for some reason that's beyond me i like helping people.
ChrisUK has written one of the best guides on how to buy games from other countries on your xbox one, yes you can buy cheap usd cards online and use them but i find it saves alot more money this way if you can be bothered with the initial set up, personally i have over 150 games and have just filled a 2tb HD and the 500gb internal and i've easily saved thousands.
Also electronics first quite often have cheap prices

There are sites that sell credit as well. I used G2A the other day to purchase 750 Russian rubles to purchase 'Inside' this equates to around £8. On the UK store Inside costs £15.99! For a little bit of research there are big savings to be had.

Thank you, that is actually quite helpful. When the guy was going on about USD gift cards, as I didn't know about the above process then I thought he was suggesting that you buy in USD because of an exchange rate advantage, of which there currently isn't one. Also, the whole "Google is your friend" and "chief" stuff just makes you sound arrogant when you could just post a link to the relevant hukd threads that others have. No wonder people found it irritating, they don't deserve to be called a numpty etc.
The trouble is, the whole reason I found this deal in the first place was because I buying the gift card as a present for my dad. I don't think he'd be in to setting up foreign accounts and taking out a pre-loaded currency card just to play Farming Simulator. I might consider it for myself the next time I want to buy something. But the short answer is; no, you cannot link to a deal where you can buy this item for less. So thanks for clarifying.

Wasn't me stating use google or using the term 'chief' i just posted the info to help. As for calling the other guy a numpty, well he went off on a rant thinking he knew best, so i was unsure whether or not to help him because of his attitude!
As for buying as a gift for your dad, you could set up game sharing. Buy it on your account & it would then be available for him to download also. Hence you get the game cheaper & you both get the game!!

Thanks OP. Got the Wuaki £25 for £18 the other day, the £25 for £20 paypal and now this. Now I can pre-order the Ultimate edition Forza Horizon 3 for PC/Xbox One!

Sorry, I didn't mean to imply you had said it, I meant the wider "you". You've actually been reasonable and helpful. Thanks.
On a separate note, I'd just also like to brag that I do have a Makro card, and enjoy regular savings on bulk purchases of toilet roll. I don't cryptically patronise people in a deal thread about an Andrex 9-pack from The Co-Op. And yes, sounding like Alan Partridge was intentional. I hope.

Then you will see why he is saying buy USA credit, because most games are considerably cheaper in the USA hence saving you money!
Example - Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon®wildlands - Gold Edition - UK £87.99 - USA £69.64
Halo Wars 2 - UK £49.74 - USA £41.78
You could buy credit for other regions & save even more, but USA credit is much more widely available & easier to purchase.
