It’s never worked that way. They’ve always sold digital cards that redeemed for specific games. You were literally just showed an Amazon page full of digital games. Just because a Best Buy associate says something doesn’t mean it’s fact. A GameStop employee once told me Nintendo was going to buy Playstation. Sometimes retail employees say stupid things.

I already said that there tons of cards that appear to be for specific games. But, they're actually just XBL credit. While this thread has made me second guess whether *all* cards that appear game specific are just XBL credit, I am 100% certain that some are. I've owned two that I used to get games other than those shown on the card just in the last several months.

Yeah, some XB gift cards and even some Gold 12 month cards have games on them. But these are super rare compared to the amount of actual game cards, which only give you those games when redeemed. They don’t give you $60 to redeem towards RDR2, they literally give you RDR2.
A couple of Madden games, Shadow of War, Division 1, Forza 6, among others, I’ve redeemed plenty on Xbone, they don’t give you credit. Hell, MS doesn’t do physical game bundles, they’re digital codes. The codes are for the games included in the bundle. If you were correct, they’d just be including gift cards that would actually allow you to buy whatever you want.
Sony works the same way on PS4. There are generic gift cards, there are gift cards with games on the front, and cards that redeem specific games or DLC. Now they’ll stop with the specific codes. For many this won’t make a difference, for many it gives them one less avenue for buying games and potentially saving money.
