This holiday season saw the first significant sales, deals, and coupons to come to the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive, which were both launched earlier this year. And while the best deals so far may have come and gone, Microsoft is still offering a solid deal.

If you buy the HTC Vive or Oculus Rift, Microsoft will throw in a $100 gift card, which is good for anything in their store—a wide range of electronics, games, and more, from both Microsoft and others. The digital gift card code will be emailed to you within 7 days of your purchase, the company says.

With the HTC Vive you’ll also get the game bundle which includes The Gallery – Episode 1: Call of the Starseed and Zombie Training SimulatorWith the Rift you’ll get a free copy of Lucky’s Tale.

This is an especially good deal for anyone interested in buying Oculus Touch, because you can turn around and buy Touch from the Microsoft Store using the gift card, effectively saving you $100 that you were going to spend anyway.
