I assume this applies to everyone everywhere.

Basically, certain actions you do over Xbox LIVE, like renewing a Gold subscription, purchasing various Marketplace content, or partaking in surveys, will net you a set amount of Microsoft Points. The downside is, that they don't get added to your Xbox LIVE account immediately, but rather, they get deposited into your account on the 15th of each month only if you've accumulated 100 points through the Rewards program.

The points earned are tracked by the Rewards site and, by the looks of things, is set to last until June 30 of next year.

I quite like the program. I don't lose anything from it and I've gotten a good 600 points from it. ^^

Microsoft's jumping in on the Club Nintendo bandwagon very late I see. I don't get why you don't get it all immediately though, or why you have to get 100 points for it to be valid. =/

What do you have to do to earn points? I've ignored my 360 for a long time, paying to play online doesn't seem practical.

You take surveys, renew your subscriptions, things like that.

The occasional game they have sometimes earns you free avatar shit. I got a Banshee prop myself...

I like it when people use the word "gay" in any context other than a homosexual one - it only proves that they have the maturity of a five year old, as if their obsession with shooters didn't already do a good job of pointing that out. It's also pretty amusing that he pointed out Skyrim considering the fact that, y'know, it's set in the bloody medival era and doesn't even have muskets, let alone generic modern firearms.

But just for fun, let's play around with his logic a bit.

game - gun = gay
game + gun = -gay
game + gun + Arem = ???

Introducing MyAchievements, a new feature within Xbox LIVE Rewards that, well, rewards you at a greater degree depending on how high your Gamerscore is. There are three tiers: Contender (3,000G - 9,999G), Champion (10,000G - 24,999G) and Legend (25,000G+). At Contender rank, you'll get a little prize from Microsoft valued at US$0.25 every year on your birthday month. Champions get the birthday prize and a 1% rebate on their Marketplace purchases every month. And Legends get the prize and a 2% rebate each month.

That's pretty cool. I'm already a Legend. :D

Unfortunately, they started late in the month of September so I have to wait until next year to get the Birthday gift.

2% sounds kinda lousy for a reward. Why not 10%, like Nintendo's doing with their Wii U Deluxe package?

It rewards the people who pay for lots of DLC and what else, mainly.

So, Xbox Live Rewards was completely redone lately; here are the biggest changes:


  • MP values are now credits, completing different things give you assorted number of credits (i.e., monthly survey earns 250 credits)
  • When a player earns 5,000 credits, they are converted into currency, although if a member earns 1,000, he can manually have them deposited early
  • A new rank in MyAchievements was added: Master, requirement 75,000+ G
  • Rewards for each ranking are simplified: spending $10 earns a member 100 (Champion), 200 (Legend) or 300 (Master) credits
  • New Way To Win: playing new games for 10 hours each earns you 1,000 credits each game
  • 1,000 credits = $1 USD


Preserved from before are the punch cards, only they last more than a month now, and they seem to be focused more on DLC, apps and movies, at least for right now.
