Achievement/Rewards

Eskil JEA · Mar 30, 2018

I got the “Legend” Achievement in Halo MCC, and the reward from it hasn’t shown up in Halo 5 Guardians.

We have an awards / achievement system!

So we have the reward and achievement system. Now we need to come up with some ideas on what achievements we should have. What are you guys thinking for forum achievements?

YOLO rewards received reward for Get Stoked with purchase of GTA V. Earned 11 achievements in game but have not received the YOLO Boost your Cred reward (4,000 points) for getting 5 achievements.

Hi there Eskil JEA, thanks for reaching out.

For this specific in-game issue, we recommend creating a post on the official
Halo Waypoint forums so a member of the Halo team can take a closer look into this and help explore your options.

If you're part of Microsoft Rewards, that program sometimes has an event where you can earn Microsoft Rewards Points by getting Achievements. It runs at least once a year for about a month. The event matches your Achievements up to 10,000; one Rewards Point for every Achievement Point. eg get 2,500 more Gamerscore that month and you get 2,500 Rewards Points.

That's pretty well the only time you can get Rewards Points from Achievements.

Hello TatteredTiger7,

From our FAQ:

Can I get rewarded for my Gamerscore and achievements?

We don't currently Reward based solely on Gamerscore or achievements, though some missions do offer Rewards Credits for completing achievements with a particular game and time-period.

Rewards points are not the same as gamerscore. The 37k you see on Xbox is your achievement score. The points on Rewards are gained by completing rewards tasks. The achievement score is just for show. It gets you nothing. Your rewards points are the only ones that can be used to acquire things.

IMO, the reward is the achievements. That is all that it should be. Why be rewarded twice for the same thing.

Microsoft Rewards or Xbox Rewards? The Microsoft Rewards program is separate from the Xbox Rewards program so Xbox Rewards support would not be able to assist if that's what you're referring to.

If you are referring to the Xbox Rewards program, there are generally no offers to receive credits just for achievements. In order to earn credits for achievements, they have to be part of a specific offer on the site at the time. Generally the offers involve
purchasing a specific game that is eligible for the offer and then earning a set number of achievements in that game.

You may also be confusing the previous MyAchievements program with earning credits for achievements. MyAchievements was the previous version of the VIP program which ended September 2014 when the program switched to the current star levels. With MyAchievements
your VIP rebates were based on gamerscore and the rebates were for purchases made in the store, not for earning achievements.
