Bonus Entries for Freedom Play-A-Thon

Hi there Xbox Live Rewards,

First off, I would like to thank you guys for responding to my other questions so quickly and accurately. You guys might catch some flack from other gamers but I understand how hard you guys work to fix any issues when they pop up. So keep up the great work
guys and know that you have a very satisfied customer in me!

Now since all that mushy stuff is out of the way, after all it's almost Valentine's Day again, I can get down to the nitty-gritty about my question. I've been playing my heart out, even suffering from the Flu, during the Freedom Play-A-Thon Promotion. Currently
I have 92 entries with my goal of 80 hours of playtime complete for a total of 80 entries, 10 registry entries, and 2 bonus round entries. I'm still powering forward to get as much playtime in before the end of promotion date of February 12th. When the term
"BONUS ROUND," is singular in it's meaning, does that mean that you can't earn any more entries once the bonus round is used? Or does the entries earned after the bonus round is complete, still reflect in the total?

I know that 90 entries is the maximum number of entries that counts towards the grand prize drawing, but when I was reading some of the other questions concerning the Freedom Play-A-Thon Promotion I noticed someone say that they had like 720 bonus entries.
So for my very last and certainly not least question, does that mean that I should keep up playing hard to rack up those bonus entries, or if my total amount of entries is going to stay at 92, should I take a breather and cross my fingers for a positive outcome?

Thanks again for all your hard work and dedication in making Xbox Live Rewards so great,

How can I check to see what my final total for entries was the link is invalid now, so I never got to see how far over 20hrs I managed to get?

 

I would just like to point out one last thing,

Well as the saying goes "Flattery doesn't get you anywhere," I didn't write all those nice remarks just to try to get an upper hand in the contest, I really meant every word I said. No matter what the outcome is, I'm still going to be a Loyal Xbox Gamer
for as long as I live!

 

Hello Max Thrasher,

Using the FAQ as a point of reference:

How does the FREEdom Play-A-Thon work?



The FREEdom Play-A-Thon lets eligible members rack up chances to win for registering and playing Free to Play games during the sweepstakes duration. For more information on qualifying games, please see Question 3. Here’s how it works:

1. Sign in to your Xbox Live Rewards account and register for the sweepstakes to get your first 10 entries. This is an important step, as we won’t be able to give you entries for playtime until you register for the sweepstakes.
   
2. Get your game on! You’ll earn 1 entry for every 3 minutes you play Free to Play games before February 12 — and if you reach your personal Play-A-Thon Goal of 4 hours, you’ll activate
   the bonus round, and will earn entries at TWICE the rate.
3. Come back often to track your progress! Please note it can take up to 96 hours (4 days) for your gameplay to show up, but don’t worry, we’re counting it all!
   
4. See how many entries you can rack up! We’re giving away over $500,000 worth of SWEET prizes, including a Grand Prize Gaming Suite (ARV: $3,713)!
   

Please be advised that entries for the Grand Prize drawing are limited to 90 per entrant. However, you can earn an unlimited amount of entries for the Xbox Gift Card drawing. See the Official
Rules for more information, including alternate method of entry.



Essentially, the "BONUS ROUND" is just a counter for all your entries you accrue that go over the 90 entry cap for the Grand Prize. While the entries you earn will not go towards the Grand Prize after you hit 90, you will still earn entries that will go
towards the Gift Card drawing.

The more bonus entries you have, the more entries you'll have in the Gift Card drawing, so that extra playtime you have once you go over 90 entries won't go to waste. If you keep playing the free to play games that you would normally play, you'll keep racking
up the entries!
