Can I earn Xbox Rewards points for pre-ordering or purchasing the Xbox One X?

Hello MurdaCityDevil7,

There is currently not any Xbox Live Reward offers that Reward a console purchase.

There are currently no offers to receive credits for purchasing hardware.

Hi MobToOoL,

I am assuming you mean this offer : "Exclusive to Xbox Live Rewards members, you can pre-order your Xbox One or Xbox 360 games through Microsoftstore.com and earn 15,000 Rewards Credits for each pre-orderable game..."

In the
terms and conditions it says you get the points once the games have shipped. They wouldn't give out points before the games shipped in case you tried to cancel your pre-order after receiving the points.

Hope that helps.

Hello gregry2giant,

From the FAQ for the Forza Sweepstakes:

When will I get my Rewards Credits for pre-ordering or ordering the game?



Rewards Credits for pre-ordering or ordering the game will appear as pending in your account within 96 hours of the offer end date.

Regarding other pre-orders, those are not eligible for MyVIP:

What content can I earn a % back on purchases for?

Normally, most purchases for Xbox 360 and Xbox One from the Xbox Store qualify towards your MyVIP Star Rank and % back on purchases, including full Games on Demand titles (excluding game pre-orders), arcade games, indie games, game add-ons, game Season Passes,
movies, TV shows, TV seasons, themes and avatar items. In-game consumables, Xbox Live Gold memberships, subscriptions like EA Access and Xbox Game Pass, Groove Music Passes, Microsoft Movies & TV Season Passes, and the purchase or redemption of Microsoft Points
or Xbox Gift Cards, still do not qualify.

So the only way to earn Credits for their purchase is from any eligible offer listed on the MyMissions page.

Your Elder Scrolls purchase last month was a consumable. Your South Park purchase was a pre-order. Your Destiny 2 purchase was a pre-order, and you Sonic Mania purchase went towards the Summer Spotlight offer. Also as stated in the FAQ, purchases cannot
go towards both offers and MyVIP:

What type of Rewards can I earn?



...

Please note: Xbox Live Rewards members may not earn Rewards Credits for multiple offers based on performing the same action. For example, your purchases made to complete a monthly mission won't also be eligible for your % back on purchases with
your MyVIP Star Rank.



Therefore, none of those purchases qualified for Credits.
