Games On Demand - Preorder Punch Card (Games Preordered in December 2016)

Hi there,

Do games that were pre-ordered in 2016 count towards to the Game On Demand Pre-Order Punchcard? It would seem a little unfair if they do not? If they don't......is it viable to cancel the preorder and then place a further re-order.... and is so, would
this then count towards the Pre-Order Punchcard??

Kind regards,

Paul C.

Does purchasing Monster Hunter World Deluxe Ed. count towards Games on Demand Pre-Order Punchcard?

Thinking to purchase the Deluxe edition but don't want to miss out the oppotunity for more points or does only the standard version rewards?

No. In order to qualify the games have to be preordered during the offer period.

Hello pipboy344,

From the FAQ for that offer:

How do I earn Rewards with the Games on Demand Pre-Order Punchcard?

Earn 15,000 Rewards Credits and 5 MyVIP Gems when you pre-order three eligible (see descriptor in next question) Games on Demand titles in the Xbox Store between October 1, 2017 00:00 UTC and December 31, 2017 23:59 UTC. You must pre-order each game before
its shown release date to qualify. Please visit http://www.worldtimeserver.com or another world time database to determine local time.

Since your purchase was not in the indicated offer period, it was not eligible for this offer.

Pre-orders do not count towards VIP so it would not have counted towards your VIP boost. Pre-orders will only count for credits or anything if they are part of a specific offer on the site at the time. So your Halo Wars 2 purchase would have counted towards
your Games on Demand Punchcard. Individual purchases are not shown on your Rewards statement. Only offers you have complete.

Preorders do not count towards VIP. For Honor and Ghost Recon would have counted towards your Games on Demand punchcard, but not your VIP progress.

That's kind of crazy. The requirements for stars are already crazy. Now spending that amount doesn't count towards it because of them being pre-orders?

Hi Notanewb2010. Smwutches is correct. Your pre-order went towards the Games on Demand Pre-Order punchcard. Since the punchcard wasn't completed, you did not get awarded.
