Getting Rewarded for Achievements?

APK Rolla · Dec 22, 2016

I have been looking through the MyRewards tab on the website and notice that I have made a meager amount of points through getting achievements. I am curious. How am I getting rewarded for achievements? Are the milestones for Recruit through Overlord going
to give me large bonuses towards my rewards credits? I have talked to a few friends and their responses didn't quite make sense. Please let me know how ( or if ) people are getting rewarded for getting achievements in-game? I would like to see something come
from them other than just "bragging rights" and really hope that my time and effort isn't being wasted when I try to go for large a large gamerscore.

:)

Not getting rewarded

You'll want to wait for Reward support's response in the Xbox Rewards Questions forum. Keep in mind that in order to receive credits, they either have to be eligible for a specific offer on the site at the time of purchase or they would be part of your VIP
rebate. Rebates are calculated after the end of the month and given by the 15th of the next month. So if any of those purchases were made in February and did not qualify for another offer, it would be too early to see credits pending for those.

Not getting Rewarded

Hello Uknown17,

From our FAQ:

When will my MyVIP Rewards Credits be deposited into my Microsoft account?

The total Rewards earned will be calculated at the end of each month. Typically you'll receive your MyVIP earnings in your account by the 15th of the following month, though this is subject to the program's current deposit
terms. Be sure to keep an eye on MyStatement on the
MyRewards page to track your progress and watch your Rewards Credits total grow!

We have just calculated MyVIP payback, and those Credits are now pending in your account.

Achievements will only earn credits if they are part of a specific offer on the site. These offers include purchasing a specific type of game and then earning a set number of achievements in that game. Otherwise, you do not receive credits for achievements.

Hello APK Rolla,

Previously, we used to Reward based off of Gamerscore, which is why you may have received conflicting information from your friends saying you should be Rewarded for achievements. However, this practice was discontinued in 2014, and now MyAchievements is
largely used for bragging rights. As Smwutches says, while we do occasionally reward for Achievements, they will usually be a part of a special offer.

The Jimbotron

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.

Hey there,

Could you clarify which rewards you are expecting to receive? Each participant of the Game Pass Goals would receive one reward for each month, so if you have already received a reward for October's Game Pass Goals, you would not receive an additional reward.

We hope this helps!

But it said if you get 2 achievements you get a prize and if you get 4 achievements you get a ultimate prize and if you get 6 achievements you get a ultimate prize and something else

The 9365 is your gamerscore, not Rewards credits. Gamerscore is earned by getting achievements in games. Rewards credits are earned by completing offers in the Rewards program.
