Happy Birthday

Anyone know why XBox decides to send a fake cake that one must tweet about just to receive for one's birthday? Is this a joke? Man, that's such a REWARD!!!!!

:)

 

Happy birthday, ez!

Lol! I finally understand this!!

 

Happy Birthday! Microsoft!

I removed anyone on my friends list foolish enough to send me such messages.

 

What are you talking about?

 

I don't want anything from them for my birthday unless they decide to give me a free game which isn't happening. Otherwise I don't want their 20 cents or their fake cake. Am I being ungrateful? Maybe.

 

The birthday gift changed when they changed from MSP to credits you no longer get MSP points and the birthday reward has no monetery value

 

Do you really need to use twitter to get your fake cake?

 

No they email it to you in a PDF format

Xbox Live Rewards

 

It's a gift. Shouldn't matter what it is, or what monetary value it has. It's the thought that counts. Remember, whether it's that sick snowboard you've been eyeing at the shop, or a set of hand-woven woolen green Christmas socks, always smile when you
receive your present, and act like it's just the perfect gift for you right at that moment. Businesses don't often do anything to acknowledge you as a person. The fact that Microsoft acknowledges your birthday is special. I receive a card from my insurance
broker every year for my birthday, and I send them a thank you.

@OP: Happy birthday, by the way.

 

And this is why MS shouldn't do ANYTHING for free for ANYONE. Because there will always be those that don't appreciate it.

 

put it like this

approx. 40.000.000 users

20 MSP for each on there birthday

That works out to approx. - £8500000 in costs which for a business to give away each year aint that bad

 

Hey, Happy Birthday OP.....

Buy yes, people realy should be more greatful that they get a Happy bday from any company, cause normally you don't get didly squat from companies on your bday but a bill. To be honest I think Microsoft is the only company that even remembers my bday. So
as little as it is it's stil a nice thought of them to even do this for members. Man some of my family can't even remember my bday lol.so it's all good...

 

how is sending somebody a picture of folded paper a "personal happy birthday wish"?

a machine, which is set to send me that email at the start of my birthday month, sends me an email, which i print out, spend time constructing it (and failing coz i hate origami), and then have to make a social network account in order to send them this
photo. how is that "personal"?

i feel like ive just run around the block chasing something invisible, nobody even replied to the photo i tweeted.

If they wanted to "personally" wish me a happy birthday.. a simple happy birthday email would have been sufficient.. not asking me to print out stuff and send photos of it... i know i didnt have to, but i was kind of convinced that i would get something
else out of it, even if it wasnt worth anything.
