I have a message saying I've accumulated enough points to redeem a $25 gift card but does...

Hi,

as the message said you have enough points for a £25 gift card.

It didn't say that you have a gift card for free ^^

Once you're on that site, click "Redeem" across the top and look for the Xbox gift cards (or any other type of gift care you would like). If you have enough Rewards points, you can select a $25 card (or other denomination) and redeem it.

Go to the redeem section of the site and you can find a gift card you want and use the points you've accumulated to redeem it.

I like to try and accumulate the points, but for the holidays i got some gift cards and then i redeemed for the xbox currency and got some games for nothing basically.

If you have enough Microsoft reward points, then you need to redeem the reward points for Xbox/Microsoft Gift Cards on the redeem page of Microsoft rewards. Then once the gift card codes have been emailed to you, then you can redeem those gift card codes on https://account.microsoft.com/billing/redeem Once you have enough money from the Xbox Gift Cards, you can then purchase Minecraft from the Microsoft Store or Xbox Store (depending on which version you want).
