I never received rewards for being Gold

Except for the refer a friend offer, there are no offers to receive credits for purchasing/renewing gold.

Hi Scorpio. Smwutches is correct. Our renewal offer ended in 2014.

Hi TheJackah!

For the years I've been with Microsoft Rewards (back when it was still called Xbox Rewards), I've always had an active Xbox Live Subscription. Never I was given points by being subscribed. So I'm guessing, it's a no?

edit: I remember there were "punch cards" which had cards for Purchasing Gold, and Purchasing Specific titles. But outside of that, I have never received points just for being subscribed.

In order to receive credits, your purchases either have to be eligible for a specific offer on the site at the time, or you need at least 1 star level in order to receive VIP rebates.

Currently the only offer for preordering games digitally is the Games on Demand punchcard. Battlefield and FIFA are not eligible for that offer. If you preordered them in September, they would have counted towards your VIP rebate (if you qualify) since there
was special offer that month, or Battlefield would have qualified for the Battlefield offer running at the beginning of that month.

The other offer for pre-ordering games is only valid on physical discs pre-ordered from microsoftstore.com.

Hello Holtyyy,

You can earn Xbox Live Rewards Credit in two ways:

1. By finishing the offers located on the MyMissions page at https://rewards.xbox.com/mymissions/ .

-or-

2. By earning a one star MyVIP level through purchasing at least $300 USD or regional equivalent of eligible content. After you receive your first star you will begin to earn a percentage of your eligible purchases back as payback Rewards Credit. Pre-orders, in-game
consumables, and subscriptions are not eligible for MyVIP.

In September 2014 we changed to the MyVIP policy. As a result, payback based off Gamerscore (MyAchievements) was discontinued. In September 2015, we made some refinements to the program. One change that happened was an adjustment of MyVIP purchase thresholds.
If you did not reach any MyVIP ranks with your purchases from September 2014-August 31st 2015, you were placed at a default rank. Since you are a zero star member, you do not get payback Credits on your purchases. You can check your current MyVIP level/progress
at (https://rewards.xbox.com/myrewards/).

We attempted to find an offer that displayed Battlefield 1 and FIFA 17, but neither the MicrosoftStore.com or Games on Demand offer features these games. You may have been thinking about our MyVIP offer in September that made Pre-Orders Eligible for MyVIP.
Since your purchase of FFIA was made that month, it did count for MyVIP progress, but your purchase of Battlefield did not qualify for any offers or MyVIP and so was not Rewarded.
