Microsoft rewards sweepstakes are feeling like a scam

Stang719 · Sep 4, 2020

I've entered sweepstakes that haven't picked winners. CXO, doom eternal one x sweepstakes, and etc. Starting to feel like a scam and hesitant to use points on. If you don't pick a winner then we should get points back. I get covid might keep some of the
sweepstakes from happening but to just pocket the points seems dirty. I spent alot on the CXO sweepstakes for it to get swept under the rug seems borderline scandal.

I just bought a $100 MICROSOFT GIFT CARD and put it towards the purchase of controller[-s] and other accessories.

I spent a couple thousand of points at first on sweepstakes and realized THAT MORE THAN 9 times out of 10 IT IS JUST A WASTE OF TIME AND POINTS.

GIFT CARDS ARE THE SAFER BET EVEN THOUGH IT CAN TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS OR EVEN A YEAR TO SAVE UP FOR THE ONES THAT YOU WANT.

you do win, i have won. its just not likely. id save up my points and get microsoft gift cards for free. get that grind going. remember each one has thousands of entries, you arent the only one.

No i get that part. Not saying its a scam because I don't win but the CXO sweepstakes said a winner will be picked in April. All this time passed then it said there wasn't a winner picked for that sweepstakes. I get they chose to not do that sweepstakes
because of covid and travelling but give back the points for those that entered instead of scrapping and keeping all our points.

Hi jonathanludewig,

It is a game if chance with the sweepstakes and not a scam. With over a million points, surely it would have been better to save and redeem on Microsoft vouchers that could be spent in the store if you were after a new xbox?

With any sweepstake, the odds are likely going to be high as it will always come down to the number of entries. It is not a scam, it just comes down to luck.
