Never got Xbox Reward points for buying Xbox One. Can I get Microsoft Rewards points instead?

xxSpartan 99xx · Jul 5, 2018

I never got the Xbox Rewards points (or any points, from any of my purchases) from buying my Xbox One X. Now that program is no more, and they're running an offer for 50,000 points if you buy a One X. Is there any way I can get those points in substitution
for never receiving my Xbox Rewards points?

Points for my Xbox 1 s?

I already own an Xbox one s and on the Microsoft rewards app it say I could get 28000 points for buying one but I already own can I still get the points?

The promotion is there to entice new purchases, thus you would only earn the Rewards points if you complete the purchase during a promotional period. In this case, it sounds like you purchased the console prior to the promotion existing, thus I think it's
unlikely you would be credited with the points, unfortunately.

Also, that offer is from the Microsoft Rewards program, not the Xbox Rewards program. For help with the Microsoft Rewards program, you would need to contact their customer
support.

Personally the Microsoft Rewards program works better for me. I don't have to spend money to earn points and can get more than just Xbox currency. I don't buy from Xbox often so it's better for me to be able to redeem points for gold or a game pass instead
of money. I can earn Microsoft points a lot faster than I earn Xbox rewards credits.

From the Microsoft Rewards Migration FAQ: "any unredeemed MyVIP Gems will be converted to Microsoft Rewards points and can be used to redeem rewards from the Microsoft Rewards catalog once your membership is transitioned. One MyVIP Gem will convert to one
Microsoft Rewards point".

If one gem equals one Microsoft Rewards point , and I have 500 Microsoft Points, that's roughly about 50 cents worth, because a $5 gift card is about 5,000 points.

Whereas if I were to redeem them through Xbox Live Rewards, 500 gems would get me 10,000 Rewards credits - if only such a thing were not "out of stock" - how does that work exactly except that Microsoft chooses for it be out of stock, so they force me to either
put up with giving me a tenth of the value or having to buy something useless like Overwatch wallpaper?

Hi there,

If you're a part of the Microsoft rewards program, one of the rewards is xbox credit which you can use to buy games, add-ons etc.

It will take some time, but the rewards are really worth it in the long run.
