Not getting pre-order rewards

BO2's pre-order works in a wave system. There are 4 different rewards (or set of rewards). When you pre-order, you get the bonuses of the wave that it is currently on and any future wave. Past wave bonuses are lost.



Nuketown 2025 was, I believe, the 2nd wave reward. If you only pre-ordered somewhat recently, then you likely won't get Nuketown.



For example, I pre-ordered during the second wave so I got the map and wave 3 and 4 rewards. However, I pre-ordered too late to get the first reward (poster).



The map was the only real good reward. Everything else was a avatar prop or playercard background. Assuming you choose those things instead of a chance at winning something in a sweepstakes. Which you won't.

You would have to purchase it to get the pre-order rewards.

Hi Porsche Kid 911. The current offers that involve awarding for Pre-Orders is the Games on Demand Pre-Order offer and the Early Bird MyChallenge. For the Games on Demand punchcard, you need to pre-order 3 qualifying titles. You can see what qualifies here: https://rewards.xbox.com/en-US/faq/#faqpreorder_oct17.
For the Early Bird offer, you just need to pre-order any 3 games before release date beginning October 1, 2017. That offer will award Gems.

Virtually every quarter, pre-orders have their own promotion that run and typically reward 15,000 reward points for pre-ordering 3 eligible titles. Unless you are a 5 Star MyVip member and receive the full 10% back then that promotion is worth more than
you would get if you just pre-ordered them at received MyVip % back.

Hello Mindflayer1983,

Pre-orders are not eligible for MyVIP. While there was a special offer in September that allowed pre-orders for MyVIP, your pre-order was instead Rewarded by the Gears of War offer that was running at the time. Since purchases can only be Rewarded once,
you did not receive VIP payback that month as well. Since pre-orders do not qualify for MyVIP, you did not receive progress for your Call of Duty purchase, but you did get a punch on the Games on Demand punchcard.
