    Not getting reward credits for pre-orders and purchases


    Last Thursday I got a promotional email from y'all offering 15,000 credits to my xbox live rewards if I pre-ordered Watchdogs 2. I did this yesterday and don't see it reflected on the rewards site Not getting reward credits for pre-orders and purchases :( I've had this happen in the past, pretty much every game
    I've bought in the last two years has been through the store but I'm not getting credit!

    I haven't paid as close attention as I should because frankly, I find this all confusing, especially as it works with ordering things through the store directly from my xbox. But for this one I followed the link in the email and believe I did everything
    correctly.

    I'm pretty bummed Not getting reward credits for pre-orders and purchases :(

    :)

    Pre-order Bonus Confusion

    I have been told that pre-order bonus do not count as rewards credits. SO if I purchase 2 pre-orders out of 3 in a b onus period, I get no rewards ds credit for that, ever. That doesn't make sense. That penalizes someone who pre-orders games. Please
    explain.

    MyVIP Rewards

    Hello Azn Mans,

    Only Xbox Live Rewards members are eligible for Xbox Live Rewards. Since you are not a member, you are not eligible for any Xbox Live Rewards. On top of that, this purchase would not have awarded any Credits since the only offer that awards Credits for pre-orders
    is the Games on Demand offer, which requires three eligible pre-orders to complete.

    Not getting reward credits for pre-orders and purchases

    There are 2 different offers to receive 15,000 credits, so it depends on which one you're looking for.

    If you preordered the game as a physical disc from microsoftstore.com, the credits will show as pending about 10-15 business days after the game ships.

    If you preordered digitally, you should see a punch added to your Games on Demand punchcard after about 96 hours. You will need to complete that offer in order to receive the credits.

    Hello MzAdventure,

    That offer is only for physical (disc) purchases off of MicrosoftStore.com (the link in the email will also take you to that storefront). Since your purchase was made digitally off the Xbox store, it was not eligible for this offer. As Smwutches says, since
    your purchase was digitally, it would have qualified for the Games on Demand offer, and will appear after the 96 hour processing time as a punch for that punchcard.

    I've bought 2 several games under microsoft store, but they are not under MyVIP and reward points

    Hello vicchow17,

    Purchases from the MicrosoftStore.com are not eligible for MyVIP. The only way to currently get Rewards for those purchases is from our MicrosoftStore.com pre-order offer. That offer awards pre-order purchases with Credits which appear as pending 15 days
    after the shipment date.

    Missing rewards credits and "Keys"

    Hello AmericanM0nster,

    Apologies for the inconvenience. We are currently investigating with another team reports of users not seeing keys being awarded for their purchase. Once we know more, we'll update this thread!

    Regarding your Credits, from the FAQ:

    When will I get my Rewards Credits for pre-ordering or ordering the game?

    Rewards Credits for pre-ordering or ordering the game will appear as pending in your account within 96 hours of the offer end date.

    Since the offer is not yet over, it is too early to see your Credits.

    Reward Points issued instead of Gift Card

    You received the rewards credits because you are a rewards member. While the promotion is running, you will receive those credits instead of the gift card. You can only use the credits to make purchases from the Xbox Live store (digital purchases)

    The offer is only valid on up to 3 pre-orders. So if you've pre-ordered anything else, you will most likely get the credits again. The only way to ensure you won't receive the credits, is to make the purchase using an email address that is not attached to
    your Rewards account.

    For future reference, it's best to post in the Rewards forum for assistance with the program -
