Paid for pre-orders on punch card

Hi WAKONDA. The current Games on Demand punchcard started on October 1. The three games would need to be pre-ordered between October 1-December 31 to qualify. Wolfenstein is the only purchase that qualified.

When making a pre order with a card, payment isn't taken at the time only a week (or so) before the games release. With a pre paid card there is no guarantee the money loaded on to the account will still be available when payment is due, so this is likely
a reason they don't allow pre orders with our paid cards.

As other have mentioned, use the pre paid card to buy Xbox pre paid credit to last in to your account to make the pre order.

It would be nice if they included pre-orders. At least lately, they moved up the dates for punch cards.

Yeah, it kinda sucks, but that's how it is. The rewards punch cards are to get people to try games they might not have otherwise. It's a promotion between Microsoft and the company for whos game it is. The same situation applies on purchasing games
vs pre-ordering. If you pre-order and a punch card comes out, it's ineligible to earn that punch card. Sucks because I do love earning the points but I realize that it's to incite those that wouldn't otherwise buy the product, and not reward those that are
already on board.

You'll want to post in the Xbox Rewards Questions forum in order for support to check into it for you. Keep in mind that if any of the games were preordered before the offer began on October 1, they would not count.
