Spend $60 on anything mission

One of this month's missions is spend at least $60 on anything to get 6,000 credits. I want to do this by pre-ordering Middle Earth: Shadow of War Gold Edition. That game comes out in August, and Microsoft says it doesn't charge your card until a few days
before release in case you want to cancel. My question is, since I won't have technically spent the money until several months from now, if I pre-order the game now, does that still count as spending the money required to get the credits? Also, since this
is my first mission I'll be completing so I'm new to all this, is it all account linked so if I meet the requirements on my account that's it or do I have to do something special to activate the offer? And finally, if I can complete that mission and my credits
get deposited, how will it show me that I have credits to spend when I'm browsing the store on my Xbox? Will it show up like an alternate payment option like a gift card or something? I appreciate any assistance.

:)

 

Microsoft Points discontinued?

You'll never spend 30 Microsoft Points. I have 60 and can't find anything to spend them on.

 

Not getting my 6,000 reward credits

it says all you have to do is spend 60$ before March 31 in anything and you get 6,000 rewards credits. I have bought ghost recon wildlands $60 and marvel vs capcom 3 $25

That's $85 so I have gone over the 60 you need to spend why haven't I got my rewards credits for it

 

Support will respond back about the preorder, but generally since your account is linked to the program, you're automatically linked to the offers. I do think that offer in particular has an "activate" button the Missions page of the site though if you want
to click that just in case.

Once credits are deposited into your account, they are converted into currency and added to your Microsoft account balance (like if you add an Xbox gift card). You would choose your Microsoft Account balance as your payment option when making purchases.

 

I got an email with a button to activate the offer so I just now need to know if the preorder will work... thanks Smwutches for telling me how credits work

 

Hello MasterOfWar6615,

Your pending pre-order purchase information should still be sent to us, and should be eligible for this offer. As Smwutches says, this offer (Simply Rewarding) is unique in that you must first opt-in to the offer to be eligible for it. Otherwise, most other
offers that are visible on your MyMissions page are automatically tracking your purchases, and require no special effort on your part like activation.

Our Credit events are first listed as pending on your MyStatement on the MyRewards page. Depending on when the event appears as pending, once you reach 5000 or more pending Credits, they are automatically deposited in either the mid or end of month deposit
cycle (you can manually schedule a deposit at 1000 or more pending Credits). When we deposit, these funds are placed into your Microsoft Account as currency, and will be listed as an additional payment method.

Keep in mind that new activity takes time for us to process, so a new pre-order may not progress this offer until 96 hours after purchase. If you don't see progress for your purchase, open up a new post and let us know!
