Spending Gems in the Vault is lame and broken.

Snarpon MARK IV · May 7, 2018

Almost all of the rewards to choose from the vault have been sold out for the entire duration of the program. In its last days I finally saw an opportunity to spend my gems on the 5000 rewards points option. I tried to do it and it said that wouldn't work
and directed me to this forum. Amazing.

MyVIP Rewards vault

Hello EdThezy1996,

All the products listed on the vault page are prizes redeemable via spending your MyVIP Gems.

have not received email with codes i bought with gems but it says redeemed on my xbox rewards page

Hello GINNYtheHUSTLER,

The "redeemed" on the Gems statement is just a record of you spending Gems to claim that item from the Vault. It does not track when you actually redeem the code from the redeem.microsoft.com site.

I had the same issue, but I tried again and was able to do it twice. I'll agree that the reward availability is lame though

Just got awarded 500 gems for hitting the Overlord achievement, go to redeem them and the only thing I can use them on is a Smite bundle and Gigantic Rubies,which I dont play either of them. So I've got 778 gems now which were worth up to 15000 reward points
that are now worth 778 Microsoft points. The rewards system was to give something back to the gamers not take it away!

Seems like some people have been cheating in some way to earn a buckload of Gems in some way to spend on everything almost, worth having in the Vault which again has given Microsoft a smack on it´s fingers big time, and made them lose more then they managed
to upkeep. Which again made them lose a huge amount of money, on this whole program.

Anyway, whatever the reason. They should refill the Vault, let people who have actually earned Gems over a longer period of time, choose their rewards of the things they mostly want.

I will be one of those to transfer from Xbox Rewards to Microsoft Rewards when it does come to that point. But I really think that 1 Gem should represent 1 Point, is really ridicolous. 1 Gem worth should rather be something like 5 Pts. Not 1 Point. I understand
the Xbox Rewards Points, those are really no problem being like 100 Points DOES equal 100 Points and done with it. So 1 Reward Point=1 Point. 1 Gemstone=5 Points.

This would be more fair.

Hello AquaTitan544,

You can only spend MyVIP Gems on the in stock items listed on the Vault page.
