    What counts toward VIP star ranking?


    I pre-ordered a game and it counted toward the pre-order punchcard. Will this pre-order amount also count toward the total for obtaining a VIP star rank? If not, can the allocation of that pre-order amount be altered so it goes toward the VIP star rank
    instead of the punchcard?

    :)

    Do preordered games count towards the VIP rank?

    Preorders do not count towards VIP at all. That list is the same for what will count towards your progress.

    Double checking what counts

    There are currently no offers to receive credits for hardware, so the console bundle would not count towards rewards.

    Subscriptions, in-game conumables, and preorders do not count towards VIP. So Halo MCC would count.

    In order to receive credits, your purchases either have to be eligible for a specific offer on the site at the time, or you need at least 1 star level in order to receive VIP rebates. So any purchases that don't count towards other offers on the site would
    still award credits if you are eligible for VIP rebates.

    What counts toward VIP star ranking?

    Subscriptions, in-game consumables, and preorders do not count towards VIP. So it would not be possible to have the preorder count towards your star rank.

    Hello AqueousBeaver,

    Smwutches is correct. From our FAQ:

    What content on the Xbox Store is eligible for MyVIP?

    Normally, most purchases for Xbox 360 and Xbox One from the Xbox Store qualify, including full Games on Demand titles (excluding game pre-orders), arcade games, indie games, game add-ons, game Season Passes, movies, TV shows, TV seasons,
    themes and avatar items. In-game consumables, Xbox Live Gold memberships, Groove Music Passes, Microsoft Movies & TV Season Passes, and the purchase or redemption of Microsoft Points or Xbox Gift Cards, still do not qualify.

    Spend as much as you can to boost your 2017 MyVIP Rank

    Preorders do not count towards VIP. So they could not be moved to count towards your VIP rank.

    MyVIP Star Rank

    VIP ranks are reset each year. They were reset on January 1.

    Preorders do not count towards VIP.

    MyVIP Boost

    Preorders do not count towards VIP. For Honor and Ghost Recon would have counted towards your Games on Demand punchcard, but not your VIP progress.
    That's kind of crazy. The requirements for stars are already crazy. Now spending that amount doesn't count towards it because of them being pre-orders?
