Xbox Live Rewards don't give you points for purchases

Hello Spacyignignot,

You can earn Xbox Live Rewards Credit in two ways:

1. By finishing the offers located on the MyMissions page at
https://rewards.xbox.com/mymissions/ .

-or-

2. For non-offer purchases, you can earn Credits by earning a one star MyVIP level through purchasing at least $300 USD or regional equivalent of eligible content. After you receive your first star you will begin to earn a percentage of your eligible purchases
back as MyVIP payback Rewards Credit. Pre-orders, in-game consumables, and subscriptions are not eligible for MyVIP.

In September 2014 we changed to the MyVIP policy. As a result, payback based off Gamerscore (MyAchievements) was discontinued. Also, as mentioned in our pinned announcement at the top of the forums titled "HEY
YOU! We've got your answer here." (https://forums.xbox.com/en-US/thread/2f5ffacb-bf1e-4fca-8764-f57f69556e55), we no longer award Credits for Xbox Live Gold renewals
as of July 2014.

MyVIP has a recalibration every year. At the end of the year, we place you in your MyVIP rank for the new year based off your eligible spending from the previous year, and set your progress to the default state. This happened in September 2015 and December
2016. Since you are a zero star member, you do not get payback Credits on your purchases. You can check your current MyVIP level/progress at (https://rewards.xbox.com/myrewards/).

Your Call of Duty purchase did not qualify for any offers. Since you have no MyVIP stars, you did not qualify for MyVIP payback.

Hello ARISTEIA

I logged into the Xbox LIVE Rewards website and my points balance seems wrong. What should I do?

A. First, remember that these are Rewards Points that have been earned through Xbox LIVE Rewards. This total does not include any Microsoft Points that have been purchased under your Xbox LIVE account. Don't worry, you can spend Reward Points just like the
rest of your Microsoft Points.

Secondly, don't forget that Rewards Points are deposited into your Xbox LIVE account twice per month. Check the Rewards Points Pending section of the MyRewards page to make sure you don't have any pending transactions, which will not yet show up in your Total
Rewards Points Awarded. Rewards Points do show in your
Microsoft Billing Points activity area along with points you've purchased or redeemed. You can look for your deposits there as well.

For general program questions check out the Xbox LIVE Rewards forums page.

When you visit the Xbox Live Rewards page you can find a link the FAQ for the transition to Microsoft Rewards. The FAQ indicates that your MyVIP Star Rank will give you bonus Points for your purchases, e.g., 4 Star Rank will give
you 80 bonus points per $1 spent (90 points per dollar total). This will extend through Dec 31, 2018.

If you mean from the Xbox Live Rewards Program then no, it only rewards Microsoft Points which can then be used to use on the Xbox Live Marketplace digital products.

Xbox LIVE Rewards actually gives Reward Points, not Microsoft Points. They function the same save that they do expire.

If you live in the US, UK or Canada you can sign up for the Xbox Live Rewards program which gives points for taking monthly surveys and making other purchases on the Live service.

You can also sign up for the Bing toolbar (which I believe is only available in the US) and can earn points there.

Otherwise, you have to purchase them.
