Xbox live rewards - Microsoft/ Xbox live credit

o0AlphaTaylor0o · Sep 8, 2017

Hi,

With most of the "missions" or with your VIP status, it states that you have to spend a certain monetary value in order to qualify for a given "mission" or next level of VIP status. I just wanted to know if Xbox live/ Microsoft credit count towards any of
the missions or VIP status or if it has to be from a debit/ credit card?

Many Thanks

:)

buy gold with my referral and receive 5,000 XBL reward credits

If you are thinking about buying gold then do it with my referral as you can get 5,000 XBL reward credits. What do I get? I get 1,000 credits if you buy gold when I refer you.

Xbox Live Reward credits can be deposited into your local currency after you get 1,000. You also get exclusive offers sometimes and can get thing cheaper. There are also offers that will earn you credits like pre-ordering games. more info is here: Xbox Live Rewards

Just to make clear as I know some people get confused this is a referral to buy gold. Not to sign up to xbox live rewards.

Xbox Live rewards is free to sign up to by the way!

If you want to get some credits for XBL Rewards then comment your Xbox Gamertag and I will reply back when the referral is sent!

Xbox One price cut

I just got an email from Xbox Rewards where they'll give $50 worth of Xbox Live credit too.

For most offers it doesn't matter what payment method you use. There is an offer for making your first purchase that is only eligible if you use your Microsoft account balance.

Hello o0AlphaTaylor0o,

Currently, only one offer requires a specific method of payment to complete, which is the First Time Purchase offer. That offer requires you to make your first purchase using your Microsoft Account as the payment method. Otherwise, payment method is not
a factor, although you must make the payment in your Rewards Account's regional currency (GBP).

Hello wolf rageing,

From the FAQ:

What's the difference between Microsoft Rewards points and Xbox Live Rewards Credits and MyVIP Gems?

One Microsoft Rewards point is equal to one Xbox Live Rewards Credit. Microsoft Rewards points can be redeemed whenever you want for the rewards you choose from the Microsoft Rewards catalog, including Microsoft Store digital gift cards. Xbox Live Rewards
Credits are automatically converted to your local currency every two weeks and deposited in your Microsoft account, while MyVIP Gems could be redeemed for items in the MyVIP Vault.

Hello,

From the transition FAQ:

What about my current Xbox Live Rewards Credits and MyVIP Gems balance?

If you have any pending Rewards Credits in your Xbox Live Rewards account on May 31, 2018, or if you are expecting your MyVIP deposit for purchases made in May 2018, Xbox Live Rewards will convert them into your local currency and deposit them in your Microsoft
account by the end of June 2018. You will then have 1 year to spend that currency on digital items from the Microsoft Store.

If Xbox Live Rewards is unable to deposit into your account for some reason, as long as you have not opted out to make the transition to Microsoft Rewards, any undeposited Xbox Live Rewards Credits and unredeemed MyVIP Gems will be automatically converted
to Microsoft Rewards points and be added to your Microsoft Rewards account to redeem for whatever you choose from the Microsoft Rewards catalog. See the next question for when to expect your Rewards Credits and MyVIP Gems if you have opted-out of making the
transition to Microsoft Rewards.

Hello DreameThrower,

The Xbox Live Rewards program and Microsoft Rewards program are completely separate entities. Since you are not a Xbox Live Rewards member, this sounds like a Microsoft Rewards issue. You would have to contact their support via their webpage for assistance.
Since you are not a Xbox Live Rewards member, you have no Credits in our program.

Hello Tolmy King,

Gems will only be converted to local currency if you opt out of the program, as specified in the FAQ:

If I opt-out of Xbox Live Rewards, what happens to my existing Rewards Credits?

Once you opt-out, you will immediately stop earning Xbox Live Rewards Credits. Xbox Live Rewards members who choose to opt-out of the program rather than make the transition to Microsoft Rewards will not forfeit any pending Xbox Live Rewards Credits in
their account. Instead, your remaining Rewards Credits and MyVIP Gems balance will be deposited into your Microsoft account in the form of your local currency. You will then have one (1) year to spend that currency on digital items from the Microsoft Store
or any other successor store.

If we are unable to make this final deposit to your Microsoft account for some reason and you have opted-out of the program, we will follow up with you directly to fulfill your undeposited credits. You can also reach out to us on our support
forum.

As specified in the transition email, Gems are equal to one Reward Point in Microsoft Rewards or one Rewards Credit in Xbox Live Rewards.

Hello Null Logic Nova,

It is no longer possible to change the region of your Xbox Live Rewards account, since we have disabled new user registrations for your region. If you choose not to change your region, your deposits will continue to fail, and your Credits will remain in
your Xbox Live Rewards account. Since these Credits will still be in your account at the time of the transition, these funds will be converted into Microsoft Rewards points:

Since Xbox Live Rewards is ending, your Xbox Live Rewards account will be closed. However, we will transfer over any MyVIP progress you may have had, which are associated with certain benefits in Microsoft Rewards:

What will happen to my MyVIP Star Rank in Microsoft Rewards?

MyVIP Star Ranks are not part of the Microsoft Rewards programme. If you are an Xbox Live Rewards member with a MyVIP Star Rank and you transition to Microsoft Rewards, you will receive special benefits in Microsoft Rewards for a promotional period until
31 December 2018. Click here to learn more.

Note that we are referring to opting out of Xbox Live Rewards. If you opt out of Xbox Live Rewards you will immediately close your account and that information will not be transitioned to Microsoft Rewards, and your pending funds
will be scheduled for a deposit that will occur by the time of the transition to Microsoft Rewards for your region.
