Xbox Rewards Credits transfer date (to MS Rewards)

Hello Kixylix,

From the previously available FAQ on Vault Credits:

I claimed Rewards Credits from the vault. When will I receive them?

If you claim Rewards Credits from the MyVIP Vault, they should appear as pending in your account within 96 hours. Once they are pending in your account, the normal deposit process kicks in. Generally if you have over 5,000 Rewards Credits pending in your
account in the first half of any given month, that amount will be converted to your local currency and deposited into your Microsoft account on or around the 30th of that same month. If the Credits show as pending in the second half of the month, that amount
will be deposited into your Microsoft account on or around the 15th of the next month.

Please note you need at least 5,000 Rewards Credits pending to automatically trigger a deposit, though you can request a deposit for the next scheduled date as long as you have 1,000 Credits pending. Also, if you have ongoing issues with us depositing
into your account, such as your account not matching up with your billing location, you might want to consider choosing a different prize from the vault, as we won’t be able to deliver your Rewards Credits until the deposit issue is resolved.

You can review when your Credits were pending, as well as when you had 5000 pending, on the MyStatement on the MyRewards page. You can also see your deposit as currency from the Microsoft Commerce page. Please note that due to the large volume of deposits,
your deposit will occur around the 15th, including up to a few days before or after that date. You can see your deposit on your commerce page on the 17th.

I have both XBox live rewards and Microsoft rewards. Will I still get my XB rewards credits converted into MS rewards points on my existing MS rewards?

You can find more information about what happens with the transition here - https://rewards.microsoft.com/explore/xbox-to-ms-rewards-faq

Any rewards credits you had should have been deposited into your Microsoft account balance as currency (you can verify deposits by checking your returns at http://commerce.microsoft.com). If there is an issues depositing credits into your account, they would
be transferred over to the Microsoft Rewards program as points.

If you had any gems remaining, those would be transferred over to the Microsoft Rewards program as points.

I’m definitely aggravated by this nonsense.

I’ve been a member of Xbox Live Rewards since the beginning. I’ve also been a member of Bing rewards ( Now Microsoft Rewards) since the beginning as well. While I have gotten a lot of great things from both, this transition is a Joke.

A Conversion Rate of of 1 VIP Gem = 1 MS Rewards Credit is a slap in the face. You can make about 700 MS Rewards Credits per day, depending on your account Level and whatnot.

So my 1200+ My VIP Gems that could’ve gotten me $25 worth of rewards, is now going to be reduced to about $1.50 worth of rewards? How in the holy hell does that make sense?!

I wonder if I just decide to not let them add my Xbox Live Rewards stuff to my existing MS Rewards account, that I’ll make out better for it, since they’re supposed to be transferring anyone’s My VIP and all that into Local Currency?

I know MS Rewards very well. That Gem=Credit conversion is a complete, barely laughable joke.

I definitely have to contact MS about this absurd crap. Share my Comment and everyone else’s comments on this topic as much as you can. We gotta wake those lazy idiots up to this issue they’ve created.

Hi there,

Your account points, are they Xbox Rewards credits (rewards.xbox.com), or are the Microsoft Rewards (formerly called Bing Rewards) points?

For Xbox Rewards credits have you requested a deposit already on rewards.xbox.com? Keep in mind deposits are done by the 15th and 30th of the month. If you requested a deposit, did it give you a specific date?

If they are Microsoft Reward points (Bing rewards) Microsoft.com/rewards, you have to redeem them for one of the options though that site.

They are two separate programs with two different redemption options. Microsoft Rewards won't show on Xbox Rewards same as Xbox Rewards credits won't show in your Microsoft Rewards page.
