Xbox rewards VIPstars

Hello SugaredYeti420,

In September 2015, we made some refinements to the program. One change that happened was an adjustment of MyVIP purchase thresholds. You were then placed into your new MyVIP rank based on your purchases from September 2014-August 31st 2015, you were placed
at a default rank. You can check your current MyVIP level/progress at (https://rewards.xbox.com/myrewards/). These spending resets occur
annually, and the next such planned reset is scheduled for the end of December, as stated in our sticky.

The Rewards statements won't list purchases you've made. It'll only list offers you've completed. 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. If there are any offers you're looking for credits from, you'll want to post in the support section of this forum in order for support to check into it for you.

how do I improve my vipstar rating? I thought purchases should add to my rating?

It was for xbox rewards though. I redeemed my xbox rewards points for microsoft credit so it is for xbox rewards not microsoft rewards.

I thought it was the other way around that xbox rewards was turning into Microsoft rewards.

Na, what we using here are called "Live" rewards, the other one is called Xbox rewards/Microsoft rewards(what we bout to switch to).

Actually this is the Xbox Live Rewards program. What it is being switched to is Microsoft Rewards. There is no Live Rewards.

What is? If you mean the Rewards program, you're thinking of Microsoft Rewards. That's a different program from the Xbox Rewards program. Xbox Rewards was run by a third party and ran at the same time as the Microsoft Rewards program for a while. Microsoft eventually shut down the Xbox Rewards program and opened the Microsoft Rewards program to more countries.
