ALL MICROSOFT POINTS HAVE BEEN SENT OUT | Dream Car Challenge | No Begging/Trading

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

http://www.dreamcarchallenge.com/main/Default.aspx#

I don't know if this has been pointed out yet or not but, if you log-in and submit a car, and then rate a car you will earn Microsoft Points each. So that will give you 100 Microsoft points a day. You can only get 100 per day, so just continue to do this daily and you will rack up the points. I believe that you receive your points in an e-mail after the promotion ends.

*Note that it might say you have earned 200 from the promo the first time you do it because 100 of that was just for submitting your first car and registering. Sorry if this has been posted before.

*Rumor, you can only get a max of 2,000 points, so get your spare e-mails handy if you're greedy.

[rusty]

so you can use your account again to get more points? sounds like they may be trying to catch ppl who did it already....

i'll pass, i got 1200 anyways!

[hoho-jijo]

Nice. I will put my photoshop skills to some good use.

[smellhasreturned]

oh I see

[Greendomo]

*Edit* Nevermind...

[VioletArrows]

You can register either at the top of the page where it says log in, or after you've designed your first car.

[SeanAmI]

What exactly are you suppose to do? I rated another car and submitted another and did not recieve another email with points.

[kennistond]

It's telling me I've already earned the maximum for this contest.

EDIT: VQKQ9-8PVG6-X8CRC-8DV6Y-QQY8W is the code if you want it.

[m0rningbreakfast]

Looks like they're blocking on the Gamertag level as I've used a fresh gmail account and reached the same limit restriction.

Kudos to Microsoft by implementing this now, which they should've done in the first place or maybe by IP.

[SeanAmI]

OK, I figured it out. You wont get the points until the end of the promotion

FAQ said:
Q. How will I receive the remaining Points I have accumulated during the promotion?
A. At the end of the promotion, you will receive an email with a coupon code(s) for the total amount of points accumulated during the promotion that you can deposit into your Microsoft Points account. To deposit these Points coupons, follow the steps 3 & 4 above. Go to the Microsoft Points website http://points.microsoft.com and select “Redeem a Microsoft Points prepaid or promotional code” link. You will be asked to sign in with your Windows Live ID.

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

For those of you who don't know, this a part of a promotion that got raided.

[pajamahead]

thank op, glad to hear it is still alive.

[Metalic]

I have 10 E-mails ready for this to be abused to the max. 20,000 here i come.

Im not using the points entirely for myself, Just had to type that, Will be sharing a big chunk of it :)

[bow zon0]

its only one code per account lol i found out after i did 25

You'll be sharing pretty much all of it since you can only redeem one code per account.

[Metalic]

its only one code per account lol i found out after i did 25

1. 2,000 per account at the end of the promotion,

2. Make 10 Gamertags + Live ID's

3. SUCCESS!?


You'll be sharing pretty much all of it since you can only redeem one code per account.


10,000 of it yes. But ^ look above. While i am still being greedy as hell i could easily go for 20 or 30. i gotta have some friends to play those games with afterall so sharing is a must!


Edit: Most content bought is linked to the 360 and not the gamertag.

[striker199]

tag for later

[killer9]

kewl

[Crazyglitcher]

....it's not a "rumor"....it was in the freaking rules. Although noone bothered to read them or the posts made by numerous others on this forum, the rules page said that the max any one person could get was 2,000 and you get 50 points per car rated (100 max a day), and 100 for creating a new ride. You get the points on September the 19th I believe.

[archangelreb]

. What are Microsoft Points and how can I receive them through my participation in this Promotion?
Microsoft Points are points is a micro-payment system that works across multiple marketplaces such as Zune, Xbox live or Windows Live gallery to buy goods and services (for additional information on Microsoft Points, please go to: http//points.microsoft.com or http://pointsbiz.microsoft.com.

Points cannot be gained via a participant’s Xbox console or Zune client. Additionally, users must have or create a Windows Live ID in order to utilize Microsoft Points.

[SeanAmI]

If anyone just wants 100 points for there account do it yourself!!
It takes 30 seconds.

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

Seriously, its not that hard.

[dg7md]

While I did take part in "abuse" of this promotion last time, I am glad to see that apparently it is restricting the amount of codes you can put in per Live account -- is this right?

[life.exe]

While I did take part in "abuse" of this promotion last time, I am glad to see that apparently it is restricting the amount of codes you can put in per Live account -- is this right?

Yeah, one code per account.

[SeanAmI]

Yeah, one code per account.
Unless you keep doing it as the op said in which case you can get up to 2,000pts for one account in september.

[Afrocious]

I forgot this board existed.

But yeah, I used the email/clear cookies trick and got a bunch of codes, but only can only submit 100 points to my Live account. I'm going to put in another code tomorrow to see if it'll take it.

[ZForce]

So if I get this right, I can get 100 points just for signing up (which I got already) Then each day, I can submit another car and also rate someone else's car to get 100 and 50 points respectively which will be given to me in September?

[Jesus_S_Preston]

I got 100 for my Gamertag, 100 for my "adult" account (which I use for M-rated demos), and 100 for the new Gamertag I'm setting up next week for the Too Human demo (need that free month of gold).

You're reminding how much it's a pain in the ass to say you're under 18 when signing up for Xbox Live. So much trouble just to get that DMC4 demo:bomb:

[danked]

thanks man it worked great

[XxFuRy2Xx]

I like the free points, but this site friggin' chugs on my computer.

[MIX_MASTER_ICE]

I think you can only redeem 1 code per day per account.

[Strider Turbulence]

How do you get the points display message for your account like the OP has in his jpeg image?

[rabbitt]

Does this mean I can "store" codes and redeem one a day?

[kennistond]

I just tried redeeming my first code of my second day and it doesn't work.

[cin84_12]

So when do we receive the codes?

[greyzieoriental]

cant seem to get any points, if i rate or create

[Malik112099]

[Protolisk]

ok I've used it.

Thx

[Friend of Sonic]

Forget greed! I'm very happy if the max is indeed 2,000 points.
Thanks for the heads up, OP.

[Monsta Mack]

I've received the intial points for creating my account, when I do I get the others from voting on and creating cars?

Edit: Nevermind I see now. You get the code at the end of the promotion for the accumulated points... lame. Hope Megaman isn't out before then.

[MightyHealthy]

Forget greed! I'm very happy if the max is indeed 2,000 points.
Thanks for the heads up, OP.:applause:

[flameo2000]

Thanks, I found out about this about 10 seconds to late before.

I'm exactly 71 points shy of getting the new halo maps (had a free zune song download card worth 79 points plus some other odd remainders) and just trying to get that 100 :D

[KillJoi99]

It took me a while to get it, so heres what Ive gotten for all those that are lost.

-You get 100 points for signing up which is emailed to you immediately.
-You can get a max of 100 per day(50 for making a car, 50 for rating one) If they dont appear immediately just log out then back in.
-These points will be emailed to you when the contest is over in September
-You can earn a MAX of 2,000 per email/Gamertag
-In order to exploit this, just make more email addys and silver accounts, so you will have 2K points on each account

[crunchberries]

If you're still short on points, I've got a spare code I can PM you.

[xbox lives on]

[Moose_Man]

Cool. Took like 5 minutes to do, and 220,000KB in my process list to complete lol, but It was worth 100 points.

what do you mean "If they dont appear immediately just log out then back in."
are you talking about checking your points? or looking at the cars?

[Strider Turbulence]

I don't even see a log in tab on my screen, anyone know if there is a link to it or something?

[flameo2000]

Do you need to enter the points through xbox.com?

I finally got my 100, and re-entered the code 3 times....nothing!

Sooo close to those maps too....

[KingofOldSchool]

Okay so let me get this straight.

I tried to enter more than one promo code, but after the first one I got a message saying that I've met the max number of coupons allowed for this promotion.

So does that mean that once the promotion ends, I can enter the rest of the codes I've gotten?

[j1mb07]

No, because you can only enter one code per gamertag for registering there. The other codes you get for registering with different emails will only work on other gamertags.

[DiscoDuck8k]

I'm a little skeptical about whether or not any of us will get our points at the end, but who knows.

[Metalic]

Yea i dont think there going to be able to honor everyones points unless MS throws more points into this contest

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Even if they don't, so what? It takes 10 seconds to make a car and rate a car each day. If we do get the points, awesome, but if not, you don't lose out on anything.

[vgmben]

i didn't get a code 8( i got the email but there is no code

[SCUD4LIFE]

Thanks OP for the heads up. These points should come in handy for rockband 2's release.

[Yo_Soy_Legendo]

Even if they don't, so what? It takes 10 seconds to make a car and rate a car each day. If we do get the points, awesome, but if not, you don't lose out on anything. Exactly. It is worth a shot.

AAAGH

I haven't been able to log on using my Live ID since Febuary 2007, and whenever I call for support they never fix it!:bomb:

Bah, I'll find another way to get the 70 odd points. I REFUSE to pay $20 for something less then $1

[KillJoi99]

what do you mean "If they dont appear immediately just log out then back in."
are you talking about checking your points? or looking at the cars?

Your point balance in that top blue drop down bar. At least for me, they didnt show up immediately, I rated about 4 or 5 cars and they 50 points for that didnt appear until I loged out and then back in.

tried to top two, both seemed to have been used

[Jimbo Slice]

Just started this today, just trying to get 2000 points, not interested in exploiting it

The showroom is ridicilous though, just the plain default red cars for everyone. At least put a little effort into it :(

[guyver2077]

when i log in it says i have 200 points.. how do you actually redeem and get a code?

[heathdud]

The codes willbe emailed Sept 19 according to the site

[Lord_Kefka]

when i log in it says i have 200 points.. how do you actually redeem and get a code?

Read back in the thread. Recap!

-100 points will be emailed to the account you registered with the first day. Take that code to http://points.microsoft.com and redeem.

-Gather up the rest of your points over the next month, but they won't be emailed out until Sept 19th.

So I'm going to spend the points I have and look forward to this influx later.

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

Guys, you do know that they have over....damnit I forgot, but it was a huge number of Microsoft Points, trust me, they won't run out, and if they do? Guess what? They can just generate more numbers.

[becuzimbrown]

But, you can only get 100 points per xbox live account right?

Unless there's a way around that.

[SoulReaver]

Seems like a good deal, free pts ftw

[striker199]

But, you can only get 100 points per xbox live account right?

Unless there's a way around that.

I thought it was supposed to max at 2000? I used one code, but now when I use another one it says I'm maxed for my account....after one only

[becuzimbrown]

I thought it was supposed to max at 2000? I used one code, but now when I use another one it says I'm maxed for my account....after one only

They fixed it. You can only have 100 points.

[Strider Turbulence]

People........You get 100 points for signing up. Rating and creating a new car everyday earns you more points. You can earn a max of 2000 points WHICH WILL BE E-MAILED TO YOU AT LATER DATE.

[SeanAmI]

This is correct and has been stated numerous times.
You would think people could skim a 4 page thread and see that we have already said this several times.
PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN TO READ!

[heathdud]

Reading is overrated

[Crazyglitcher]

Guys, you do know that they have over....damnit I forgot, but it was a huge number of Microsoft Points, trust me, they won't run out, and if they do? Guess what? They can just generate more numbers.

lol what's funny is that they DID run out of points when this first started. Like in 4 hours too. Too many people many fake accounts to get the points. Thank god they fixed it.

[FoxHoundADAM]

Everyone, here is what you should do:
1) Register, you get 100 points right way via email for this (you can only redeem the "registration" points once per account)
2) Make two cars a day (50 points each = 100 points
3) Rate one other car that day (another 50 points)
4) Repeat daily.
5) On or around Sept. 19th you will be sent the remainder of the points via an email with a code.
6) PROFIT...via digital entertainment items.

[Garon]

Well I signed up, created a car, rated 2 cars, and have 0 microsoft points.

[FoxHoundADAM]

Well I signed up, created a car, rated 2 cars, and have 0 microsoft points.
Don't worry, sometimes it takes a while for it to add the points.

[orbit18]

september is a long way off :( i have 350 points

[as50193]

do you vote for a car by rating it? Because I rated and made a car yesterday and still only got 50 points.

[SCUD4LIFE]

Try logging put and then back in. Thats how i see my updated points.

[FoxHoundADAM]

do you vote for a car by rating it? Because I rated and made a car yesterday and still only got 50 points.
Yeah, sorry. It takes a while but you will get 50 points per day by rating a car.

[xbox lives on]

1) Register, you get 100 points right way via email for this (you can only redeem the "registration" points once per account)

It only allows me to make 1 car a day. when I tried to make a second one just now it said...

"We've already recorded a car submission for you today. Don't worry, you can submit one additional car daily during the promotion. Come back for another spin in the design studio tomorrow!"

[tokitoki50]

Yeah, it looks like you can make only 1 car now. Oh well, you can still hit that 2k in points pretty easily before sept. whatever. Once this account fills I'll probably have enough time to do a second and maybe even a third before the promotion ends.

[becuzimbrown]

Not 2k points per email?

Sure. But my two room mates have silver accounts. More Rock band songs for all of us.

They finally emailed me a code 2 weeks after the fact, but I already received one from someone else. PM me if you want it. Tired of people running in, grabbing the codes and not saying anything.

Taken. :)

When does this promo end?

[arazfar]

August 25

[help1]

Sweet, I can get 2,000 points. I'll be set for my Halo and Gears 2 mappacks!

[arazfar]

If the things that people in this thread have been saying are true, I'm gonna have enough MS points to buy every single live arcade game and still have more left over.

[Monsta Mack]

Again, those that didn't abuse this earlier need to abuse this now. By the dead line if you do this everyday you can easily manage 2,000 points. That's enough for two big arcade games and a small one. Once this is over I plan to buy Megaman, Turbo HD remix (assuming It's 800, if not forget it) and some other game.

[becuzimbrown]

I'll be perfectly delighted to get a free 2,000 points to be honest

[amanda x]

how do i get free 50 points!@!!!! i cant find it

[greyzieoriental]

i cant get it to work, i've rated and made cars about 5x in the past week and no points are showing up in the blue bar, i've logged in and logged out a lot of times with no luck, maybe it'll take a long time to update or never update at all

[killer8]

anyone having trouble i try to log in and submit a car i get unhandled exception

[educkface]

I didn't see this anywhere in the thread, so I figured I would post it. This is straight from the FAQ section.

Q. When should I expect to see my final Microsoft Points email?
A. You should receive your final Microsoft Points email with coupon code(s) on/about 9/19/2008

Hmm. I didn't get that message even though I went through and rated a few cars a few minutes ago.

[A Gamer]

Hmm. I didn't get that message even though I went through and rated a few cars a few minutes ago.

You get the message in the e-mail when you sign up a new account, instead of the 100 points you used to get. Here is the whole thing:

NOTICE: Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Points*. Unfortunately, the Microsoft Points cap has been reached for this promotion. You will not have the ability to earn points, as a part of the Dream, Design, Drive Challenge. However, you are still eligible to submit your car designs and rate cars in the showroom for your chance to win one of two 2009 Dodge Challenger R/Ts and the cool weekly sweepstakes prizes. If you have questions, please see the Official Rules.

*Microsoft Points supplies are limited. Microsoft Points caps and restrictions also apply. Please see full rules for details.

So, no more points for adding or rating cars, but you can still push for the sweepstakes or contest if you used a real address...

Man, that's lame. I got 550 points though, so whatever.

[xbox lives on]

Boo!

Oh well, if they still sent out the codes later as promised, I will have got 950 MS points for about a total of 10 minutes worth of designing/rating cars. Not bad. :bouncy:

[pete5883]

I submitted a car that said "suck it" on it. They didn't accept it. I don't think I got the points :(

[A Gamer]

I submitted a car that said "suck it" on it. They didn't accept it. I don't think I got the points :(

I had a couple 'sweet' cars, too... But I never really expected them to get past the censors... :roll:

[killer8]

aw man damn it

[Crazyglitcher]

Man i hope they send out the points to everyone. That'd be cool lol

[wutaday09]

Man, that's lame. I got 550 points though, so whatever.
same here well this sucks

[pete5883]

Why the hell did so many people open dozens of new accounts, using up points that have to go to different people? This would've lasted a little longer.

[VioletArrows]

I think you know the answer to that.

[pete5883]

But they can't even use all the points they accumulated. It's only 1 100 point code per account, yet people opened lots of them.:wall:

[ZForce]

I was wondering why I wasn't getting anymore points added to my total.... oh well, 750 free points for almost no effort isn't too shabby

[Jesus_S_Preston]

Well shit.

Got 950.

[rabbitt]

650 points, I'll take it.

[help1]

I got 800 points, but I really hope that Microsoft decided to jip the scammers and make those points that they earned with multiple accounts invalid, and not just work on another XBOX live account, because then they will just sell them or create new accoutns and transfer them over.

I should have 900 points, but the email that I got that was supposed to give me 100 points was blank.

[masterofdarkness]

eh 400, better than nothing eh?

[heathdud]

I got 850 for me and 450 for my wife

[arazfar]

Is there a way to transfer points from one account to another?

[Roadkill??]

Is there a way to transfer points from one account to another?
Yes just enter the points on the account that you want them on, it should allow

[crunchberries]

Well, that sucks. At least I got 1100 points this time after getting shafted in the beginning of the contest.

[LegendK7ll3r]

Heh, I was gone this entire past week at someone elses house, so I missed out on doing this.. so, I only have 250 points. Ah well, better then nothing.

[xbox lives on]

Heh, I was gone this entire past week at someone elses house, so I missed out on doing this.. so, I only have 250 points. Ah well, better then nothing.
They don't have Internet?

[NoDAK]

Well, that sucks. At least I got 1100 points this time after getting shafted in the beginning of the contest.
Yes, it certainly does suck...I never hit my 2,000 limit.

Too bad they won't take all those 100-point codes that were wasted or went unused, and re-add them back into the promo.

[fugot66]

I got 1000 points

[killer9]

meh 2000 for me and 2000 for my bro

[Metalic]

So the rating cars/designing cars thing is over? Whats going on?

[DarkKenpachi]

yeah i just finally registered today and it says all the points are gone. Oh well. I snoozed and lost out on this one. lol

[cin84_12]

Well I got 750. It seems that someone posted this on every forum I frequent plus I had Live friends sending me messages about it lol. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did.

[Keef]

But they can't even use all the points they accumulated. It's only 1 100 point code per account, yet people opened lots of them.:wall:


True, that's the thing. If you open a bunch of silver accounts, you can register the codes on there, download your content, and share it back with your main profile; (In other words, you could get 20k-40k-well, 100k? in gamerpoints, depending on how many emails you opened/bots you ran.)

[CYRiX]

Did they send out the cumulative points? I haven't received any =\

[Metalic]

Where does it even say there out of points? Im not seeing this anywhere.... Checked the whole site

[A Gamer]

Did they send out the cumulative points? I haven't received any =\
According to the Official FAQ (http://www.dreamcarchallenge.com/main/FAQs.aspx#seven):Q. When should I expect to see my final Microsoft Points email?
A. You should receive your final Microsoft Points email with coupon code(s) on/about 9/19/2008.


The promotion is not over until Aug 25... They just ran out of the allocated 24 MILLION XBOX Live points... :cry:


Where does it even say there out of points? Im not seeing this anywhere.... Checked the whole siteWhen you create a new account you get the following in the e-mail message that used to contain the code for the initial 100 points:

[killer9]

yeah also you can not earn any more by creating or rating cars so it is now dead for ms points anyway

[V4oLDbOY]

is this even working still, I've tried with several emails and nothing, it says i have an entry but no Microsoft points?

[Monsta Mack]

What? Bummer. Hope they send me my 600+ points I earned before reading about that. Was looking forward to a free Mega Man and SF HD Remix.

[cyberduelist2]

awww.. no more..... oh well, i got at least 500 ms points each for all my 7-8 emails. im satisfied. :D

[Protolisk]

It seems that they're giving out codes to the people who got the blank code thing when they temporarily stopped giving them out.

[M3wThr33]

I got up to 750. That's bullshit. I wish it'd tell me that they stopped.

All you guys spamming the 100 point sign up is what killed it. You can't even use a FRACTION of what you got out of it. Every one of those codes that goes unused is one that we could have actually used.

[Shady3011]

Someone should change the topic title.

[KillJoi99]

Damn. Well I got about 1K out of it. :/

[Jerry-kun]

I got a whole 200 points. Can I even get gamer pictures for that?

[Garon]

yeah i didn't get anything. No email saying that no points are left. I got the email verification and the welcome email. Neither mentioned anything about no points left and yet here I am with zero points. BS.

[Crazyglitcher]

yeah i didn't get anything. No email saying that no points are left. I got the email verification and the welcome email. Neither mentioned anything about no points left and yet here I am with zero points. BS.

You probably didnt check off the little box that said "Yes, I would like MS points" on the side of the sign up screen. Thats why your email said nothing about them.

[orbit18]

i only got 450 points :(

[mdmola]

omg, I miss out on another one of these types of things. I tried yesterday and got the same message of no more points =[

[Roadkill??]

it is officially DEAD, i cant get any more points which sucks,

[Crazyglitcher]

lol OP should probably change the title of this thread then...its very misleading XD

[LuisRM]

Oh shiznit. I did the survey and got the 100 pts, but never added it to my account. Now my xbox died. Crap. Do these expire or can I add them via xbox.com?

[YodaEXE]

Oh shiznit. I did the survey and got the 100 pts, but never added it to my account. Now my xbox died. Crap. Do these expire or can I add them via xbox.com?
You can't do it on either. You have to do it from points.microsoft.com.

[life.exe]

Anybody want to sell me a code for $0.99 PayPal? I really need 100 points today ASAP. Thank you.

You must use the http://points.microsoft.com page to enter the codes into your Windows Live account. The points will then be accessible to your XBOX Live or Zune accounts.

Also, these promotional 100 points expire in Feb 2009. Not the codes, the actual points. So, you have to use them up by then or they vanish from your account...

Reference: FYI Microsoft Points Expire (http://www.unscripted360.com/2008/07/02/fyi-microsoft-points-expire/)

[l206312]

I only got 500 points =( o well still better than nothing i guess

[mdmola]

at least u got some, lol

[lucao]

no more points and I got stuck with only 450. At least I have an entry to win. And I had some extra time and did an awesome design in photoshop. So please check it out.

[orbit18]

so if we got 450 does that mean 450-100=350 is what we get in sept?

[chimpian]

damn im capped too
oh well 800 pts for nothing but clicking a few times is damn good if you ask me.

thanks a billion op or about $10 worth lol :)

[FoxHoundADAM]

Confirmed dead, got the email.

"
Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Points. The Microsoft Points were available while supplies lasted and are no longer available to earn as of July 18, 2008. Points will no longer accrue from activity on the site.

If you had a balance prior to the depletion of our supply, don't worry. You will receive an email with a coupon code(s) for accumulated points through July 18, 2008 (less the 100 Points received at registration) that you can deposit into your Microsoft Points account. You should receive your final Microsoft Points email with coupon code(s) on or about September 19, 2008. To determine your final Microsoft Points balance, please click on the Login tab at the top of the website home page and login with your username and password (remember 100 points will be removed from your final point coupon as these were distributed at registration). "

I got 450 points, which isn't much but hey free is free.

[Nico0020]

yea i was thinking this was dead now, as for the past few days it was not adding points to my account total. sucks. But I got about 1000 out of it. This was posted just about everywhere, so I am glad it lasted as long as it did. Hell I found out about it from xbox.com boards.

[Glyndinn]

Ah, well that explains why my points having been changing from my last view visits. I'll end up with 500 points, not too bad. Wish I didn't have to wait until September though.

[Lonestar9]

Damn...only made it to 450, no new points last few days, now I see why. Eh, oh well, I may still enter on occasion, a new car wouldn't make me upset...:)

[Dezuria]

I was wondering why I've been stuck at 500 for a couple days now. :(

[Crazyglitcher]

Anybody want to sell me a code for $0.99 PayPal? I really need 100 points today ASAP. Thank you.

Not sure if someone would bite on this, considering how they're worth $1.25...You have better luck just waiting for a code to be posted up or given to you by another CAG member. That way it's free ^_^

[killer9]

gone

[WonkyToad]

Hey, Glyndinn! Nice profile pic!

[DualDisorder]

Mine stopped at 1150. Not bad for just rating and designing some cars a couple minutes per day.

[alarthame]

I just signed up, but in the rules it says that the maximum points have been distributed. Everyone can stop & consider this promo toast. :-\

[MightyHealthy]

I just signed up, but in the rules it says that the maximum points have been distributed. Everyone can stop & consider this promo toast. :-\Yeah, it's dead for now, but don't lock it, for when we get our points in September.

I'm due for 1150.

[Jesus_S_Preston]

950 for me.

[Rosco906]

An even 800 for me, that's all I really needed anyway.

Hopefully they send the codes early since they ran out.

[cyberduelist2]

i got 450 on each email that i have. does anyone know if all those codes will be able to work on one account??

[Nico0020]

I am assuming that the code will only work one per account, as the inital starting code did not. Who knows though. I would like it to, but if not, I did it with two different gamertags/e-mails. So If I have to split them I will. My 2nd gamertag will only have a few points on it, so I will buy some of season 1 of SGc2c or something that I dont have to worry about wanting to download to again when I am at a friends house playing on live or something.

[Crazyglitcher]

Just a heads up, but make sure you take into account that the total you get in september is going to be the amount that you got on the site minus 100. They gave you 100 as a "welcome gift". The FAQ addresses the issue if you don't believe me.

[moneydog96]

So now I only get 600? Free points are free points I suppose.

[alwaysfeelingthis]

wait.. does this mean they are gunna stop giving points to new members?..cause ive been trying for the past 2 days and there is no point build up in my login.

[Shady3011]

Do you peeps not read the thread?

[Friend of Sonic]

Damn it. I stopped doing it. I could have been maxed out...

[flyinsquirrel360]

I got about 3600 points from this. just add "#1" to the end of ur email address before the @ each time u create a car. after u use #1, use #2, an so on and so forth

[cgsaunde]

The people that abused the system and created multiple email addresses is the exact reason that they ran out so quickly

[SolidMetal]

wtf? I did this before they stopped and never got an email.
All I wanted was 400 points for sonic the hedgehog2 :[[

[xbox lives on]

The people that abused the system and created multiple email addresses is the exact reason that they ran out so quickly
!!!

[smellhasreturned]

I got 650... Halo 3 maps I shall get

[SoulReaver]

You got an email? I still have nothing

[killer9]

no they are not sending emails till sept 19th

[M3wThr33]

Sept 19th? Damn. I can wait....

[Shady3011]

Holy poop! What the fuck are you saying?

[MightyHealthy]

I've been sitting on getting Braid, until I get my share of points from this.

Just a couple more weeks.

[crunchberries]

how to get points?? i signed up i didnt get anything :(

Good to know that you're as obliviously dense and illiterate as those SD threads make you out to be. :roll:

[Crazyglitcher]

Good to know that you're as obliviously dense and illiterate as those SD threads make you out to be. :roll:

lol epic burn :hot::whee:

Good to know that you're as obliviously dense and illiterate as those SD threads make you out to be. :roll::lol:

link?

[crunchberries]

:lol:

link?

Sorry, I can't remember what post it was. All I remember was that I was lurking around the hot deals section, saw some deal I was interested in, and clicked to read the last posts only to find someone ripping uchihabutter a new one for doing the same shit he does here.

[help1]

September 19th is nearing.

[killer9]

8 days still hopefully i can use all the points for one account

[iiinightmar3ii]

Question: I have 2 accounts (one primary and other just for the hell of it) and I wanted to use points on a 2nd account to buy songs on rock band. Now I want to know if I can purchase songs on the 2nd account and use them on my main account? If anybody knows please respond.

[killer9]

yes

[mietha]

8 days still hopefully i can use all the points for one account

I'm sure it will be one code per account, just like they made the initial point codes.

[killer9]

most likely hopefully not though

[iiinightmar3ii]

Okay cool. I didn't want to switch between two accounts every time I wanted to play a certain song since all my MS points go towards RB DLC.

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

I'm sure it will be one code per account, just like they made the initial point codes.

No it won't, it would be pointless for them to make it so that you can earn 2,000 points just so that you can make 10 different accounts to use them?

[CYRiX]

Do we know for sure we're getting those codes? Because they might have just ran out on accident during the actual giveaway.

[MightyHealthy]

Do we know for sure we're getting those codes? Because they might have just ran out on accident during the actual giveaway.I may be wrong here, but if I remember correctly, they stopped giving out 100 MS Points a few days before they stopped letting folks accrue more.

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

Do we know for sure we're getting those codes? Because they might have just ran out on accident during the actual giveaway.

Who cares, free is free.

[Friend of Sonic]

Yeah, I won't be too disappointed. Either way I got a free 100 points. If I got the other 600 or whatever I wound up accumlating that's all gravy too.

[SCUD4LIFE]

I hope i get mines. Perfect timing for rock band 2.

[cyberduelist2]

i think they're giving out the remainders on the 17th of this month. im excited. :D

[iiinightmar3ii]

i think they're giving out the remainders on the 17th of this month. im excited. :D
I thought it said the 19th in the rules.

[masterofdarkness]

Nice.

[MightyHealthy]

I figured they would do it right :D

[Mangasage]

I think I earned about 900 MS or so. I can't wait to receive them!

[crunchberries]

Sweet. Hello, Puzzle Quest!

[cyberduelist2]

I thought it said the 19th in the rules.
oh yeah, it was 19th. my mistake.

[lionheart4life]

Thanks for bumping this, I completely forgot all about the free points. I'm only getting a couple hundred but its pretty sweet.

[Metalic]

Awesome. Think i was able to squeeze 2,700 from the actual contest. cant wait till the 19th.

[Strider Turbulence]

Sweet, should come just in time to have enough for Duke and Mega Man 9.

[iiinightmar3ii]

Had to bring this thread back since tomorrow is the day. We shall see what happens.

[CYRiX]

Hopefully we all get our codes!

[MightyHealthy]

Hopefully we all get our codes!I hope you don't get yours.

Because you make me nervous :lol:

[cyberduelist2]

hopefully i can get all my points tomorrow. need some arcade games....

[Benisjamin]

I hope we get our codes! I've got 600pts on the way!

[IXI Dragunz IXI]

Tomorrow is the big day. If I don't get my point tomorrow I'LL................be a sad panda....

[TheGlow]

Nod, any moment...

[Sharp Katana]

i totally forgot about this. Hope the codes come today

[aniousjoe]

Tomorrow is the big day. If I don't get my point tomorrow I'LL................be a sad panda....


well, they start today, but that doesn't mean everyone'll get their's today. it said in the rules points'll be distributed on or around today

[heathdud]

Has anyone recived their points yet?

[Smidget]

Not I.

[FoxHoundADAM]

Not I. I bet it's later next week before anyone get's theirs.

[bigpimpin07]

Got em!!!






No, i'm actually still waiting :p

[Benisjamin]

Nothing yet, I hope they don't keep us waiting for days.

[DualDisorder]

Nothing here yet. I'm really looking forward to those extra points.

[iiinightmar3ii]

Nothing still at 3:00 EST. The hope for them to come today is still there though.
