I bought my stuff the first week as well while dirtyvu bought he said at the very end. Who do we contact because I know for sure, my content counted

I bought:

MLB Bobblehead Pros (800) on 8/17
Golf: Tee It Up (400) on 8/29
3D MiniGolf (400) on 8/29 [and of course it's on sale for 200 this week! )

I'm still gonna wait a few days before I contact them, but if you want to contact them now you would want to post a message in the Xbox Rewards Forum on Xbox.com.

I gave them their 96 hours and then posted in the forum. they're really responsive in the forum especially if you're cordial. don't be like a lot of crazies in the forum who are practically demanding that rewards support fix any problem ASAP.

Still no points pending, nor is my September survey pending. My post from Friday still hasn't been answered, but a lot of more recent posts have been. I need to bump mine to make sure they see it I guess, tried but Xbox.com won't let me sign in at the moment.

This will be the last time I partake in these rewards, unless it's just the 5% back on all purchases or something like that. This has been a little bit too much of a headache to save $3.

Big new update..there are now rebates etc.

To clarify, this seems to be the rollout of the Achievement-based rewards announced earlier this year. I can't look up the Gamerscore requirements right now but bottom tier gets you a "gift" during your birthday month, midtier gets you the gift plus 1% back on all Marketplace purchases, and top tier gets you the gift plus 2% back. Not bad at all.

* Birthday Gift (approximate retail value ("ARV"): $0.25 USD)

yeah, disappointed in the big reveal, but something is better than nothing and hopefully they'll improve.

I'm going to take my 150k, print it and frame it.

So spend $25.00, get $3.75 back? Eh. Probably good for people buying a RE6 season pass kind of thing.

So you only get 2% off of 1 purchase a month?

I don't know where you're seeing the 1 purchase thing. You get 2% back on everything you buy every month. If you spend 4,000 MSP in October, you get 80 MSP back. If you spend 800 the next month, you get 16 MSP back.

Simple solution. Buy a PS3 and sign up for PS+

Its too bad this only took effect on September 27th. I've spent about 50k in MS points in the past six months.

Thanks for this. Can bite on the items I've been eyeing rather than hold out till Monday.

Geez. Guess it's time to splurge on the sale this week. I did mention before that Microsoft/XBox is the Gamestop of digital sales, rewards, and offers. Major Nelson and the XBox Rewards teams are puppets of whoever pull the strings.
