Finally got my Halo Map pack and points spent percentage deposited so I'm xbox rich again. This whole thing takes a long time but it's nice to see a good amount of points rewarded to you out of the blue when looking at your balance one day.

I also received the code for my free avatar banshee prop earlier this week. I'm happy with the service overall.

I received an email with 200 MS points for joining Bing rewards.

off to a good start.

now all i need is my 200 points for renewing my xbox live time.

he renewing xbox live points doesnt goto your rewards program till it rolls around till when that renewed month starts. Like if i have 5 months left on my current one and i add 12 months, i wont be gifted the 200ms pointed till 5 month later. Thats how it worked for me

I renewed my live account in may and i see on dashboard if i renewed i would get free 600 point, so i renew with a code card. In a case like that, how long would it be before i get the 600 point?

I'm pretty sure you have to renew with a credit card to get those kinds of deals.

Does anyone know what the deal is with the referring friends for 400pts a friend? Every time I try to refer a friend it tells me the gamertag is invalid. Has anyone successfully done this? It seems like people on the xbox.com forums have been having issues with it too.

I was never able to get it to work. I am pretty sure it is mostly broken.

Ditto. However, I gave up trying a month (or more) ago.

Thanks for the headup on the Bing points, I'll be getting in on that.

so no more rewards program after the 30th? what happens to the points we earn in June?

I just remembered this is ending soon, so I checked to see how many points I got for renewing a couple weeks ago. When I saw it was not there, it said I need to upgrade to gold on the rewards sight. So I clicked it (even though I already am gold) and it takes me to the gold subscription page on the normal xbox site, but it says I am already a gold next to my gamertag.

This was a dashboard deal, wasn't it? Nothing to do with the Rewards program. Usually you have to renew with a credit card and sign up for auto-renewal. They can take quite some time to give you those points.

That's what is wrong with the Refer a Friend rewards, they have to sign up with a credit card and sign up for auto-renewal. Don't want to do that to friends.

No word yet on this program being extended? The survey hinted at it.

I guess it doesn't matter as there aren't any rebates for June. So current purchases won't 'earn' our accts anything.

July XBL Rewards.

20 - Survey
100 - 1st Marketplace purchace
200 - Buy two Arcade games that cost 800+
100 - first netflix activation/use

Looks like XBL Rewards is continuing down its path of mediocrity.

thanks. so the Rewards program has been extended?
according to the FAQ seems like reward points expire in June 2012. so i assume that's when the program will end?

well now I gotta think of a 2nd 800 point game.

For clarification, if you activated your Netflix before you joined XBL Rewards, there's no way to get those reward points, is there?

Well maybe I will get Torchlight next week after all! I almost never buy 800 point games but since it's on sale AND I can count it as one of the two I think I will get it. My gut says Half-Minute Hero is going to be the second. It's not on sale but I think I might be willing to pay full price for it. Might wait and see if any other 1200 point games get a discount down to 800 before the end of the month first though.

Hmm, had I not choked and purchased MTG 2012 when it first came out, I'd definitely go for that and Half-Minute Hero for the 200 points back. Oh well, I'm sure something will grab my interest between now and the end of the month.

No way to get those points. Have to activate it after you sign up with rewards.

i made 540 points this time, which was nice!!!!!!!!
