Hardy har har.

That's good that MS can't put peoples accounts in the negative.

I did not even notice the P.P.S. thing lol. I can't remember now if I had a P.S. as well or if P.S. some how became just became P.P.S.

If it wasn't for this post I would've spent those 550 points *sigh* that's what I get for being honest, huh.

So we don't get ANY points now? I thought we were supposed to get 400, They gave us too many and now they take them away? sigh.

No, the situation with this promotion is still unresolved. For some reason people decided this was a good place to spend days discussing a mistake that happened with Xbox Rewards. Initially someone thought their extra points were from this, but they weren't, and instead of the discussion moving to the appropriate place, it continued here.

Ahh okay, Sorry, I didn't read through the last couple pages :P

and now we're back on the topic of THIS promotion and not ranting and raving about an offtopic glitch, I have yet to receive 400 points but hopefully its not too many weeks away

Everyone was talking about a glitch with Xbox Rewards? I didn't even realize. Well I guess since nobody has gotten the points yet then it's possible I may still get them after my GT is back in my hands fully.

First and foremost, this has nothing to do with this topic as this was an error with the Xbox Rewards system. Second, MS will NEVER charge you for a mistake they made. There's been mistakes in the past (1 month for $1 glitch) and they never billed anyone. If anything, Xbox Phone Support was told to tell callers about this issue some BS to try and stop them from spending the points because they're losing a ton of money.

If you got the points and spent them, you get what ever it is you purchase and MS will not be billing you for anything.

On a side note, I was suppose to have 130 MSP deposited into my account because of the rewards program but didn't receive anything so I missed out on this lol

Oh, you mean like the Fable 3 glitch where they charged people, or are you talking about the accounts that got banned because of the $1 for one month fiasco?

No one got charged or banned. I know multiple people who did that and never got in any trouble. It's MS screw up.

who the cares about the glitch anymore...get back on topic people, read OP!

I never got the 400 points. Did the cheap games not qualify?

what cheap games? This promotion you had to be one of the first 1,000 people to tweet something. It's too late for people to do it now.

i tweeted it but if it ended in june... odds are all 1000 msp are gone. i felt dumb doing it before the end of the date but we shall see. I find it odd that by typing that in on Twitter it somehow gets sent to them so it can be entered.

Edit: Actually i also didnt notice this post had 16 pages. wow I need to sleep

I just got an email with the 400 MS Points.

Same here, thanks again OP!

I just got an email from this Sidekick promotion with a 400 MSP code inside. Sweet! I kind of forgot about it!

Just got my email as well. 400 MSP for free!

got my email w/ 400 points a few mins ago as well, yay

I just got my code a minute ago, the only thing I don't like is that the points expire at the end of the year, but I guess I'll find something I really want to spend them on.
