Thanks, I had been saving since January to get the $25 gift card for (I think) 23k points and now I already have enough for it thanks to this offer. I'm not really looking to purchase anything just yet though, do you know if it's worth waiting to keep stockpiling? Do these offers come along often?
The credit you redeem expires after 90 days so if you don't want anything it's better to hold off.

Hot Deals seem to alternate between Xbox credit, Skype, Game Pass, & XBL Gold

Yeah, judging from the ones lately, next month should be XBL Gold. As they've had Skype, Xbox gift cards and Game Pass hot deals the last 3 months.

Thanks, I didn't realize the credit had an expiration date. Appreciate your help!

 
They only do xbl gold deals once a year and they just did one in january
Not sure about the once a year for Gold since I just started taking full advantage of this in August but I checked my order history.

XBL Gold was the Hot Deal in December (24K for 12 months) and I think it sold out in a couple days.

It's once a year, I've been a member of bing rewards since it started and haven't ever seen them run a xbl gold deal more then once. That promo was from December to January 8th or something can't remember when it ended but, yes the 12 month subs went fast.
 
I picked up the discounted Xbox credit. I don't have any purchases in mind right now, but the Spring sale should happen late March or early April. I have other credit set to expire in June, so the Spring sale is probably where I'll spend it.

I was talking about the 1 month of XBL Gold. They usually have those as a hot deal every 3-4 months.

 
I noticed this on my Xbox dashboard and figured I'd share.

There's a great deal on Game Pass for anyone with the "Come back, get 50% off" offer on their dashboard.

It's a deal for $14.99 for 3 months of Game Pass and when combined with the Xbox GC Hot Deal currently it's basically just 12,000 points.

The last Game Pass Hot Deal didn't have a 3 month option so I think it's the best deal without letting your GP expire and getting a 1 month for a $1 offer.

You can also keep redeeming this offer if you turn off recurring billing.

So you could get a year of Game Pass for 48K.

 
You can complete the Anthem Punchcard worth 6,000 points by downloading the free trial if you have EA access.

You can buy a one month EA Access sub for $5, start DL'ing Anthem for the 6K Punch Card, cancel and get a refund right away.

Thanks, I noticed in the store my 3 month extend is $15 so I cashed in my 20k points to get a 3 month extension and an extra $10.

Also if anyone is looking cdkeys has Ea Access one month for $3.69

$10 Xbox Gift Card is "out of stock" now.  Reviewing past redemptions, the hot deal isn't as good as it used to be, 3,500, then 3,750, now 4,000 for $5 one. Standard is 4,650 with Level 2 discount.

It looks like MS did away with the monthly survey. Every month they offered 150 pts for completing their survey on the XBOX One rewards app.

 
Achievement hunter quest still not going giving credit for the "15 more achievements" part.  Submitted a ticket, pain in the ass having to screenshot all the achievements for them (can't they just look it up on my profile?).

I'm not getting credit for doing 2 achievements for crackdown 3 (terrible game, glad i had gamepass to try it) and 1 achievement for a game that was new from the previous month. Its not worth my time to sub a ticket so unless they fix this new bs way to get credit for quests by clicking that final tile which broke it, i'll simply stop doing quests and less gamepass expire. Its too bad cuz it motivated me to try sum games i normally wouldn't have and ended up having fun with a few.

 
Update: Still no monthly survey however quests seem to be working as intended. I've completed Shadow of Tombraider and the 4 achievements for an Indie game with Grip which was super quck. Grip was so so but Tombraider looks and plays amazing. Gonna knock out the other 2 games tomorrow. 

 
Does the current "Spend More. Earn More" bonus promotion work with pre-orders? I tried asking Microsoft Rewards support and they clearly didn't understand my question. 

 
Anybody else take advantage of the Bing app promo for 500 points and double mobile points for 30 Days last month?

Just wondering since it's been over 30 days for me and I'm still getting double points.

 
It's weird that some people don't realize that competition is good for gamers.

If the 360 wasn't a success do you think Sony would change course and kick ass with the PS4 and its exclusives?

If Sony wasn't crushing it now does MS reverse course with the always online stuff and Kinect, invest in more game studios, make Game Pass one of the best deals in gaming, as well as having the best rewards program in gaming by far?

Probably not.

 
Question... I just had my brother make an account. I've been doing mine since October is last year. My mobile searches are at 200 a day. His is at 100, is there something special you have to do, to get 200?

To reach level 2, which allows more daily points, you have got a monthly threshold. I think it is 500 points. So he will get to the same point as you buy it will take a few days.

You must have a special double points promo. I’m only getting 100 on mobile as well. (Level 2, been using bing for years)

That's what I thought... But that promo was supposed to be a month. Seems like it's been active for a over a month already.
