Thanks for the heads up, finally able to get up to my 36 month total for Gamepass/Gold memberships, and did the $1 ultimate upgrade.

Good now with Ultimate until 7/2022.

Thanks for the info. I snagged an extra year. Will this stack if I already took advantage of the Game Pass Ultimate? :bouncy:

You'd only get 4 months added on to your GPU subscription.

You could just hold on to it until your GPU runs out and redeem it then.

Codes don't expire and the codes you purchase with MS Rewards stay in your MS account's order history so as long as you keep your account there's little risk of losing it.

Yeah, I jumped on this and will wait a few months until my GPU falls enough below 3 years to redeem it. With the new values, it is a good deal even though it is only worth 4 months.

 
I wouldn't risk it. Get a year or two while it's the hot deal and then upgrade for a buck. I don't forsee there being a better deal that that being possible since it's already "free".
 
With the streaks, is it per DAY or by 24 hour period?  Because I lose my damn streak all the time when I'm SURE I do it on repeated days...so I'm leaning towards it being per 24 hour period.....?

per day, resets at midnight

Huh, there's been times when I was diligent about keeping my streak and I'll do it in the morning one day and the evening next and it'll break the streak. Guess I've just been unlucky a few times? I've seen other people say similar... Oh well, still have earned quite a bit in the past couple years so can't complain too much I guess.

 
If you haven't done the activity for guessing which of the two terms was searched more here are the answers. You can't just brute force your way to the points. Each one you get right gets you five points.

Fortnite
California
Empire State Building
Giraffe
Tennessee
Alligator
Raccoon
New York
Sri Lanka
Venezuela

 
Yes, that was easy except for Sri Lanka and Raccoon, threw me.  Hope there is a deal on gift cards this week, been saving.

 
Got the rewards card going for Operation: Galactic Rescue in my son's account and quickly completed 8 of the 10 missions. The last two are weekly ones for completing 20 Bing searches each week for three weeks on your phone and completing three weekly sets on your console.

Doubt I will be offered this on my account since already I have Game Pass Ultimate until late 2021.

Edit - make that 7 of 10 done.

If you need a game for getting easy achievements, the Scribblenauts Mega Pack is the gift that keeps on giving. Minimal effort, and fun to play!

I've got 7/10 missions completed for the Operation: Galactic Rescue quest. I just have to be diligent about completing missions 3 and 7 for the next 2-3 weeks. I popped three easy cheevos in Forza Horizon 2 to complete both the weekly set and mission 6.

 
Sidebar- I just redeemed the free one month of ultimate code from the cosmic rescue and it gave me 2 months for agreeing to recurring billing. I have signed up and immediately canceled several times without any issue - often doubling my gold time.

It did for me as well, but then the redemption would have taken me over three years so it told me to do it later. The one month would have been fine, but the free month put me over.

 
Finished operation cosmic rescue yesterday and got the 1500 pts 

Thought they would send one month free GPU code automatically but it looks like you have to go to the rewards redemption page to claim it -- should show one month free for 0 pts

Applied one month free code to my account and got another free month added for signing up for auto renew as others have mentioned -- went from Feb 2022 to April 2022

Got the email for Operation Cosmic Rescue that I finished it but when I go into rewards redemption it doesnt show up anywhere, is there another way to find it?

Not sure how long you have to redeem the code

Promo page: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/rewards/xbox/operation-cosmic-rescue

Redemption page: https://account.microsoft.com/rewards/redeem/shop

Rewards CS: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/xbox/forum/all/cosmic-rescue-rewards/f4e47a71-2956-407d-9a86-279359080dfa

 
Thanks for some reason never noticed it on Redemption page because it listed with everything else, but finally noticed it said 0pts in small numbers at the bottom, what a pain, why dont they just send you a code.

 
Would there be any problem with redeeming for multiple gift cards all at once? I was thinking about redeeming for the Target gift card, but I noticed the only denomination is $5 so I would have to redeem for many of them.

 
I do it all the time on Xbox credit, I've at least redeemed 15 times in a row for $10 in the past. Don't think something like the Target gift card would be viewed any differently. 

 
Looks like there's a Hot Deal up....finally - 3 months of Regular Game Pass for 18,000 (Converts to 2 months of Game Pass Ultimate)

Also if you're an Insider there's extra daily, weekly, and monthly Game Pass quests within the Game Pass section itself.
