Anyone else in here redeemed Bing Rewards points for Amazon cards here lately? Trying to do so, and my orders keep getting declined ...

Did you max out your annual redeem reward for the year? You can only redeem around 500k points per calander year.

Nope. Now, granted I was trying to cash out for 20 $10 gift cards, but I'd still be under. I submitted a support ticket, so I'll just wait to hear back from that. Just chomping at the bit, because a speaker I had my eye on dropped by $200, lol.

That's 210,000 points! Well done on saving so many points! Good luck with the support ticket.

In my experience with MS rewards for like a decade, orders get declined at a high rate on weekends for whatever reason.

This is pretty much how I've been feeling about it all afternoon. Having the same exact issue and feeling slightly better about it not being a singular issue with my account, but grr.

The 2tb card was in stock on the Microsoft store less than a week ago. I was considering getting one to replace my 1TB so I just kept a tab open on my browser with it on there. Refreshed it each day and they had some.

Seeing some sellers on GameFlip posting codes from Chile. Guess that’ll be the new Argentina for now. Still pretty cheap too.

Browsing through https://www.xbox-now.com, it looks like there could be some potential cheap prices from Chile and Columbia, but they will be restricted to a much smaller selection of titles.  Some of the current sale prices from those regions are no better than the US price.

 

There were a few items that never go on sale here that I regret not picking up.  For now, I’m going back to my more selective purchasing habits.  Ironically most of my purchases will be on PlayStation while GP gets my attention on Xbox.

Yes, you missed the boat quite awhile ago when Microsoft tried to increase the price of Xbox Live Gold (which they backtracked) and removed the 12 month option. There's no way to get Gold for "cheap" if you only want to spend your Microsoft bucks.

Thanks for the info. Snagged the 3 months of XBL Gold and subbed a month to GPU for $1, so $26 MS cred/4 months. Hopefully GPU won't go up before mid March next year. I'll buy a few years worth of Gold subs and convert that way, since MS cred isnt worth it cause they only offer three month subs

I'm still waiting to play Witcher 3 with the next gen update...  Maybe by the time I finally play through it, CP will be in a near-complete state.

Weak and Series S kinda go hand in hand though...

I've seen Series S with 3 of Game Pass for $230 yet this weak "bundle" is what Microsoft proudly touts. They make the annual Switch + Mario Kart bundle look like the deal of the decade.

Very surprised to hear this, but I’ll check it out for sure! Apparently it’s a detective story, which seems like something I’d enjoy.

They could at least paint that lemon bundle a gold color or something. I miss the old days when they made tons of systems with unique color schemes. Yes it would suck to be a collector that had to catch them all, but for someone looking for a new system unique color might be the little detail to close the deal.

I was hoping Starfield might be big enough to warrant a limited edition bundle, but with the delay out of the holiday window I'm feeling it's definitely less likely. Maybe upgrade the internal storage to 2TB too and that'll help justify the price increase we will likely have by then.

Nice to see Plague Tale represented alongside some heavier hitters / bigger names.

Stray being on that list is a joke. 7/10 game at best. Would have liked to see Neon White or Tunic in there instead.

Yeah, only reason everyone was talking about game was because it had a cat in it and then a week after release I don't remember hearing a damn thing about it. Also Stray over Kirby?? Get that shit outta here.

I have never tried such a game. But might give it a go considering it is on Gamepass. Gamepass is terrible for my backlog and I can't stop myself from buying games I probably will never get around to.
