Don’t worry, I’ve gotten $245 total from Xbox Live rewards. So I’m making up for it being “pretty useless” to you.
Yeah, same here, bought several games and got 0 points from it.
Yeah, I was unaware of that. It was gone for two months and it just came back today. A few days ago I used majority of my points on contests, not thinking it would come back, so wish me luck.
Yeah the NZ rewards page hasn’t been updated with new activities in months. That’s why I hated when Xbox live rewards was shut down, because at least back then I could get one or two arcade games for free from just doing the surveys.
I don’t live in the US, Europe or any English speaking country. 
How exactly do you do it. Just do surveys on your phone? I don’t seem to get as much rewards as I use to.
i just subbed to the 3 month game pass for 9.99 and i didn’t get my points did they stop it for this?
Do I just subbed for two years, bought two years of Xbox live from Microsoft website directly and didn’t get any points. I am in Canada and have access to the reward program.
I would be scared I would lose the account
Should not take you more than 3 months for XBOX LIVE Gold.
Be sure that you are using EDGE when you do your searches, also use Edge on your Phone to search.
A few points will come through emails and you can also get some points with the XBOX ONE Rewards app.
You can get enough for 12 months of gold within 3 months. Do searches on pc and mobile every day plus the dailies.
1 point per dollar spent. Would take $6000 spend to get a $5 rewards card…
What’s the max searching?
How many times are you going to spam this?
They used to have a daily search on PC and a daily search on mobile as well. That still a thing? Over half the time I bullshit my searches because Google is still the best IMO.
Oh okay. I thought Xbox LIVE Rewards became Microsoft Rewards. My bad.
I think it was 24k last sale, I don’t think they’ll do 21k again since it is so low. Either way it makes more sense to get the year(s) of gold with rewards and get them on sale if possible rather than the $100 card.
Well, if they were able to tell that you are connecting to Microsoft Rewards via VPN, I believe that service wouldn’t really count as VPN. In fact, I even got help from Microsoft Support for a US-only service when I was connected to my account through VPN, so I don’t think they really look into it.
I’m in the US and still using a VPN, so doubtful
It works for me. The only thing you need is a US phone to redeem your stuff on Microsoft Rewards, and you could use r/phoneverification for that.
