Wasnt there was something about not using your points to get the GPU direct.
The Nier quest popped for me after 3-4 mins! Was gonna leave it, but saw people in the comments say it didn't take that long.
I don't know about any achievements in that one though, could be way longer!
Any reason why? I'd have thought thats what most use them for but I'm admittedly a rewards noob. What do folks usually put them towards
I'm saving for a new Xbox X, might take at least over another year!
Like you I started out thinking i'd use it to pay for Gamepass for a month... and here I am ... still collecting.
Might just go for new elite controller either if I get tired of it. The old one has got a bit of drift and it really was far better than any of the standard issue controllers.
BTW you can convert any One4All vouchers to Xbox credit. Also Tesco vouchers can be used to buy Xbox Gift cards too.
Folks in the states can nearly have enough points for a new X after one year!!!! But that's serious clicking going on.
Oh yeah, the Gamepass for a month thing:
Came across this on Reddit, apparently 2 PC Gamepass tops up/converts to GPU (40 days) cheaper than buying 1 month straight GPU (30 days).
Will need to check out the maths on that, here's the post:
Redeeming 1 month of GP for PC extends an active GPU subscription by 20 days.
1 month of GP for PC is 6800 MR points. Doing that 2 times extends your GPU by 40 days for just 13,600 MR points. 30 days of GPU is 12,000 MR points. So, you get 10 days more for just 1,600 MR points more.
For US users this is the cheapest way(points wise) to extend an active GPU subscription.
I put mine towards my Series X - I think it was close to £150 worth at the time. I'm stocking up again for next gen (or even mid-gen). Possibly even peripherals. When I can get 3 years of GPU for <£100 (<£90 if timed right) I think spending rewards points on it is actually bad value.
Spent mine on Dying light 2 the other night. Speaking of which has anyone been able to get the 250 punch card to work for unlocking an achievement in DL2?
Makes sense. If the Live to GPU conversion stays then its far cheaper. Will squirrel away points for when I need a game a peripheral.
Another advantage of MS rewards is that its a constant daily reminder to never use Bing as my go-to search engine, its terrible :D
Ya, I was wondering about the bing task, some of the game ones have made me play the game more. The bing one is a chore to do and get out of the way.
The Teal had a short cut solution for the 50 bing searches in this thread.
Basically load up your websites then everytime it comes around you click a button and they all search instantaneously ....or something!
I just search for the numbers 1 to 50 while waiting for soemthing to load or if there's ads on TV...
Emailed customer support yesterday amd they added the points to my account no hassle. Didn't need screenshots or anything
Ya I have to say, even for a couple of rewards points customer service is pretty good
It's the only thing that Edge is used for. Saved a bunch of searches to a folder way back when (no idea why I did 41). Then for my daily searches I just Right-click on it and hit "Open all". There is a prompt about opening so many tabs but you click OK and then it does just that. Leave it open for a few mins and get on with your day.
But Bing is different to Edge no?
For Ireland we have no daily searches, but occasionally for the weekly streak there are 50 Bing searches.
It is different but there are a few points for using Edge too so I just do the lot there - Bing is the default search. That way I don't have to mess around with settings on the browsers I actually use day to day.
There is a 6000 point bonus for pre order elden ring which is handy. Just used 35 quid in vouchers and got the points and as I am game sharing the game cost me nothing haha
What's game sharing?
When you share your game library with another console and vice versa. Me and a guy I work with have had it around 6 years or so. Saved us hundreds. We buy one digital copy of a game abd it appears on both consoles.
It won't let me add a link to xbox site saying how to do it. Ms tell you on their site.
Weekly Treasure is there today 🙂
I'm just not feeling that game but I saw the Argentina pre order on Gamivo yesterday for £27 so I caved. The 6000 points should pop when I redeem the code (assuming all works fine, I've never done a dodgy pre order before)
I would have thought you would only get the 6000 points if you buy direct from the MS store?
Yeah I think you only get these ones if you order from MS direct.
Was all set to mop up some easy achievements in Kill it With Fire following the Rewards Hunter video. It seems you can't invert Y axis in that game so it's game over for me. Devs that don't allow option to invert Y should be sued for discrimination :) I've had less hassle beating Dark Souls bosses than I've had hitting that first spider.
I got them in the past. For my shame, I bought one of the COD games of the last few years via foreign redemption code and the points subsequently popped. The lads on HUKD certainly seem to assume it'll work also.
Oh that's good to know, will see what pops up on the key sites so. Either that or will burn some points on gift cards.
Have you tried Day of the Tentacle, Townscaper, Unpacking, or Full Throttle?
I've played unpacking so might just march on with that. I'll give the others a look though. I hear that drum game Taiken something something is good for easy achievements too
Pupperazzi has lots of easy achievements.
Cheers, I'll get the daughter onto that this evening.
