    There's a "Holiday" punch card for 500 points available now.
    Have to get 2 achievements in the EA catalogue to unlock.
    Anyone know any handy achievements in EA games? :)

    Yeah been on a mission to force myself to complete Gears 5 of late (I used to love those games but this is just effort) and I got a few achievements last night that I notice didn't count towards any of the quests

    I haven't tried it myself yet, just going on Reddit info. Did you punch in the thing after?
    There's a few more on Reddit link.
    Just checked there and EA not punching in for many people.

    BTW don't forget to install games through the app for the other quest.


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,539 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Hotshot racing can be played on cloud .
    For easy achievements play about 3 races

    Yup, "punched in" after and it just brings me to the list of EA Play games available to install - which includes Dante. I'm expecting it's just a delay but, will check later

    yeah i got a few achievements in zuma revenge and the punch card is still acting up


  • Registered Users Posts: 2,363 ✭✭✭recyclops


    Update the holiday card only updated with ea games when I played an xbox one game not a 360

    Got two Easy ones in Rory mc ilroy golf


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Lads, Peggle 2 is easy for 2 EA achievements. The game is a small download too. Little bubble bubble type puzzle game, I got the 2nd achievement at the start of the 4th round, all in less than 10 mins


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,416 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    There's a 1,000 points punch card for Fifa 21 on X|S.
    You need to get an achievement, but I just went into Volta football and it popped an achievement on the xbox one version.
    So if you go that before, will be a handy pop.
    Another easy achievement is play a women's match. Pick a custom match, select a women's team for and against. Pick 1 goal wins. Centre and pass it back to your keeper. Score an OG, the game will end and the achievement will pop :)

    Remember Fifa Street?
    It's that, but now included with regular Fifa :)

    The only reason I know about Volta at all is the hilarious viral giant goalkeeper bug that EA decided to not fix.

    Do you get the freeplays with EA play with gamepass and do acheivements appear?

    Ya some games on EA have free play (with Gamepass Ultimate ).

    So I tried Volta for a few games , then Women's, got the achievement alright, but it wouldn't punch in for the 1000 :( (I have an Xbox one S).

    Played about 6 games on Peggle 2 and got 4 achievements for EA quest.

    Nearly at 40,000 points now. Think I'll keep going.


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Yeah I chanced my arm at the Fifa 1000 but no dice on the One X

    There's a Rocket League punch card for 2500.
    You've to spend a minimum of €9.10 on credits, but season 2 started today and if you had planned on buying in on the premium tier, then you may as well get reward points too :)

    You're UK based... You might be interested in this shoppix + create your own barcodes "exploit"

    Might be a bit risky


  • Registered Users Posts: 7,593 ✭✭✭theteal


    Sorry yeah, didnt realise it was a geo thing on that one. Nah I'm not risking any messing around. I'm on course to hopefully save £100 off the price of a series x purchase planned for march/april, in too deep to fcuk it up now


  • Registered Users Posts: 6,416 ✭✭✭marcbrophy


    How many points for a £ conversion teal? :)
    It's costing 23,250 for €25 on the IE side!

    29,250 for £25, that's with some level 2 discount applied too - I wouldn't be surprised if that was only good for first redemption and it goes up to full "price" (31,000) after


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,539 ✭✭✭Treppen


    Hidden in the "show all" part at the top of the rewards app is treasure hunt 100pts. I hardly ever check there as it's usually just purchase games rewards.
