Gamepass quests Microsoft Redeem points

Daily rewards were back up to 10 points today on the rewards site, they had dropped to 5 for the last little while. Wonder if this is permanent?

No, not at all. Its been stuck like this since I visited UK in September.

Seems like all change. Be interesting to see at end of month whether it's a positive or negative.

Rewards Hunter is retiring

Sad to see him go, but he's right, rewards aren't quests anymore, they are simple daily tasks.

I haven't had to access his channel in more than a year!

Least he's got other stuff on the go and wasn't relying on YT for income :)

Nope, not anymore anyway

I'm using the XBox Beta app and they're still there for me.

Also got a 200 point coupon when I went to https://rewards.bing.com - not sure if it's account specific or not

Yep, same here

Nah…best not

I redeemed a bunch of points back at the start of April, got close to 0 points left then I think. Checking the history, I had redeemed before that in August 2023. So between August 2023 and April 2025 (~20 months) I was able to redeem 120,000 points, so that's an average of 6,000 per month.

I know they have changed the earning abilities in the last year, but checking my rewards app I usually get:

• Use the Xbox app: 5 points x 7
• Play a PC game: 10 points x 7 (Ballatro on my ROG Ally)
• Weekly PC Bonus: 150
• Play a game on console: 10 points x 5
• Weekly console bonus: 175
• Play a gamepass game: 10 points x 7
• Game pass weekly streaks: 400 points

So weekly that's an average of 950 points a week. There's also the 2 monthly challenges - Game pass monthly 4-pack: 50 points and Game pass monthly 8-pack: 350 points. So if we average that out we get about 4,500 per month give or take. So the earning opportunities have definitely dropped off.

I do all what Dulpit said plus the searches on the Bing app for 210 points for per day so around 10-11k a month.
