I think Honey is just discount codes, no?

Not sure if it's available in Ireland but I do remember using something very similar before I fecked off over here.

TCB is literally free money back for stuff I was already going to buy e.g. car insurance, utilities, clothes etc etc (I see that I got £16.53 back on £315 mattress purchase last year). I've currently got £200 accumulated and they give 10% bump if you redeem as xbox gift cards, so that's £220 towards my SX (if they ever come back in stock!).

Sorry for the off topic.

Definitely not off topic... I purposefully bought a few gifts on MS store for birthday presents, I could have got it a tiny little cheaper on CDKeys/Smyths but said I'd do it for the points.
If I'd known about TCB I'd have done that too, every little helps. Speaking of which , I nearly forgot about those one4all cards in my wallet. You can convert them to Xbox too. Also Tesco points rewards.

Just thinking, if you could get a new Xbox would you keep the old one for points farming then gift the points across? Presume you'd have to have new username / account on the new Xbox... And you'd loose any older digital downloaded games on the new xbox.

So before I register with TCB do I use any email or does it have to be Xbox outlook a/c ?
Does my revolut have to be set to UK or something?

Nice headsets! I got a razer Kraken tournament as someone spotted it for €40 on here. Very comfortable.

Ya think I'll stay the long road and aim for 100k points . Do your points have a time limit? I think I saw something about that, or maybe it's just the gift cards.

Anyhow... at 59,700 .

Nice easy game that has an achievement every 5 minutes , can be done on your Android phone.

Ya I tried it for Microsoft purchases but it won't allow UK site purchase.
TCB have an Irish section but f'all on it.

You don't have to purchase from the UK site, change region once you have clicked through from TCB and it will still track your purchase




Seeing all these winner posts on reddit from the new slot machine thing on Rewards is quite annoying, why do we never get these

I clicked through from the UK site but when I went to buy on the Irish site the purchase wouldn't go through. When I turned off the TCB chrome extension it worked straight away

Ok so folks, if it's achievements you want it's achievements you'll get :pac:

17 Achievements after the first 10 minutes... there's a bucket more after and he goes through how to get them all.

The tutorial is a bit of a bore to get through, don't bother reading any of the advice just keep skipping though it then find the hidden chapter/level select room when the game starts.

Can be done on Xcloud touch with Android (no need for controller).

Are the red nose day points available for ye?

Naa

Battlefield I quest is doing my ******ing head in.

Won 3 times but still wasnt on the best team! Like wtf! Then half the people who do succeed say it never pops for their reward.

Might try again after reading whacksurfer tips. Basically .
Don't die.
Change sides to a good team.
Be a medic and heal the Shiite out of your team mates!


1) Use the server browser to find a game, not quick match.

2) Filter for the smaller game modes like TDM or rush. Anything with 24 people or less.

3) Rush is probably one of the best modes for this quest for someone that's not very good at the game. Rush forces you to play objectives, which gives you more points.

4) Squads have 5 players. In 24 player games, it's 12v12, which means there are most likely going to be 4 full squads in the game. That means if you're in one of these full squads, you have a 25% chance of getting best squad for this quest. It's rare for a squad that's not full to win best squad, but it can happen.

5) Switch squads based on how the squads are performing in the game. The winning team won't necessarily have the best squad on it, but it's more likely. I feel it's important to note that you don't need to win the game for this quest, so don't stress if your team is losing but the squad is doing well.

6) If the teams are unbalanced, and your team keeps losing every game, try to switch teams. You can do this in the squad menu when you're not alive. However, the teams have to have an even player count, or your team has to have more players than the other team, for you to be able to switch. You also won't be able to switch if the teams are full. Ex you can switch if it's 11v11 or 12v10, but would not be able to switch if it was 10v11 or 12v12 (your team is the first number). The best time to switch teams is after a round ends when a new game is about to start (people will always quit after a game). This is also the best time to switch squads.

7) Use a squad XP boost, if you have one. These are obtained from the battlepacks you can buy in the game, but are not necessary. Don't spend any real money on this (if you even can).

8) If you're playing an objective based game mode (like rush), play the objective! The game pushes people to the objectives, so you'll have the best opportunity to get points there. Arming or disarming objectives gives you a lot of points too. If you suck at killing people, throwing your body at the objective trying to attack or defend it is still a good way to get points. If you're struggling to get near the objectives, play as a medic or support class and resupply your squad or teammates with health or ammo (typically left on the D-pad, but you'll have to check your controls). You can also revive dead teammates with the medic class, which will give you points. Points don't have to come from kills alone, but kills always help. But, if you can't get kills, help support your teammates that are getting kills. It will be a win/win for everyone.

9) As others have mentioned, you need to quit the game to the main menu (after you get best squad and finish the round) for the quest to unlock. However, you do not need to do this immediately after getting best squad (I played an additional game after and it still unlocked when I quit to the menu).

​

Basically, you could game this quest by constantly switching squads/teams to get in the best squad, but there are ways to be a good teammate to increase your odds without necessarily being good at the game.

It's a pain alright Treppen, I suck the big one at FPS's and this just isn't working out for me.
Tried 4 or 5 different matches on Friday night and nothing!!

Ya another 2 hours wasted. Screw that.

Here's a question... Can you use Tesco shopping rewards vouchers to buy gift cards?

Bord Gais are doing a double boost , so €10 in vouchers will get you €20 to use in store. Haven't looked into it properly yet. My local Tesco's has Xbox gift cards.

Plenty of free space, Xbox is hard wired to the router but phone is on WiFi. Xbox app still works for remote play, just the Game Pass app can't find my xbox for remote install. Worked until a couple of weeks ago. Driving me mad.

Did you update the app?

Also there is settings in the Xbox to allow it, maybe that's changed.
Get on to customer support. The live chat is usually good.
