Also, the search 3 times for 7 days also used to be 100 points on the 7th search, it’s now 50.

Just saw that the Xbox year in review shows you your Rewards points too.
How did you all do? Looking at you

203,061 for me.
Scratch that, I was looking at the wrong area.

Going to be a lot lower in 2025 since I don't have Xbox any more.
The responses are brutal

They probably got butchered over DM's on twitter.

I’m sure they’re constantly butchered via DMs for some shit they do. This is Microsoft after all.

Yes.

I have to say with the recent changes the points are racking up quite fast! Which can only mean one thing, ...they'll be nerfed next month or so!
Yeah, it's a little too good to be true lol.
Especially when you get the 4 week streak, you'll be getting +400 points every week till infinity.
Something's gonna give soon.

'Yeah it's been like that since the new streak.Does everyone’s new daily look like this?
Day 6 is half for me.
Day 6 has always been half of day 5 and 7 for some reason, they need to tally it up to whatever that week's streak is, I guess.

I thought it just reset after week 4?

Nope, they're being uncharacteristically charitable with it.
You just gotta make sure the streak keeps on going.

Or they don’t fuck up the app / claiming of points so it resets for you…

Good timing for me.

I'm trying to figure out if Game Pass Ultimate is worth the points vs PC Game Pass. I rarely ever use streaming these days and that seems to be the big difference.
Here is the breakdown:
Game Pass Ultimate is 11,666 per month (35k/3)
PC Game Pass is 7750 per month (no 3 month option)
Difference is 3916 per month. If the new quests would generate enough points to cover that difference then I'd probably do it, but I'm not seeing it. My GPU sub ends in March so I have until then to figure it out, but right now I'm leaning on downgrading to PC Game Pass. Especially considering the fact that I have to remember to claim points on Sundays. I think Microsoft overcomplicated this shit.

Ehh just go with PC then. If it's not worth it for you at first glance, it probably isn't imo. This is coming from someone who doesn't give a shit about quests though. You can always switch back if the quests become better (LOL). 4k per month savings would add up quickly though.

Various international locations are seeing price drops when buying gift cards with points, i-e they cost less points now.

Looks like the Reward prices are increasing in the US, where they're decreasing in the rest of the world.
New Auto Redeem tile for GPU shows it at 17K points.

I still see the old one's too, the old one's are probably gonna get phased out soon.

Is there even enough to get 17000 points per month?

I doubt it. I'm downgrading to PC game pass next time around either way. Hopefully it stays cheap

Doesn't seem like it. This month is a little shorter obviously but I'm only at 12,199 with 7 days left.

I remember getting close to 30k some months depending how the bonuses would land. They’ve cut 10K points a month easily. It’s still been a good program though.

Man, I was looking for where it showed a monthly total forever! It was right there!!
"Lock in your Level 2 status You've earned 17,399 points this month! You'll stay Level 2"
I purchased the Avowed Deluxe upgrade for $22.49, so that might have boosted my points by a little bit. Other than that, just doing the Rewards website, Xbox app for jewels game, PC/Console dailies, and the Bing app.
Still free with a little leftover.

I'm at just over 10k this month. After the point hike, I probably will just have enough for PC game pass every month.
Think I'm going to pull back on this. Might let game pass expire and then only use the points when there is a game I want to play instead of staying subscribed every month.

I'm up on GP till 2027 so no rush to get any codes.
But I've been steadily amassing a large amount of points, it should be paying off that $1000 Xbox all by itself by next year, lol.

Isn't there a ~$500 limit per year on redemptions? Regardless, mighty brave of you to keep so many points. I'm afraid one day they'll just axe the program altogether lol
adamsapple

I legitimately do not know, will look it up later.
And I hope they would give people an advanced notice before axing it, otherwise they'd be looking at a class action lawsuit if they just take away all those points from people without any notice.
