10$ card
Yep. You can also redeem for Target or Walmart.
I have 350K stockpiled, usually just use them to redeem 25.00 gift cards when I'm making a purchase. When my GPU subscription expires I'll use them for that, and continue to keep saving so hopefully I have enough to get the next Xbox from the MS store for free when it releases.
Didn’t know the last part. Makes sense I suppose but good to know.I make a point of aiming to fulfil the Weekly Rewards section because it’s worth 2500 after a set number of weeks (does it go higher than that?)
I can be a bit of a chore some weeks, but 2500 is basically £2.50, which is £10 a month for very little effort.
I was stacking my GPU until I realised it’s already at 2.5 years, less cross that bridge when I come to it! So I just redeem them for cash to buy games.
It sucks that the voucher cash is only valid for 3 months though, so I only redeem when I actually want to buy something.
Yeah, I looked it up before I did the monthly auto-sub thing.Didn’t know the last part. Makes sense I suppose but good to know.
Are people seriously wasting their precious time for pennies? While hating on play to earn NFT games?
I literally do nothing except log in to the rewards app every Tues and do the 2 second stuff for the weekly missions. The rest I get by playing my games, buying stuff and going about my regular business.Are people seriously wasting their precious time for pennies? While hating on play to earn NFT games?
my ms rewards are mostly automated so i don't really waste time on it besides the little bit of setting it up.Are people seriously wasting their precious time for pennies? While hating on play to earn NFT games?
This. I got Lost Odyssey "free" this week in fact.I use them on deals. I even got some games for free this way.

Nothing, I don't get em.

anyway, probably not the best way to use them but I just redeemed 3 years of XBL gold (for 240k points I believe) and am planning on renewing game pass thru the 1:1 conversion soon. then i occasionally redeem a $5-$10 xbox gift card if i see something i want.

Facts.Time mustn't be that precious when there's people on here with tens of thousands of posts arguing over the same old shite day in, day out.
Saying it takes ten minutes a day is a massive exaggeration. The most time-consuming part is that every other week the Xbox app asks you to get three achievements, which can be irritating. The daily searches take more like a minute or two.Are people seriously wasting their precious time for pennies? While hating on play to earn NFT games?
Pressing a few buttons on xbox is a waste of precious time for you?Are people seriously wasting their precious time for pennies? While hating on play to earn NFT games?
Very cool. At least for the bing searches, I just bookmarked almost every sub-category off of news.bing.com . Every morning, I just load up Edge and right-click > Open All bookmarks. EZYeah, there are all kinds of ways to automate some of this. I wrote a simple C# program to knock out the bing searches. Here is the code if anyone wants it. You'll need an XML data source though.
C#:XmlDocument doc = new XmlDocument(); doc.Load("gamedata.xml"); int count = 0; int totalcount = 0; Process p=null; int maxsearch = 35; foreach (XmlNode node in doc.ChildNodes[1].Cast<XmlNode>().OrderBy(elem => Guid.NewGuid())) { if (totalcount == maxsearch) break; totalcount += 1; try { string game = node.Attributes["name"].InnerText; p = System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("microsoft-edge:https://www.bing.com/search?q=" + game); count += 1; if (count == 5) { Thread.Sleep(5000); count = 1; } } catch(Exception ex) { Console.WriteLine(ex.Message); } }
What's your daily routine like for tasks? Im in the process of setting one up for myself, would love any pointers.My search streak is 275 days so that's how long I've been taken Microsoft Rewards seriously. I wish I'd gotten on the train sooner. I'm banking my points now (almost at 140,000 and mostly earned this year) but last year I bought $30 in store credit at 26,250 and six months of Game Pass Ultimate at 70,000. I think I'm averaging about 18,000 points per month. That would mean a little less than eight months of earning would get me a year of Game Pass Ultimate and another 70,000 points to do with as I like.

Hmm maybe. Haven't tried it, it may kill my phone LOL. I'm not sure if it would properly run in the background though because when I open all those bookmarks in Edge (desktop), it takes like 5 or so minutes for all the points to actually come thru and register. For mobile, I just pick one of the "top" headlines when you click on the URL/search bar in the Bing app and just backspace->enter, backspace->enter, etc to get the ~20 or so searches.Ha! Nice. Big chunk of points right there with next to know effort. Can you do that with the Edge mobile browser too? I ported my code to Android and run it separately.

As for the points, gonna bank them for a bit since I'm on GPU till late 2023 already, maybe some amazon GC to get PS5 games (LOL) but thats about it.
