Microsoft has launched a new Xbox Live Rewards scheme that offers players discounts according to their Gamerscore.

There are three separate reward tiers. Those with a Gamerscore between 3,000 and 9,999 will be sent a Special Gift worth 15p. Those with a Gamerscore between 10,000 and 24,999 receive the gift and are entitled to a 1% rebate on all purchases from Xbox Live Marketplace every month. And last up, those with a Gamerscore in excess of 25,000 will earn a 2% rebate on all purchases every month, as well as the birthday gift.

To be eligible all you have to do is activate the Xbox LIVE Rewards scheme on your Xbox Live Gold account. All Marketplace purchases qualify towards the rebates, with the exception of Microsoft Points and Xbox Live memberships.


What do you guys think ? Are the tiers set too high, or too low ? Are the unlocks worth it or is it enough of an incentive ? Post below

Well I'm pretty sure it's already in affect, so yeah. But there's always going to be people like that, cheating to get where they want, can't stop that, so not really a legitimate problem.

I just checked and it already showing up on the rewards site for xbox. I don't get what they mean by 2% rebate on all marketplace purchases every month?

It means they get 2 percent of their market purchase, for example, you buy a game at 10 pounds, you get 2 percent discount on that.

I think this is a good idea, as it will encourage people to get gamerscore, but people will start modding their gamerscore for discount.

I wish this would give registered users a new icon on their playercard showing which you are (contender, champion, legend).

This is currently in effect. The gift what Microsoft is offering is apparently priced at 25 cents. The rebate gives you either 1% or 2% back on your purchases, presumably in Microsoft points. I think they will add more ways to earn soon if this takes off well enough.
