Xbox Live Rewards program launches

4.5
The "Xbox Live Rewards" program tested over a year ago is now a real thing. The website for the US/UK-only loyalty program is now live, and you can sign up and check out the rewards.

It's kind of like Club Nintendo, except instead of fans and tote bags, you get Microsoft Points and Microsoft Points. The bonuses range from 10 MSP for renewing a one-month membership, all the way to 400 for buying or renewing a family plan. You can also get 100 points for activating Netflix, unspecified bonuses for buying certain things on Marketplace, and an occasional 20 points for taking surveys. Microsoft also promises "cool prizes" in promotions.

As Club Nintendo users know, there is basically no downside to a loyalty program like this. You do the stuff you were going to do anyway, and then someone gives you free stuff periodically.

The idea is nice, and it's a good step, but it seems lacking in what it gives us.

Pretty good idea i reckon.
needs a bit more extra into it because theres its not enough things but could be very good.

I Like the Idea of this but it needs to be more for our money to be honest, the Microsoft points are pointless where paying for a subscription which should cover that costs of market place items and it does, msp is just another way for them to charge us.

We pay for it monthly. Why do we have to buy separate cards to unlock it and its good but shouldn't have msp to be honest
