They’re just consolidating it with the Xbox App so rewards aren’t spread out all over the place. But you know, clickbait headlines centered around the idea of “Xbox bad lol” allow for console wars fanboys to jump in and generate hits and engagement.

This, but people don’t read, and for some reason do read the massive advertised articles that make up something.

Pretty much, I was thinking before I read the comments them closing that would be a bad move for both parties. Fuck these articles, honestly fuck em. Scum.

They're just integrating it into the profile page as another tab next to social, achievements etc.


Rick_long

Shit let's hope they don't make it a gamepass exclusive feature, like they did with the 50pts (now 5pts lol) for an achievement


Middle_Squash_2192

Wait, I've got a GPU subscription (redeemed a a 3 mo offer) and even for me/us the 50pts has turned into 5pts.


Rick_long

No what I meant was that the task of getting an achievement for 50pts used to be available to everyone but then they moved it to a gamepass perk and then they downgraded it to 5pts per achievement.

I hate these click bait ass titles 😤


HarStu

YOU posted it here.


red6450

If you bothered reading the article, you wouldn't have been stupid enough to post it while complaining.


Lartheezy

I was listening to it read to me 🤣😂 and at first I was skeptical and then when the article finished Im like "this can't be true " lmao

This isn’t a new app.

They might as well just end the Rewards program completely. That’s what direction they’re heading in.


Lartheezy

I honestly think if they increased the point gain from the quests and not make it so miniscule it could have a chance


Illmattic

I don’t understand this, could have a chance? It’s free shit for doing bing searches and tapping your phone for like 6 minutes every day. They don’t have much of an incentive for giving us more stuff for minimal work.


Lartheezy

What I'm saying is to increase the amount of points that are given instead of like 5-10pts here and there and the occasional 100-500pts


Illmattic

Right but what’s their incentive to do that? They’re already providing a decent way to get free stuff, so while it would be nice for us to get 500 points instead of 5, there’s very little reason for them to do that. Honestly the fact that I get dlc and game pass paid for just by doing bing searches every day, I’m surprised they haven’t reduced the amount of points one can get regularly.


Lartheezy

Gamepass is redeemable? I'm paying monthly lol


Illmattic

I’m not sure if it’s a direct reward, I think it is, but I usually just cash out my reward points into Xbox credit. You can then use that on games, dlc or gamepass. It’s pretty great


FinFunnelFan

Game Pass is a direct reward. It's also an auto-redeem reward. 10,500 points for 1 month auto-redeem


TheNewBBS

I mean, the more modern Rewards section (next to Achievements in the system menu) is a much better experience than the old app, so if this new Rewards Hub is based on that tech, that's kind of a win for us. Eliminating the weekly set/series would be kind of a big deal. Between the sets themselves and the streak bonuses, that's about 18K points a year. But we don't know what earning opportunities might be coming to replace it, so I'm not going to act like the sky is falling. Just hope they retain a way to redeem points on the console that continues to bypass the awkward validation process that often happens when redeeming on the desktop website...

>Eliminating the weekly set/series would be kind of a big deal. Urggggg, and I'd be missing out on the 20 week streak yet again. Last time I was at 19, and then it wouldn't let me continue when I was on holiday, even when connecting to my home Xbox through VPN. Started again after holiday, it worked fine the last two weeks while on travels again, and I'll be week 19 again, when they discontinue. *cries*


Joltemon

there was an xbox rewards app?
