Weirdly, despite not being one of the ten games listed, Hades works for the 500 point Top 10 punchcard.
Nuts 'n' Bolts didn't work for me yesterday, but unlocking an achievement for Hades ticked it off.

Ah, my favorite Rewards 'fix' when there's an achievement issue. ANY achievement works!
In the past when they had them for State of Decay 2, they had SPECIFIC achievements to get points, but it had issues, so they changed it to work with anything.
Yeah, that's the game I used as well via Rewards Hunter suggestion.
Still haven't gotten a response back from Rewards support. No progress since I opened a ticket with them last week. Pretty frustrated at this point. I've sent them 3 messages in a row now over the past 5 days without a response.
It's fixed now or it just didn't appear yet when I looked before.
Been a few weird things with rewards stuff lately, various things not tracking or needing multiple clicks on the daily cards etc but hard to get annoyed when its still an easy £100+ a year of free stuff. Since getting my Series S and starting doing the rewards stuff I'm already upto 212000 points. Nuts
Also it's kind of amazing that both MS and Nintendo, if you are so inclined and with a small bit of effort basically give you the means to game 100% for free. MS with rewards and Nintendo with platinum points (can easily get 20-30 get physical rewards a year that resell for good money).
Maybe this is why I ditched my PS5 lol

Secret Xbox Series X hardware upgrade rumored to be incoming
"Microsoft is working on a smaller, more power-efficient chip" for its flagship console according to a journalist

Well, I guess I know what I'm going to be putting my points towards in the near future!

Same here. I have £140ish since last June. In 2-3 years time that could almost be a free console.
That's my plan too (though I already have an XSX) - currently sitting at 263k so I should be easily around/over £250 by the year's end.
Perhaps with a more efficient build process and once both XSX and PS5 are readily in stock we might also start seeing price reductions. I have to imagine that getting XSX to $400 rather than 500 must be in the cards over the next 3 years.
I got a Series S (my choice as Xs were available). Ride game pass and MS rewards for a few years then upgrade to the better console.
If it's just a PS3 Slim sort of revision then I'd keep my points for the actual mid-gen refresh whenever that eventually hits. All the funkyness lately also has me worried about the Rewards going away so I'll be a little hesitant to just throw them wherever.
It sounds like it's just a more power-efficient (and cheaper to produce) version of the existing SX. They'll probably just start shipping them in place of the existing units at some point and won't even advertise the change.
I think the title of the article sensationalizes a bit the information by Sams. All he is saying is that they are planning on a die shrink, which would make sense. N6 by TSMC is cheaper than N7 and has higher yields from what I can recall. In his own words,
This hints to a cooler and cheaper (for them) slim variant, upgrade is a bit of a stretch. MLiD has also said that's what he thinks they'll be doing rather than an actual upgrade. That's not to say there are no designs for "pro" models for both Xbox or PS, I am almost certain there are. Though that doesn't mean that these will 100% result in products, they may have them just in case they end up needing them.

Mine is the exact opposite. Elden thumbnail and text but forwards me to the Lego page.
lol i dont usually do this stuff but did 3 of the gmaes for the punchcard and still didnt pop oh well. one day ill get my free taco bell lunch
Mah ninja! Same here, though I really hope they don't further nerf the Rewards program down the line like they already did with the Game Pass quests.
Yeah, they did that recently didn't they. Measly 3 points for playing a game pass title but nothing for login into the app anymore.
Dear Lord Firewatch looks like ass on Xbox.
Was planning on playing it through again after completing the game pass quest (beat it twice on PS4) but I feel like I'm playing a Switch port here

Yeah, I remember waiting and waiting for an Xbox One X patch to finally come so I could play it again, but I think it got canned.
I just wanted to drop in and ask if the method on the OP is still the most updated way to earn and collect reward points? I know I saw something similar to this a few days ago, but now I'm looking to capitalize on it too. If there is a newer version of farming the points, can I please be let in on the deal too.
Anyone else having that issue where Bing loads plain pages instead of completed quizzes/polls?
For example, there's a task today to do a League of Legends quiz (typical 30 point challenge), but when I click there's no quiz and this is all I see.
Doesn't matter if I'm on Chrome, Edge or Xbox, so I guess it's a Bing issue.
Thing is, I've had this for the past few days which means I can't get my Daily Streaks up 🙃
I've found a solution to fire off any broken tasks.
- Use the Bing app on either Xbox or mobile and complete the challenges from within there.
Edge on Desktop is my go-to but when it's broken I'll just use Bing on Xbox/Mobile.
The UK Xbox app is getting progressively worse this week - all week I haven't had the PC Game challenge trigger despite having the Play with Friends on PC trigger and from today, I can get the opposite to happen, with no joy on making the Friends challenge trigger no matter what I do :/
At least you can partake if those frustrations. Some of us can't even get these points at all.
I've found there was just a massive lag on the play pc gamepass one - it triggered but literally 12 hours after playing something. Playing with friends was triggering pretty swiftly as usual - not tried today so fingers crossed its not borked
You know you can just VPN your phone to the UK and it'll work? I'm currently on holiday and getting my points in just fine!
That's a good way to get your Rewards account banned.
I'm already in the U.K. lol. It's not rolled out for everyone. Not even sure what the hell's going on with that tbh. Must be a tier 2 user here.
Can confirm, also in the UK here. My brother has it but I don't, it's a little frustrating.
Ah luckily it's only been one day so I'm sure it'll be ok!
Oh really? I thought it was for all us UK folk; I only noticed myself from around February.
Hey, so, uh, i redemeed one month of GPU and apparently it didn't activate on my account since i was charged for one month of GPU this month? Does anyone know where i can check if it was activated? should i send a support ticket in? if yes, where? lol
You should be able to see an order history on your account details
Microsoft.com > account details > payment and billing > order histort
yeah it isn't there. this sucks. would a support ticket help or am i just fucked? lol
Can you try redeeming the code again? Maybe it didnt process. I would hit up the chat support theyre pretty quick
i can't since it actually spent my microsoft reward points :( i'll try that, thanks
thanks to your help, i just found that there _is_ an option to resent in the request for the codes (and that the order history for MS rewards is not in the same page of your order history of bought games/payment procedures) so i tried that just now, hoping it works. Just quoting you again to thank you :)
edit: aaaaaaaand just got it! yay! thanks!!
