I tried to preorder the XSX the day it was available for preorder back in 2020. Threw an error at me saying I didn't have sufficient funds when I clearly did. I redeemed points to gift cards and bought some gift cards to cover the total cost including tax. Anyway, I initially thought that this was because there was a rush to get the console and so it was out of stock. But I kept encountering the problem whenever I try to place an order when in stock. I have chatted with multiple support, received calls, etc. Nothing has helped so far. It's exactly the same issue as you said. For whatever reason, the system thinks you have bought a Series X from the store even if it's not successful and so it doesn't let the order go through when you try again any other time.
In the uk you can get vouchers for pretty much anything, rewards have paid for half my steam deck
It sometimes disappears and comes back. Last weekend, those Feed tabs disappeared for me (also US), but were back the next day.
Well damn, that sucks...
I'm not sure I've understood. Correct me if I'm wrong... Sooo, you couldn't buy the SX with you account's funds, but managed to buy the console with your CC and then cancelled the order and couldn't buy the SX again when you tried to pay with your MS account balance. Is it correct? If so, I think it is "half a bug" because your second attempt at purchasing the console went through. The only problem I see here is that the system doesn't register the cancellation and blocks you from purchasing again. Check in one month and see if you're still stuck.

I can always redeem another card, add it to my account and change the payment method on Amazon to fully use my credit.
Worst case scenario, you cancel the order and make a new one using the credit.
In my entire experience of doing this (twice), the first day was to play a Surf game in the Edge browser for 50-points. Today was 30-points to look at MS Edge Themes for the browser. This takes little time and it is working in Canada - not always the case with the way MS gives out Reward Points.
I got the 50 point task the first time I tried it last week but I haven't had it come back yet.
If you don't mind me asking, what's the procedure? Do you pre-order the games, and then cancel the pre-order right after the funds have expired, or do you cancel them near the next month's supposed expiry date?
Well, I place the order and then cancel it. I do that until I have covered the total amount on my account. Do that and it will extend the expiry date by a month. You can only do this after you get the funds expiring soon email, otherwise it won't extend.
Got it.
Well, as expected the support wasn't very helpful when I called them again early this morning. They keep telling me that they'll forward the case to the tech support and all the usual bs. Today, I almost lost it. I think I will contact some pro bono consumer protection association, this afternoon, hoping they can actually do something to help (unlikely).

Lol came to say the same thing, took like six times opening the app before I finally got the 75 points.
Downloaded and it partially works, because I can't do the weekly activities, they show as a black window and if I click on them it says invalid url.
