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.

what website is this on

does anyone know how we sign up for this? looks good.

and just a note, think about it logically, if microsoft gave more than 40 points per person and 100,000 people singed up microsoft would be paying out 4 million microsoft points and it would cost them hundreds of thousands of dollars/pounds. so for something that you do anyway 40 ms points is a nice little reward :)

This is a brilliant idea into getting more to buy marketplace content and to any trolls. The points will count themselves, trust me.
