Xbox 360 now offering rewards based on Gamerscore
Now Microsoft has confirmed that getting a high Xbox 360 Gamerscore can also generate some real rewards. The company has launched a new program called MyAchievements which will give Xbox 360 gamers even more of an incentive to play and get a higher score.
Everyone who gets a Gamerscore of 3,000 and above and is a member of MyAchievements will receive some kind of special "gift" for their birthday. The fine print says the gift will be priced around 25 cents so we suspect that it's some kind of Xbox Live avatar gift item. People who reach the 10,000 Gamerscore level will receive a one percent refund on any Xbox Live Marketplace purchase every month.
For the truly dedicated Xbox 360 gamer, Microsoft will offer a two percent monthly Xbox Live Marketplace rebate if they reach the 25,000 Gamerscore level. While the rewards may be pretty small, it's still better than nothing and it's possible that Microsoft might add to the MyAchievements program in the months ahead.

ArrowFrog Wow those rewards are seriously pathetic! =/
True that! Such a greedy company. Could Microsoft not have a team of devs create some cool icons to add to our profiles (like call of duty prestige but for gamerscore) and rewards such as select marketplace XBLA.
25 cent birthday present LOL!
Its ok though because Microsoft sent me a free jasper xbox by mistake so thats a good enough rebate...
I know, they are a multi billion dollar company and all they give us is pathetic prizes.

This is absolute bullshit.
I got caught 2 years after modding my Gamerscore (I hate myself for doing it; thought it was "cool" at the time), and this is basically promoting it!
Enforcement team and Microsoft/XBOX is becoming such crap.
