LethalEdge Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 It seems its a Xbox Rewards glitch, I was due to get 280 points this month but instead got 280 x 5! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattyHustedUk Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 yeah i got 480 x 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrrk Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 That explains it! I had 1760 (of my own points) last night, but this morning I had 2500, then I checked again earlier and I had 2760. I'm wondering if they'll try to take them back, should I spend them now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vladster Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 So far today.. I've been given 6x 220 points Is it safe to spend these or will Microsoft frown upon it and dish out a suitable punishment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niko da bos Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 hopefully when i get home they throw some free points my way! lol, i spend too much on pointless xbl marketplace stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RsHu Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Well I kinda feel left out right now.. Havent got any of the random Microsoft Points today. Is it only if you have pending Rewards you should be dealt? Cause I know I only have 80 on my Rewards right now so its not time for mine to get here. Wish I got some today though!

I know I've spent more than 1600 points on game add-ons, but never got the little 'reward'. (Bought the New Vegas DLC, the MK Season pass. Probably about 30 songs on RB3...) Aah well, I've been sittin at 2100 points for about 2 weeks now, doubt I'd really need / spend any more any time soon, haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Kitteh Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I wish! You know that if they owed you points they would take forever to get them..lol. Pretty sure at some point they will take them back, I wouldn't bother spending the extra ones. Kind of a bit off topic, but didn't they announce a while back you would be able to "gift" ms points?

VladimirK Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Yeah, this is exactly what I came on to check. Just earlier today I had 200 MSP, signed in there and now I'm up to 1880MSP. Also, nice name Vlad :biglaugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danowat32 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 5 x 110MSP for me, can MS take these glitched MSP's back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RsHu Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 5 x 110MSP for me, can MS take these glitched MSP's back? If I were you, I wouldnt wait around to find out. I would have these things spent on something. Whether you need some DLC for a game or just some more Arcade games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard-1 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 I thought something was up but couldnt remember how many points i had to start with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trouble is, I have nearly 5000MPS's, so even if I spent the glitched ones, they could still take them back, there is no way I am spending the whole 5000MSP!!!!

I'm in the same boat m8....1 had 2780 this morning but when i looked this afternoon i had 4100 I've been waiting on some decent DOTW's to spend them but they have been shite recently. I aint spending them just for the sake of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Freefall Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Me too. I know I've spent more than 1600 points on game add-ons, but never got the little 'reward'.

Aah well, I've been sittin at 2100 points for about 2 weeks now, doubt I'd really need / spend any more any time soon, haha If your referring to this months incentive deal, then you should get your 160MSP 96 hours into next month, thats how it worked with the buy 2 800+ arcade games last month I came across this happy little glitch when i came home from work today, got 440x5 i think, so i now have 2600MSP, no idea what to buy though :S Did some digging,someone over on giantbomb said they called MS up about this, and they said that its their error and will not refund points, hopefully they keep to that http://www.giantbomb.com/forums/general-discussion/30/im-getting-free-ms-points/510091/?page=4 "All I know is I called Xbox support and after 20 minutes on hold they couldn't figure it out and said they're now considered mine" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MxPx Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 Maybe they're just deflating the value of the points? Microsoft must have increased the MS point credit ceiling. [nerd joke] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arrrk Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 That is pretty awesome. Shame I only got it 3 times though, I would have loved to get 6 like some of the others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

danowat32 Posted August 11, 2011 Share Posted August 11, 2011 (edited) Where do you guys see this ____x5 (or whatevs) ? Go to https://billing.microsoft.com/home.aspx and sign in using your XBL login, you will see them there. As for them taking the glitched points back, I am sure they will, the T&C's are tighter than a ducks ass.......http://rewards.xbox.com/terms-and-conditions/ , lots of scope for removal there Edited August 11, 2011 by danowat32 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
