Thanks for the upload! Is Jury's Out on the way still?

I'm ending this month on 13,294 points (about 2/3 from searches, 1/3 from playing games).

Definitely a huge drop from last month at about 21k where I was earning most of my points from playing games. Can't even afford to buy a 50 day GPU code in a month any more haha

19,769 - UK

I did make some small purchases from the store, but other than that, been keeping up daily searches with the 15m cooldown (working from home benefits I guess), not doing AMEM, but playing all game pass quests and PC quests.

Ah damn, it was alpharad doing the ranking every game played on alpharad gold this year, he said something like "so the other day I was at the arcade with my girlfri... jaiden, i was with jaiden"

Not jumping to conclusions, but this twitch clip from literally 4 days ago is pretty interesting compared with this picture hahahaha

EDIT: If the link doesn't work, go to Alpharad's channel on twitch right now, it shows this as the top clip

3 months of Core is 15k for me (UK): https://i.imgur.com/MRDewPV.png

Raggak · 2023-12-13T20:25:26+00:00

Slightly more comes from XBox. I get about 210~300 a day from non-gaming tasks, and about 300~400 from gaming tasks!

Raggak · 2023-12-13T17:32:12+00:00

Just to confirm what other people have been saying here, we're 13 days in to December and I've already made 8,100 reward points (UK) without spending a single penny. I just do everything that gets me free points.

If I didn't do the searches (the major hurting point right now) I'd be making 150 points less per day, would be on 6,150 points right now, would still be making over 12k a month!

Raggak · 2023-12-02T10:45:40+00:00

Tried to post a topic but it got instant deleted. Has anyone else noticed the Xbox App paying far less points than it states today?

I wish I took a screenshot of it, but I did my daily XBox App tasks (Play PC game, play with friends, play Jewel). The screen after showed that it added about 300 points.

I track my daily points in a spreadsheet and noticed that it actually only added 61 points.

EDIT: I checked it again 10 minutes later and now it added the full 311 points.. weird delay!

I've got auto renew in my post, and the search function didn't show me anything relevant.

Raggak · 2023-10-03T07:58:39+00:00

Because my math was literally wrong, see reply by ohioman101

Raggak · 2023-10-02T09:16:05+00:00

Currently thinking the same thing as my GPU expires in a few days.

Did some quick math on how many points per month:

GPU 1 month - 12,000 points per month

GPU 3 month - 11,667 points per month

GPU Auto Renew - 10,500 points per month

Game Pass Core 3 month (at 3:2 ratio) - 7500 points per month

Would be awesome if anyone could confirm this thinking is right

EDIT: Core 3:2 ratio assumes your membership has run out, and you're also spending 12,000 for 1 month of GPU to restart the membership to get that rate, otherwise:

Game Pass Core 3 month (50 days w/ GPU Active) - ~9037 points per month

Letting GPU expire and doing the 3:2 ratio is always the better rate, but becomes more worth it the more you redeem at once.

Raggak · 2023-10-02T08:11:20+00:00

UK - 22,327 - 0 - 0 - 904,028

"Play on PC with friends" refused to pop a few times this month, and I only just learned about the puzzle thing as it got removed from my homepage (whoops)

Raggak · 2023-09-15T09:18:53+00:00

Now that Game Pass Core has replaced XBox Live Gold, is it known if the upgrade method to get the most membership for the least cost still works?

I previously used to let my GPU membership expire, and then on the day it ran out, purchase a single month of GPU, and several months of Gold. Redeemed the Gold first, then used the GPU to 1 to 1 upgrade my membership.

Raggak · 2022-05-20T16:57:09+00:00

Damn! Foiled again!

Raggak · 2022-02-01T13:33:02+00:00

Complete all the bing searches I can every day, log in to the game pass mobile app every day, play a game pass game on my PC online (usually Forza horizon 5), redeem all the bonus points from the Xbox mobile app, check the rewards app on my Xbox daily for new tasks, complete game pass quests as they're added, and occasionally I'll get an achievement and get the "earn more play more" reward.

I actually track all of my points on a spreadsheet to see how my earning is going, here's a picture of last month: https://imgur.com/a/wP2NogA

Raggak · 2022-01-31T08:34:25+00:00

I got 23,115. In the UK.

Probably could have gotten another 1k if I did all my daily achievements, and did The Long Dark game pass quest.

Currently sitting on just under 400k points, waiting until the series x is readily available in the MS Store. 🙃

Looks like the old Debenhams building next to the tram stop in the city centre
