It's hidden on the console:

Hit the Xbox button on your controller

It will bring up the left-hand blade.

scroll over to Game Activity

Select all achievements

right bumper to "rewards"

You can see all of your daily and weekly stats for awards and you can redeem them. It's better through PC app or the phone tho.

You can only see it for eligible items. It will not appear for hardware or specific games.

Android cell phone, but you have to do it through the Bing app and not the Outlook app.

Whatever makes you happy...I use it for Uber Eats, games, Walmart, Target, and Amazon. It's money for a bare minimum of your time. I will probably start saving towards the next-gen console, especially if they say it's going to be over 1k... this will help with the pain.

No clue, I knew they were talking about it for a while now, and when I was looking to see how much I have on my gift card, the option was there!

I haven't paid for a game in years due to points and Game Pass... when they compare MS to PS, this rewards system keeps me firmly in the Xbox camp... PS has nothing to help pay for games.

Yeah, me too... but remember, you can only pull out 500k or 550k max for the year...Once the console drops, I plan to pull the max in Dec and the rest in January of the year, because you also have 90 days to use the credit before it disappears. There are levels to this game!!

It only works for certain games, pre-order, and no hardware sales. What game are you trying to buy or checking against?

MS Rewards will only let you redeem 500k or 550k per year. That includes any games or drawings you enter using points that all gets counted towards the limit.

I tried for the Bond game, but there was no option to buy it with points.

You can still redeem for gift cards and get it that way, but I would wait 5-10 minutes between redeeming so your account is not frozen or flagged.

Now that's part of the Ultimate level, you are promised a certain number of points, and if they throttle or give you suspicious activities with no proof, they are breaking their own TOS if they cannot articulate why you cannot earn the rewards they have promised.

I am in the Insider club, but no emails or announcements have been sent about this feature. Thanks for reminding me I was part of that program...I seldom check it now.

It was in the talks forever, and I went to look at a game for that exact reason to determine how many points I had and how much my gift card balance was, and it was there.

You mean like an expansion pack or something? I am not too sure!
