Think I've posted this before but its an easy 40 points a day for leaving a couple of vids on mute and a big bonus every 10 days.  Just watch them in order over 10 days then start back at the first.

I don't seem to be seeing a bonus, just the 400pts. How much is the bonus meant to be?

Can't remember off hand but it throws up a message with it in when you finish watching the vid.

[shirubagan]

I've only ever seen "Congrats, you've earned 20 points, watch the rest of the videos to earn XX points".

 

Are you watching an entire series or just the shortest ten in that list?

I farted around in the Fall Guys locker to try and get an achievement for multiple quests, nothing popped but on returning to the rewards app I’d completed a few quests that required three achievements!

I'm almost at the stage of giving up with alot of these punch cards for achievements and the daily 50pt, every time I actually bother recently nothing registers

When that happens, I leave it and then come back to the rewards app later. It should then register the points. That’s what I did the other day.

Today's this or that. Lifted from Reddit, apparently some names are very similar, so read carefully.

I always open the 50pt reward first, then go play a game for an achievement and return when I have it. Seems to work for me.

Just used over 200000 points for Amazon gift cards towards a PS5. 

 

Feels bad man. Don't think I can be arsed accumulating that much again. 

[shirubagan]

I'm saving mine to put toward the mid-gen Series X One X Series X One Series X One X if there ever is one.

I'm finding Game Pass means I don't have anything to spend my points on. I've recently gone past 100k and am aiming for 200k next. How much did you get for 200k?

Aren't you going to wait for the Series X One X Series X One Series X One X Slim?

It was a bit more than 200k but roughly £150

Can you earn reward points via the achievement/daily quests on PC, or only on Xbox?  I can't seem to find any daily challenges, etc in the mobile or PC app, where the usual daily tasks are (play a PC game, play online, use the xbox app, etc).

[Fry Crayola]

They only appear on the Xbox. You can play PC games to count towards them, but only redeem on console. It's not the best integrated system.

[Lorfarius]

There some extra points tucked away daily on the MS Shopping section. Just scroll down about half way to see Shopping Games for 10 point for every correct answer.

There's two mobile apps. The daily/weekly 'Quests' (the ones like 'play a specific game', or 'collect x things' / 'travel y distance' or whatever) show up in the Game Pass app, which is separate from the Xbox app that contains the 'play a PC game' and 'play Jewel' and those things. 

 

Then of course there's a third app (just called 'Microsoft Rewards') on the Xbox dashboard, that has its own streak and its own limited-time challenges. 

 

For any tasks that involve actually playing a game, the system doesn't care if you do it on PC, Xbox or in a browser via the Cloud. You just have to look in a few different places to receive the tasks and mark them as completed. 

[PikaStu]

The 150 points for getting an achievement in one of a selection of games… if anyone wants a super quick one, play Chivalry 2 via the cloud, start a single player game on the first map (it looks like a jousting arena).

Up ahead on the left from where you start there’s two fire pits / large torches. Just jump in one and die from the flames. Achievement earned 👍

[ScouserInExile]

Dunno if it's the same for everyone, but Weekly Treasure is up.

And again today.

[Lorfarius]

Forgot to say they are up daily.

[shirubagan]

They won’t show up for me on mobile — Bing, Safari or Ecosia. 
 

Edit: all three shit out and reset to the top of the page after a certain point too. 

[shirubagan]

Bah, it seems I fluffed a day somewhere over the last two weeks and reset my daily web streak. Oh well. 
 

Anyway, Hidden Gems easy achievement for the excellent Disc Room:

 

Rage Quit - Quit to Main Menu within 2 seconds of dying. 
 

Absolutely brilliant use of achievements right there. 
 

 

[ScouserInExile]

I think Disk Room has cropped up before, because I've got that Achievement but don't really remember playing it. I'll have to do a bit of searching on TrueAchievements to find another easy one.
