Forums - Microsoft - Microsoft Gifting Microsoft Points & Zune Discounts to Xbox LIVE Members

Electronictheatre

Recent reports suggesting that Microsoft are offering members of the Xbox LIVE service free Microsoft Points in the US have seen many gamers with a free account receiving 80 Microsoft Points out of the blue. Today however, Electronic Theatre has received confirmation that the promotional activity is even better for Gold subscribers, and that it has now come to the UK.

As a loyal Xbox LIVE Rewards Gold member, you've been nominated from thousands to receive elite access to VIP Exclusives - a limited-time offer from Xbox LIVE Rewards.” Stated the e-mail received by a team member of Electronic Theatre this morning. “We're rolling out the Red Carpet in honour of Hollywood's biggest movie

night with these exclusives just for you.”

Offered a passcode within the e-mail, users are directed to the Xbox LIVE VIP site for their free 100 Microsoft Points. What’s more however, simply by visiting the Xbox LIVE VIP website members of the Xbox LIVE service are entered into a prize draw with the chance of winning one of four prizes, including a Zune HD, 12-month Zune Pass, Windows Phone 7 handset and a Kinect Sensor for Xbox 360.

This promotion is available now to selected Xbox LIVE VIP members, and also presents hints that many more promotions may be on the way.

Sounds very nice.  A freebie is always appreciated.  :)



I got the 80 points but it sucks you have to use them so soon.



I got 100 points, added to the 240 I got from the rewards program, I'm almost 1/2 way to a game!

How long do you get to spend the points?

How many are you owed? I think you have to hit a minimum of 200.

I got mine on the 10th. They just appear in your points balance, no code to redeem.
