Microsoft’s Xbox Live Rewards scheme is offering free Microsoft Points to those who spend time with Halo 4′s multiplayer – that is, pretty much everyone on Xbox Live right now.

Assuming you’re enlisted in Xbox Live Rewards already, you have until November 30 to take advantage of the Combat Tour offer.

Those who put in over 35 hours in Halo 4′s multiplayer before then will net 100 MS Points; over 70 hours scores you 300 MS Points; and a whopping 140 hours brings in 600 MS Points.

There’s also a promotion on which will refund some points you spend on the game, again only for Xbox Live Rewards members. Spending 1500 MS Points on Halo content will refund 100 MS Points, while a spend of will earn back 200 MS Points.

Mix it up a little, if you like; putting in over 35 hours and spending 3000 points will score you 800 MS Points.

Thanks, Destructoid.

That's a lot of hours. Is this for professional Halo players? I wish my job was to play Halo.

It's a cool promotion though.

I might be able to pull off 35 hrs.

That's nearly 6 hours on average EVERY DAY.

Coupled with the free $25 gift card when completing the single player mode, you could almost make back your entire investment from just playing Halo!

$25 gift card? That's too good to be true. Please tell me the truth.

Oh wow, it's even more generous than i originally knew. Check it out: http://www.joystiq.com/2012/11/07/even-american-express-wants-you-to-complete-halo-4/

You have to have an American Express card synced with Xbox Live just to get anything.

Completing the game on normal or above takes $25 off your bill.

Finishing a Spartan Ops mission gets you a Best Buy $50 certificate after you spend $100.

Free trips to E3 for the first 25 to beat the game on legendary.

I'm a Visa man so I'm S.O.L.

You can, however, take advantage of this! Microsoft is giving everyone money for playing the online multiplayer. =)

Oh then just go to the multiplayer lobby screen and go to bed. You just technically spent the whole night on Halo Multiplayer

Yeah, that's cool. But I don't play much multiplayer and even if I did that's like 6 hours a day and I have a job.
