Game Pass

You can get ultimate for free too AFAIK, but you need to have game pass to do it iirc.
And no, it doesn't convert 1:1 any more, it's now 3:2. Have a look at cdkeys to see if they still have some gold, or if core is cheap then you should be able to convert it with an ultimate.

PC game pass I don't think can earn you much, but maybe an Xbox and some Xbox specific ones.

PC game pass reward cost is 7,750, I get about that in a month just doing the searches and things (I wrote a script to automate them), but for the normal daily activities can't really script them so just something I try and do with morning cuppa tea.

Highest single point earner is play a pc game with friends afaik, I think you now need gamepass to do it but not sure if there's a tier requirement. That alone is 250 points a day, if it's available to you, fire up age of empires and join a points lobby then minimise it. Generally gets it done tbh ;)

AOE1? I'll try it and see how it goes :)
 
I think either work, but I use AoE 1

It does work but looks like you get more points for extended things.

+ 100 base points just for loading into lobby.
+ 50 for being a game pass subscriber.
+ 50 for linking a social account.
+ 50 for maintaining 7 friends.

I hit all criteria except for the last one, I only have 1 friend in Xbox thing currently as I don't really play any of my Game Pass things online.

Does anyone care to trade friend additions here?
 
Bizarrely the only game I actually play with friends is FS2020 but that never triggers the Play With Friends reward. I generally load up one of the Forza games to trigger it. Don't forget you also get 25 points for playing a PC game so this al in worth 275 points daily.

Yea sorry, assumptions on my part. I can add ya, but my internet is hitting a mahoosive 32KBPS in the mountains in Italy at the moment so accessing Xbox might be a step too far. Should be back at the end of the week though, I believe my handle is RoboLoftie.
Failing that, have a look at the msrewards subreddit, there might be an Xbox name trade thread in there, or might be the place to put up a thread on there.
As @picnic said you'll also get the extra points for playing a Pc have.
If you want to stretch things a bit more, there's also a game pass app, which may give you additional points just because you've fired up AoE.
I never thought I'd get into doing mspoints Tbh, but then it just became a habit. Annoyingly I lost access to the shopping game so that's 100 points less a day. But I've managed to grab a series s and about £40/70 in Amazon vouchers so far I think in a little over a year. Since I bought 3 years worth of gamepass for just under £90 it's literally paid for itself and then some.

I thought points for playing games was only on Xbox. So just to confirm you can get an additional 275 point per day on PC with little effort? Been amassing points activity since the announcement of the acquisition of Bluzzard, have 124k. Also I'd be happy to add you and others to get the 7 friends.

I've added you :)

Sure thing, let me know your handle and I'll add you as well!

I am not sure yet how long it takes to trigger, I had to leave the game in the background for a bit wasn't like a min or two though, more like 20 maybe today. Think yesterday was quicker.

Useful to do this whilst the other points things are running. I tend to swap mine for Amazon vouchers lately.

I could save up for an XBOX but between PC and PS5 I don't really want another gaming thing to split my time between, so I prefer the Amazon ones. Before the game thing I'd get around £5 worth a month, automating the searches with a script and then doing the daily basic activities like the quizzes, I just click all the responses and hope for the best instead of putting much thought into it :)

The daily activities script I use is technically against ToS but not sure they care or can really tell.

Yes, it has to be a Game Pass game. Not just any old game.

Got a friend who's been having problems redeeming points and when he complained they told him he'd been banned for braking the T&Cs. The only thing we could see he was abusing was the daily searches. He's stopped doing this now and it appears his account is seen in good order again.

If anyone wants to send me a trust message with you Gamer Tag I'll add you. Already have enough friends but why not have more :D

The last bit is easy : you can just add anyone to follow them, they don't have to reciprocate. Alternatively, pop on Reddit and the MSRewards sub and there are usually threads for people sharing IDs for this purpose. I earn approx. 25000 points/month for a few minutes work each day ( which works out as £250/year ). Haven't paid for Game Pass in 3 years and I've already got the next 2.5 years sorted via reward points. On top of that, this year I bought D4, Starfield and the premium edition of Forza Motorsport all using MS reward points.

It doesn't, it just needs to use your ms login afaik. Used to do it with halo wars 1 on steam. :)

25k is nice, think I'm around 20k after the reductions, probably actually less now the shopping game is unavailable for me. I got the series s just as they started reducing the points on there :(

I stagger my searches and things, been doing them for a while, also user agent spoofing so it does both desktop and mobile as well. Not had an issue yet! I redeem every £10 worth so just in case I get banned at least the existing ones would have worked.

I've sent you a DM for gamertag exchange :)

I didn't want to be that guy adding totally random people lol, I'll see if I can get a few here, and then I'll have less of a gap to bridge to 7 :)

I had game pass ultimate for free for 3 years thanks to an Alienware promo that spat out free codes, I managed to sign up for a lot of those and maxed it out at 3 years.

That ran out, but with my BT internet I got another year, which expires in Feb 2024.

My parents also had BT so I think I can also redeem theirs for another year after that! if not will just spend some on PC game pass instead.

Added thanks :)

To anyone who wants to add me, my gamer tag is necailis. I don't really use it for anything so don't mind if it's public here really.

So you need to have game pass to get any points then? So you couldn't buy a game and then get some points? Can't believe I didn't know about this, been doing the points for 19 months, but to be fair it does imply that it is just for console.

When I first started I did consider completely automating the process as I am a programmer and have created a bots for Steam sale cards and quite a few other things, so it wouldn't have been that difficult, but I decided to do it all manually as I didn't want to do anything against the T&C.

Just checked mine after reading this and I think I’m in the same boat.
You got idea how long it took to get back in good order?

Cheers

2 -3 weeks I believe. He did raise a dispute with MS, he also changed his contact number to a mobile. Something to do with VOIP landlines not being able to receive MS's text messages I think.
 
They enforce a valid mobile number I think, stops you trying to multi-account easily. I don't do that anyway. Might be part of why they banned him before.

For anyone who wants to add some random friends, I found a list here: https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxone/comments/1skurs/deleted_by_user/

Some of them have many thousands of followers, so can just add and they are unlikely to care/see it anyway.
