Call Of Duty: Black Ops II Revolution Rewards (Xbox 360)

Quote from sggrant323 : Quote from Broncozell :after reading this thread, and knowing I purchased the season pass and map pack in January I figured I'd contact Microsoft and ask them about it. Not only did I get the 400 points for the season pass she gave me 800 points total. Image of my account history is attached. good luck! What did you say to get them to give you the reward. No luck for me with the first rep.

There is the posibilty that the guy just bought 800ms points :/

That may be, but I put the screenshot on the web for the next rep, so I can paste them the link...

Just tried the live chat. They told me that I will receive an e-mail if I was eligible :/ Then they told me I should try to contact Xbox Live Rewards directly, and gave me a link to their forum (apparently its the only way to contact them).

Looks like there's already a thread there with people complaining about this :p

Sorry i thought it didnt post my last post im new to the thread haha

For those who haven't already bough the dlc, Best Buy is having a promotion where you buy a 2000 MS Point: Halo Map Pass card, you get an additional 400 MS Point card for free. Before anyone asks, you don't have to spend it on a Halo Map dlc, it's just promoted for it. You can spend the 2000 MS Points however you like.

we are screwed. they are not gonna give everyone who bought it already 800 points. thats a lot of money haha. very ymmv if u get lucky with a rep. I'm not gonna waste my time.

I bought 4000 ms points for 43$ (in diff thread) and put that on my friends account and bought it on my Xbox so we both get it. I also split the cost with him! And the 400 ms points back so sweet deal if you go that route.

I'm down-voting this, not because of any hate for Call of Duty (I quite like BO2), but because this "deal" is worded such that it sounds little better than a scam by Microsoft.

First, they're giving you a rather lousy incentive (10%) to purchase 80% of the content sight-unseen, and that incentive is limited by the total number of points they're willing to give away. There's no indication that you'll be notified prior to purchasing if the 10M points have already been exhausted, so you may have been induced to make the purchase under false pretenses.

Normally I wouldn't be so skeptical of such a deal, but Microsoft's microtransaction marketing strategy and pricing scheme over the past 7 years demonstrate a tendency to treat customers as unintelligent walking wallets rather than people they wish to engage in repeat business with. The entire points system is set up to: 1) encourage consumers to over-purchase by preventing paying for items directly, leading to odd lot amounts of points; and 2) make customers think that the actual cost of the content they're purchasing is 20% cheaper than it really is (i.e. 800 points = $10, for no logical reason whatsoever other than to try to confuse the less mathematically-inclined).

If I bought the points it wouldn't say credit. I just brought up the deal, she checked my account and credited it to me. I didn't work very hard...I guess it is YMMV...I don't post here often but have no reason to lie...

I agree with you. 15 or 20%, then that's better. And I would want them to at least TELL you that you're going to get it. Have like a "X points left" meter at least. I have to wait until my Best Buy points come tomorrow or Saturday to try. Hope it's still available then but who knows. 10 mill is a lot of points though

I also got the 4000 pts for $42.99 on another site so I could buy the map pass for my son.

When do the 400 pts get added to the acount?

Should I expect an email or something, or will they magically get added on?
