I'm worried about the cards I haven't redeemed from Target's Black Friday sale. I've read of accounts being suspended from redeeming a lot of cards at once.

tlwizard

Yeah, I'm sitting on about 10,000 points worth of cards right now. Redeem now, or wait?

pinata242

That's bullshit. Way to scare your most loyal (if not profitable) customers off. I mean, as long as the codes are unique, activated, and valid, who cares?

I just hope I can still get the equivalent from Bing using their searches. If not, I guess I'll make Amazon cards my main reward.

Obviously, but they could tie them to the 360 marketplace which would also suck.

Music

You should shut your face!

Shagrath

You use MS Points for something other than 360 content? Weird.

mattysemo247

Same here. That's pretty much the only way I've gotten points over the years.

Michael Corvin

Psst... inside scoop, there may or may not be a new Xbox console announced very very soon, but you didn't hear that from me.

Sarcasm aside, my point was it would be nice if they carry forward.

pinata242

Yeah, doesn't the Wii U do that very thing for legacy "Wii" points? Hardly a foreign concept.

Krayzie

I hope Microsoft doesn't do what Nintendo did. The Wii points only work on the Wii shop.

Music

Hardly...

Krayzie

?

Sorry.. I was poking fun at Pinata...

And don't think I didn't see that fall on my face comment either Pinata~!!!

I have around 900 points and I am looking to get the CoJ game next week.

Are you allowed to wipe out your points and pay the remaining balance via paypal/credit card?

Or are you caught in a points circle where you have to keep adding points until you hit it to zero or get to a balance small enough you don't care if you use them?

Thanks in advance.

pinata242

The smallest you can buy from the website is 400 for $5. That would leave you with 100 ($1.25) after the purchase, right?

Your other option is to have been more active in the rewards program over the last year or two.

What I figured though I assume they will have to have some sort of conversion program when they abandon points in August.

MoviePage

Where's that coming from? I know there was the recent article, but as far as I know that one site was the only one that reported it, we've seen similar stories multiple times in the past, and it uses the always-suspicious "Sources familiar with" wording. There's been no confirmation of any kind.

Looks like beta in August to help the transformation for later adopters of the 720.

But eventually points will have to have some sort of conversion.

Music

720...

thelwig14

Fusion? New XBOX? Infinity?

Does it matter at this point?

Nice emoticon though.

MoviePage

Again, that's the only site where any of that is being reported, and none of it is confirmed. Is it possibly accurate? Sure.

thelwig14

Obviously, but regardless, at some point Microsoft will have to have some sort of conversion process.

Marketplace update blog is up -- a day early (presumably due to the Nextbox conference tomorrow).

Some good deals. Potentially very cheap Alan Wake franchise sale for those who don't have it yet. I might grab some XBLA games on the cheap. And Batgirl comes to Injustice -- nice.
