Reward Points can be redeemed on the Microsoft Rewards website or app for a variety of gift cards or subscriptions.

Rewards Points can also be redeemed for digital gift cards for a number of online stores and services including Hulu, Uber, Roblox, Skype, Walmart, Currys PC World or Ticketmaster.
North American residents can also currently put themselves in the running for a chance to win a ZOA Xbox Package, which includes one of its special edition Series X mini fridges and other items, through Microsoft Rewards.
Fans need to redeem their Microsoft Rewards points for an entry into the sweepstakes, which can be done directly on an Xbox console or via the Microsoft Rewards website.
As an avid gamer and technology enthusiast with years of experience in the gaming industry, I have closely followed the evolution of gaming platforms, including the Xbox ecosystem.

From there, until the end of May, players have the opportunity to accumulate Gamerscore, with the promise of receiving Reward Points equivalent to their earned Gamerscore, up to a maximum of 10,000 Gamerscore.
The Reward Points earned through this challenge can be redeemed on the Microsoft Rewards website or app for a diverse range of rewards, including gift cards and subscriptions. Notably, reaching the full 10,000 Gamerscore milestone by the end of May entitles players to redeem their Reward Points for various rewards, such as Xbox gift cards and Game Pass subscriptions, catering to the preferences of gamers in different regions.
Furthermore, the Microsoft Rewards program also offers the chance for North American residents to participate in a sweepstakes to win a ZOA Xbox Package, featuring a special edition Series X mini fridge and other exclusive items. The redemption of Microsoft Rewards points serves as the entry mechanism for this exciting opportunity, underscoring the program's commitment to offering unique and desirable rewards to its participants.
In addition to the Gamerscore Challenge and sweepstakes, it's worth noting that Microsoft's plans to produce and sell Xbox Series X mini fridges in the future, following an engaging Twitter marketing poll, highlight the company's innovative approach to engaging with its community and offering unique merchandise related to its gaming ecosystem.
Overall, the resurgence of the Xbox Gamerscore Challenge, coupled with the diverse range of rewards and opportunities available through the Microsoft Rewards program, demonstrates Microsoft's ongoing dedication to fostering a vibrant and rewarding gaming community within the Xbox ecosystem.
For instances of gamerscore or achievement modding, Xbox resets the profile's gamerscore.This often renders illegitimate achievements permanently unlockable in the future. Depending on the severity of the violation, Xbox might issue an additional temporary or permanent suspension to the offending player's profile.
Gamerscore has never been worth anything. It has no monetary value and can't be used for anything other than bragging rights. What you're seeing from 2013 is Microsoft points. That was what Microsoft used as currency in the Xbox store before discontinuing that and using the current currency system.
When an account is permanently banned from the Xbox network, your Xbox subscriptions are canceled. Note This applies to your Xbox subscriptions only. You can still sign in to your Microsoft account and manage your payment options, devices, and other account info.
You can get suspended from using specific Xbox network features for minor offenses. For example, you may be unable to upload content or chat with other players. More egregious violations, such as cheating or harassment, can lead to your entire account getting suspended.
The achievement in question is called Day One and only very few gamers got it in 2013. It was released at the launch of the Xbox One and was available to fans who purchased the Day One Edition of the console.

G-Coin is the hard currency (micro transaction, digital currency) that coexist with BP. We developed this currency system as a way to adapt to the needs of the Xbox and PlayStation ecosystem and the absence of a Steam Marketplace. G-Coin can be purchased in the Microsoft Store and in the in-game store.
Electronic stores or gift shops are another place to sell your Xbox gift card for cash. If you know anyone around, all you need to do is carry your gift card to their store, inform them of your willingness to sell, and get ready to bargain, as they want to purchase it from you at the most discounted rate possible.
Once you've redeemed your Microsoft Rewards points for Microsoft Points, you can use them to purchase games, movies, music, and more from the Xbox Store.

It's possible your Xbox account or profile settings could have achievements disabled or configured incorrectly. Double check that your achievement tracking is enabled properly across your devices.
Modifying achievements or gamerscore is unfair to players who worked hard to earn theirs. Likewise, it's not safe to use unauthorized software to modify the contents of your Xbox profile. The use of such can lead to security risks for the Xbox network and your Microsoft account.
Once earned, an achievement awards you Gamerscore points. You'll get as little as 5 Gamerscore for easy achievements, or several hundred for tougher challenges. Most titles include 1,000 total Gamerscore in the base game.
If you completed an achievement or challenge while offline, you won't receive related notices or rewards until you connect to the Xbox network. Make sure that your console is connected to your network equipment (such as router, modem, or gateway), and then press the Xbox button to open the guide.
