This would be great if the Microsoft points website didn't keep telling me there was an error processing my request when trying to add the points.

US only, I used a US address and tried to use the code, but it would not accept, I assume that it also checks if your live account is US when redeeming the code
Mystic
It worked, thanks a lot.

In case anyone was wondering you can only do it once. If you use another email address to get a code you will not be able to add the points to the same Live ID/Gamertag.
LiGhTfast
In that case its a waste of time anyway whats 100 points get you?

You must be mad to even want to buy a gamerpic
Unimatrix Xero
code isnt working on my gamertag
InsaneNutter
I just get the error “A problem has occurred while processing your request. Please try again later.”
Im using a USA Live account and connecting from a USA IP address.

If you can only do it once per account then I don’t really see the point either wink.gif

Good find! Thanks man.

Is it me or is the UK always left out of these promotions? The US and Canada seem to get them all the time but we get diddly squat.

Maybe someone has just few enough points that they can't buy something without buying 500+ more points?
For example, if I wanted to buy a game or add-on that costs 800 points but I only have 700 in my account.

Or you could just buy gamer pics tongue.gif

Yes because 30 seconds of your time is a waste for 100 MS points? 100 points is 100 points, especially if it only takes 30 seconds to do.

That’s on http://points.microsoft.com/
It’s the only place you can register them from what I gather.

Is it actually working for anyone in the USA? Just wondering as I’m in the UK but trying using remote desktop to a server in the USA.
Mathachew
You can also redeem codes on the XBox Live website

Here's two from me

the UK never has offers like this. the number of times i've wished that a offer like this would run for UK users is immense, and i don't know why they just don't do something nice for european's like this.

anyway here's a free code for whomever use's it first

/ -Razorfold
You can tell a lot of people are just submitting random entries to get the points =P

Look at the submissions and all you see is red cars after red cars [no customizations wink.gif]
Razorwing

Its working again now, I can confirm it only works once per account however you can actually get more points:

When you sign in, click browse showroom and rate a car, you get 50 points.
Create a new car and you get another 50 points.
Do these activities each day.

The points you get from this will be emailed to you when the promotion ends from what I’ve heard



Looks to work anyway, no harm in doing a few mouse clicks a day anyway! smile.gif

No, but do what InsaneNutter said above you and you can get up to 2000 points.

Worked here (in The US Obviously)

For those saying what can you get with 100 points? Not much, but those 100 points can go towards something else, like the 480 points to rent an HD movie, so no complaints from me, free money is free money.

I tried from the xbox.com website, it didn't work, so I went to points.microsoft.com, they added fine to my Canadian account.

I am in the UK, however if you create a new msn passport account on http://www.passport.net when redeeming points on http://points.microsoft.com you will be asked what country you are in, pick USA. Now you will have access to USA only stuff and be able to create a USA Xbox Live account.

No idea if I will actually get the points but I’m on 750 now, its not exactly wasting much time creating and rating a car each day cool.gif

Rahul
They ran out of msft points

stifler6478
^^^That's too bad - I've been forgetting to do this every day, so I've only banked about 300 or so points (I think the rules said you could get up to 2000).

-Spenser
Rahul
actually i have 5 accounts & i have got 950 from 2, 850 from 2 & 800 from 1
