Buy Gold instead. You get more days per point that way. getting ultimate outright is wasting points.
Personally I think it’s an amazing feature that Microsoft doesn’t get enough credit for. Over the past two years I’ve earned enough to buy a couple games, stock up on 3 years of gold to convert to GPU for both me and my son, and by February I’ll have enough points saved to get a second Series X without spending a dime.

That’s awesome, well done!
I’m currently saving up for the elite controller. Not far off of it.

Wow, that’s awesome.
Unfortunately our version of the Rewards offer nowhere near that much points.

I’m glad you mentioned that, because I meant to add to my original comment that it’s ridiculous to me that everyone that’s a member of the Xbox ecosystem isn’t afforded exactly the same benefits.
Jez did a great article about Microsoft’s problems with localization about a year ago, and to me this is a prime example of it. If I can earn 20k+ points a month then everyone else that they are trying to draw into their ecosystem should be able to do so as well.
Didn’t mean to go on a tangent there, but this is one of those things that really bothers me about Microsoft and their seemingly sometimes half-hearted efforts in other regions.

Ok that makes sense because I’m thinking, “how is that even possible?!” and to hear that it’s different in various regions makes sense. I’m in Canada.

I’m in Sweden.
The US really is treated like VIP’s compared to Europe and other markets. That goes for everything, not only Rewards. It’s competitions, marketing deals etc.
Things have become better the past year or so though, we had xCloud early, All Access is available, Rewards (ish), Game Pass etc.
The launch of the Series X|S was day 1 as well, compare that to the Xbox One release where we had to wait a whole year, til 2014!
Yeah, in Brazil there is only one daily activity worth 10 points lol That’s excluding the points for spending in the Microsoft Store and Game Pass quests, obviously.
My country too. Microsoft rewards isn’t very good here.
Loving the rewards. Got 3 Months of Game Pass PC through rewards.
Do a month of rewards and its usually enough to redeem one month of Game Pass PC.
I’m maintaining my GPU subscription thanks to the Ambassador program. Three months of easy tasks usually net me 3 months of Game Pass + 1 month of Gold, which stack up my GPU. It could be more if I didn’t hoard my sweepstakes lol
I wasn’t aware the ambassador program has rewards. Does it offer Microsoft store credit too?
No credits.
The Ambassador Program has “Seasons” that consist of… two months, I guess? Maybe three, I don’t quite remember. During those Seasons you gain XP by completing very easy quests. The more XP you earn, the higher the tier you finish in when the season ends. Last season I finished in the highest tier and won the following:
Season 20 is currently underway and I’m 2500 XP short from reaching the highest tier again.
Plus, you gain a nice little badge on your profile.

The current 500 point EA play quest is broken. I unlocked 2 achievements like the quest asks and still nothing. Lots of people reporting the same on Reddit.
Got it to work for me about an hour ago. Got some quick and easy achievements from Peggle 2.
I’m scared to risk it just yet. I’ll hold out until it seems like it’s been fixed.
You guys have an EA Play quest?
Yeah, I think it’s in the Microsoft Rewards app on the console right?
Not here no… 
I’ve heard it’s in the US & UK. Not sure about other countries. Make sure to check the More Offers button under the Weekly Set in the Rewards app.
