It's really cool that they give GMG credit for certain tasks and achievements, and that's pretty much all I've got to say about that.

I did mention this on another thread, but I loved it at first, and then found it was ruining my gaming experience. The problem for me is that you have just a short period to get your rewards, and so I was burning through games, without really getting immersed, just so that I could reach the achievements and collect my reward. After which I would toss the game aside and put on the next one. At the end of the day I realised I was destroying a R50-R200 investment so that I could earn R2-R5 back on it. It's just completely insane. Now days the rewards aren't anything to write home about anyway, so I've pretty much given up on the whole idea. Kudos to them non-the-less for thinking outside the box.

Interesting point of view. While I admit that my gaming habits have changed somewhat as a result (do I really wanna play this game now, there might be rewards for it!) on a whole, since the amount is small its not the end of the world to miss a few. but the fact that I'll be able to buy Arkham Knight when it comes out purely because I played some of my games (some I had forgotten I had and found out I really enjoyed) is to me a VERY gnarly thing

Cashing in the rewards is awesome. I haven't quite achieved your heights, but I do have about $6 to spend on something. Now, being a bit OCD, I need to find that PERFECT game. I can't just spend it on something I kind of want, which means I'm still paying cash for games from gmg, while a credit is sitting there.... Earlier this year they had Skyrim, borderlands 2 and borderlands for $10. I'm kicking myself that I didn't use it on that.
