Nope, I didn\u2019t accidentally let my ellipsis run through there, that\u2019s not twenty five dollars, that\u2019s twenty five cents. What gift can be worth that? Your guess is as good as mine, but it\u2019s unlikely to blow your mind.<\/p>\n<p>If, however, you\u2019ve cracked a Gamerscore of between 10,000 and 24,999, you get a 1 percent rebate on your XBLA Market purchases each month. If your achievement hunting is starting to seem all for nothing at this point, you\u2019re right. It was.<\/p>\n<p>If you have an enormous Gamerscore of over 25,000, you\u2019re in the upper tier, and will be rewarded with an exponentially higher 2 percent rebate on your Marketplace purchases. So if you were hoping to get say, $20 worth of MS Points back, you\u2019d only have to spend $1000 on XBLA downloads.<\/p>\n<p>Oh Microsoft, you spoil us.<\/p>\n<h5>Source: <a title=\"CVG\" href=\"http:\/\/www.computerandvideogames.com\/370807\/xbox-live-rewards-offers-ms-points-for-achievements\/\" target=\"_blank\">CVG<\/a><\/h5>\n<p><strong>Related articles<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Terraria coming to XBLA, PSN \u2013 angers PC gamers\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/44501-terraria-coming-to-xbla-psn-angers-pc-gamers.html\">Terraria coming to XBLA, PSN \u2013 angers PC gamers<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"State of Decay zombie survival game announced for XBLA, PC\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/43402-state-of-decay-zombie-survival-game-announced-for-xbla-pc.html\">State of Decay zombie survival game announced for XBLA, PC<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Microsoft teases \u201cRewards based on your Achievements\u201d\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/39960-microsoft-teases-rewards-based-on-your-achievements.html\">Microsoft teases \u201cRewards based on your Achievements\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Microsoft\u2019s first free-to-play game coming in Spring\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/news\/43700-microsofts-first-free-to-play-game-coming-in-spring.html\">Microsoft\u2019s first free-to-play game coming in Spring<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><a title=\"Fable Heroes review (XBLA)\" href=\"http:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/xbox\/40406-fable-heroes-review-xbla.html\">Fable Heroes review (XBLA)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>But wait, there&#8217;s more&#8230; (there isn&#8217;t)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":165,"featured_media":41588,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_sma_x_autopost_status":"idle","_sma_x_autopost_error":"","_sma_x_post_id":"","_sma_x_attempts":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2,4],"tags":[31,2707,91,6982,847,5115],"class_list":["post-45231","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-xbox","tag-active","tag-gamerscore","tag-microsoft","tag-ms-points","tag-xbla","tag-xbox-live-rewards"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45231","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/165"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=45231"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45231\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":45259,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/45231\/revisions\/45259"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/41588"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=45231"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=45231"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mygaming.co.za\/news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=45231"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
