Just recently Microsoft introduced real currencies instead of their previously used Microsoft Points. This also meant the end for the Xbox Live Rewards. But don’t worry though. The Rewards are back in full swing with some additional bells and whistles.
Like before you will get Reward Credits if you accomplish different tasks. You will then be able to turn those Rewards Credits into cash that will be deposited into your Microsoft account. 5,000 Reward Credits are worth 5$. The following rewards are open to both Xbox Live Silver and Gold members.
A few examples on how to get your Reward Credits:
