Using MS REWARD POINTS to download add-on from the MARKETPLACE... Is it possible?

Hello everyone!
Today I noticed that I have about 32000 reward points from Microsoft… I was wondering if would be possible to redeem 3 Microsoft gift card by 10 €; to purchase an add-on from the msfs marketplace. Thank you!

Sincerely,
Filippo

Hi Filippo!
I have used these rewards :wink:

What you have to do is use the rewards to get a MS Gift Card. For this to work, your MS Reward account must be the same as your MS/Xbox account associated with MSFS and MSFS must be bought from MS. When you redeem the gift card, that credit is put into that account and can be used for any purchases. When you buy something from the marketplace, those credits are used first. If there’s not enough to cover, it will then prompt for any additional payment.

Microsoft Rewards also allows for the option to automatically redeem a certain amount of points (around 8000, I think?) for a $10 MS gift card on the first of every month. You can either spend them or let them accumulate. They are redeemed only if there are enough points to cover it. Any gift cards will show in the Marketplace when you check out, with remaining balances applied to your regular payment method.

I did this and it is not advised - rewards gift cards expire after 3 months, so wait till you want something and then redeem the cards. I once let them build up this way and I ended up loosing 20 quid in points when it came to buying something.

In the UK it’s 5 pound gift cards that can be “auto redeemed”.

Yes you can, but if I remember correctly, only with Microsoft Store version (or Xbox version), not with Steam.

Auto redeemed in “Euro-zone” is 5€ for 4500 pts (instead of 4650 pts).

Between Reward and Gamepass Quest, easy 10€ per month ^^

Yes I used MS Rewards to upgrade my Base Sim to Premium for free :slight_smile:

Hello Philippe. I have 4500 points is that enough to purchase the HJet?

Thank you.

Do you get points with the purchases made on MSFS Marketplace or they must be purchases made on MS Store directly (so other items outside game´s Marketplace)?

Cheers

As far as I know, no.

I cash out rewards points and buy planes all the time

I am bit confused about procedure for redemption of points for purchases made on MSFS Marketplace.Each time I make a purchase some credit points are earned.I have never made a purchase through MS Store but always through Marketplace.

1/ How can I check worth of my credit points.

2/ How I can redeem those for purchasing additional add-ons from Marketplace.

I am on Xbox X series.

In case of my Marketplace purchases rewards are called Flight Sim Credits.

In the Rewards app, you “Redeem” points for XBox game cards. That puts a balance on your account.

When you go to check out, it will allow you to select Account Balance as a payment source.

Your balance is in the Rewards app, but on XBox, it also is shows on the Home screen in the upper left corner next to your achievement points.

On a web browser, go to https://rewards.microsoft.com

Log in with your MS account and you can see your point total, other things you can do to earn rewards, and you can redeem points.

Those flight sim points have nothing to do with MS points. I hope they’ll go away with FS24. They’re a weird FS-specific thing that just serve to confuse Marketplace purchasers.
