It's that time again! We're big fans of the Microsoft Rewards program here at Pure Xbox, which allows you to complete tasks in order to earn redeemable points which can be spent on gift cards, donations and much more.
December 2021's "Monthly Bonus Round" challenge has just begun, and by satisfying a few easy requirements by December 15th, you can top up your account by another 2000 - 2550 points (around £2 / $2).
You'll find this punch card on the Microsoft Rewards app for console, and here's what you'll need to do:
- Complete a Microsoft Bing search on five separate days
- Complete 3 "daily sets" (accessible via Microsoft Bing)
- Earn 3 achievements in Xbox One / Series X / Series S games
- Complete a "weekly set" (on the MS Rewards console app)
- Complete a quiz for up to 50 extra points
In addition to this standard monthly punch card (which rewards 2000 points), you can take part in the new 'Top 10' punch card which gifts 500 points for getting an achievement in one of Back 4 Blood, Hades, For Honor, The Forgotten City, Cyber Shadow, The Ascent, Psychonauts 2, Scarlet Nexus, Twelve Minutes or Genesis Noir.
There's also a 'Festive Fun' punchcard available on the Microsoft Rewards website for 100 points.
If you're new to the Microsoft Rewards program, this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of obtaining points - you can also earn hundreds per-day by completing Bing searches on PC and mobile, earning Achievements in Xbox games, finding Weekly Treasures, pre-ordering specific games and much more. Check out our guide!

With the issues they had last month with the Xbox top 10 punchcard I would advise people to wait a few days before trying to complete it. Nice to see they've removed it from these quests for the Monthly Bonus Round.
I completed the Top 10 punchcard on the first day and although it gave me 2 ticks for completing it the punchcard didn't award me the 500 points so I couldn't complete the Monthly Bonus Punchcard.
Was a big issue over on the MS Rewards Reddit. Contacted support and they credited me 3500 points. 2500 for what I missed, 500 to use on the sweepstakes I missed (banked them) and 500 for the trouble.
Does anyone know whether you can now get achievements whilst playing the campaign in Back4Blood solo now?
I hate starting a game that I then have to put down for another game (in this case it'll be to play Halo's campaign day one) so don't really want to start a new game right now, but if I were from this list, it would be either the Lost City or 12 Minutes. So unless I could pop an achievement really quickly in either of those games, my only alternative is to finish Back4Blood, which I would now have to finish solo as my mate has lost interest in the game...
I did some of these this morning, playing Hades and Scarlet Nexus. Both are great games which I may not have even tried had it not being for this and Gamepass
Huh, my apologies from an earlier statement. There are articles and "heads ups" on ms rewards. I just keep missing them, it seems. Kudos! Keep up the great work!
@Fiendish-Beaver I did forgotten city. When you are going to learn about the golden rule steal from a chest and race back to the portal. Probably about 20 minutes in.
@SacredPYRO I had issues last month but had no issue with this one.
@Halucigens sweet, I'll get that done this afternoon, thanks for the heads up.
And also this is not available for me (Netherlands)
