Although Microsoft Rewards has suffered a few drawbacks across Xbox and beyond recently, we've definitely seen some improvements over the past week-or-so. The highlight of this seems to be a brand-new "Weekly Console Bonus" feature that has begun appearing for some Xbox users, and it includes a pretty fantastic reward!
Earlier today, this new feature was reported in the Microsoft Rewards Reddit community, along with evidence showing that a user could earn 500 points for playing Xbox Game Pass on a console over four days this week.
This seems to be a very new addition to Microsoft Rewards (most people haven't come across it yet, including us here at Pure Xbox), so it'll be interesting to see how widespread it becomes, as well as how points it continues to offer.
If you want to see if this new "Weekly Console Bonus" is available to you, you'll need to head over to the Xbox app (not the Game Pass one) on Android or iOS, and then hit your little profile icon and scroll down to "Earn Rewards".
As mentioned though, most people don't seem to be spotting it yet, so it might take a while to roll out. In the meantime, don't forget to complete various other Xbox Game Pass Quests such as the lucrative "Play with Friends on PC" task for hundreds of points - and make sure you stay on top of all your other Microsoft Rewards dailies and weeklies as well!

Mine is for 250 points for 4 console uses. Just showed up today, so I'm unsure it it will double in points like the jewel game and pc game rewards.
I also have a new 5 pt reward for just playing a game on console.
Just checked. I don't have this yet. But 500 points per week just for playing the console doesn't seem like it will be a permanent fixture.
Can't see this in the UK yet.
I think it would be a good idea for people to be able to add their profile pic county of origin and also which console they use (360, S or X, etc).
All optional infomation of course.
@johnK I'm in the US and on Series X.
I've been playing Lies of P for the past week, @FraserG (great game by the way!). I completed it yesterday, and when the achievements popped at the end of the game, I also got 500 reward points, along with the ones for playing a Game Pass game and the weekly one. Very unexpected, but pleasing surprise... 😊
@FarmDog08 Thanks but that statement for more for the page designers to add, to me this info could be displayed underneath their profile picture.
I'm in the UK, @johnK, and am playing on a Series X. I got the 500 points yesterday evening...
@Fiendish-Beaver The new weekly console bonus? Or the monthly Quest Dedication?
I honestly do not know, @johnK. I've never received a 500 points bonus before, so assumed it was the one being discussed. Is there a way to find out?
@Kaloudz regarding the points to read articles & Bing money bags I did not get them either, then upgraded my phone from a S21 Ultra to Pixel 8 Pro, I instantly got the read news article points & Bing daily checkin money bags on my pixel 8 Pro. Coincidence? I don't know, but I think this might also depend on what device you use??
I'm in the US and I'm not seeing this extra reward tracker. Pretty cool though.
(Using the app on my Google Pixel 6 Pro phone)
Some USians had their best-in-class point generation hindered, then recently restored, and now this.
Meanwhile we foreigners gotta make do with what we get. Sometimes our changes are lateral rather than buffs or nerfs, like the new requirements for the 1000-point monthlies.
On console it shows I get 250 points PLUS another 250 points for being a Game Pass Ultimate subscriber. 500 points total per week. Hopefully that translates to 4 opportunities per month for 2,000 points.
@Kaloudz I went back to the Bing app on my S21 Ultra & I don't have the points for reading news & daily check in money bags, while it shows on my Pixel 8 Pro.
So it is weird that my account has different reward points available depending upon what device I use.
you get about 300 points a day from mobile app = 9000 a month
100 per day and 4x 500 bonus = 5000 a month
is actually a points nerf
It's looks like as weekly bonus in cheap free-to-play mobile game.
I'm from the UK & I have 250 points + 25 points for been a ultimate member totalling 275 points a week
