This has happened to me. They soon rectified the mistake, though. So... good luck with that.

Yup I am. I bought Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet and I got bummed I only had 1130 as a balance...then they added more...I'd like to save the rest for Toy Soldiers 2 (as from dust and fruit ninja are pointless to me) so hopefully they dont take these away.

I wouldn't have spent those points. Now that you openly publushed this, anybody could report this to Microsoft and ask you to refund them.

it started at christmas, it was a pretty big news story for a few days but if you missed that, you probably wouldnt have heard anyone mention it since its not usually very good, but this month i was expecting 510 for my yearly renewal and and some offers they did last month

I got 200 points 5 times.  I never pay attention to the rewards program so I have no idea if this has happened before.  I only notice when they send me email saying I've got something (like that unwanted Banshee code).

that sucks, i would assume that the Euro to dollar conversion is also pretty bad as well since thats the case in the UK, games and the service are more expensive and we get less but not as little as you guys.

It happened to me too!  I got 1,680 points ($21 worth) this morning and was very confused as to why at first!   
 
I still have them right at this second... not sure what I should do with them?

MS took all the extra points back from me. They did some weird notation to show it, but they didn't cheat me any. But they changed my statement so they still added 1000 points to me, but they took off 800 from the starting balance so that I end up with the right sum.
