as per usual us Canadians are deprived of this type of service until months after launch.  Thanks for alienating your international consumers again Microsoft!

I believe the first such prize is Chris Cashman's tear-stained corpse. Enjoy!

This is pointless. You can barely buy anything with the points they give back.

Now I just need a way to earn 49 MS points and get to an even number.  Where am I ever going to spend the 51 points stuck in my account? Nothing costs that.

So you're saying that by spending $60 on this service, I get $2.50 to spend on stuff I want on the exact same service?  
And I can make up to twenty five cents for taking a 5-minute survey every month! Say goodbye minimum wage job!

The program is nice, I just wish they had started it 3 years ago when I went gold. :)

It's like a dollar off coupon. Doesn't sound pointless to me.

Are people really so indignant as to gauff at this? Sure you may not get much for some things, but its free points for a service you already use. I can find nothing wrong with this. And with a year subscription + monthly surveys  I will get a free (albeit cheep) XBLA game a year. Good deal.

 It's a shame this is only available in the US and the UK, even if you don't get many points.

Do I have to renew my gold through them or can I still get the points from a prepaid card?

Hey, why not? If they'll essentially give me free money for what I'm already doing, what's the downside?  Too bad I won't get points for all the big things because I've already done them.

I'd be happy, but as I'm not a citizen of either the US or UK, it's just a big meh for me. You're not getting my joy this time, Microsoft!

I'm signing up for this. Not because it'll make me buy more stuff, but getting free stuff for stuff I was already going to get is awesome. Stuff.

"Make your first purchase on XBox Live" huh, so can I be expecting 100 points coming my way now or do I have to buy something else? I hate non retroactive rewards, especially when they're worded like that.

1 Month = 10 Space Dollars but 12 Months = 200?
 
Why wouldn't you just renew the 3 month one 4 times. For 120. For 12 months.
 
Edit: Ah. I get it, Silly me. You dont spend the dollars on those things, you GET dollars for doing them....

Decent enough idea, shame it's 'opt in' rather than on by default though.

I hope this will be rolled out in Germany soon.
