But I was not automatically credited the 800 points you get for buying them all.. I understand it doesn't say it will be automatic but it also doesn't say when you'll get your free 800 points. Does anyone know when I'll get them? A google search hasn't helped me at all.

IIRC, a buddy said it's quite a while yet my friend. Some weeks even.

Microsoft will keep your precious Microsoft points for weeks if not months

I beleive there was an end date by which you must have purchased all the games in order to recieve the points, my guess is that end date or soon after. Don't know when that end date is though. 
 
Also, in case you are outside of the US, the offer is ONLY open to people in the US, otherwise I would have bought Turtles and got it essentially for free. As is, I will not be buying turtles.

It's not just open to the US, it's also in Europe, and I imagine Canada and Australia too, but I'm not 100% on that.
It does however explicitly state that you'll get the points when the Summer of Arcade promotion ends, on September 1st.

@WinterSnowblind: Got any links? When they first announced the offer it was for US only, and I haven't seen any changes to that. I've bought all five but live in the UK.

They advertised it here too, but the fineprint on the offer specifically stated US only, although I havn't checked it recently it might have changed.

That deal would have been worth it had it not been for Turtles in Time.  That's like blowing 800 pts just to get it back.  I wouldn't play that game even if it were free.  Bring the kick ass original back, the new one has no soul.
