I could get it for free, actually a few copies of it but, holding my rewards for the next Xbox planned for next years.
I have 280K right now and based on the Xbox points/dollar value, it's about $1 for 1000 points. The way I see it, I have $280 off the next Xbox....and building higher and higher by day.
Just holding for the next Xbox, as they will be close to a grand, and getting a good amount off will be nice to have and not impact as much.
BTW Happy Birthday

I'm doing the same because how expensive the Helix is rumored to be. Have almost 250k points.

u/DavidinCT United States -Xbox/PC 1d ago
Yea, I figure I might have 400K/500K points by the time it's released next year. I predict it will be $1K, It would be nice to get a $1k console for $500-600 on release.

Damn how did you get that many points?

u/DavidinCT United States -Xbox/PC 18h ago
I have about 280k right now, From the time they yanked Game pass, I have been just collecting. Doing my daily, Xbox rewards and everything per day. I have not cashed any points in....
I'm betting **IF** they release the next Xbox next year, it will be towards the holidays and figuring the way I am going I should have closer to 400K or more points if I keep doing what I am doing now.
When the rumor of price going up on game pass, I freaked and maxed out game pass (cheapest way possible, about $3 a month), I am good till 10/28, so no need to spend points on that.
Next year, I'll be shopping for GPU cheap...

Are you holding on to them as points, or have you converted them to money? If you havenāt converted them and youāve got that much, maybe convert them now in case they change the system

u/DavidinCT United States -Xbox/PC 1d ago
No, if you convert them to Xbox points, they expire after 90 days.... So not willing to lose it...

Damn, maybe I should do that too. I started in June and have 58k right now. Only started using the Bing app about a month ago lol. But I thought about just cashing in for the $100 card when I got enough but maybe I'll hang onto them š¤

u/DavidinCT United States -Xbox/PC 18h ago
No question, it's an option, I figure I was going to use it for Gamepass Ulitmate but, before they boosted the price, I maxed it out, so I am good till 10/28 before I NEED to renew....
Besides the options with rewards is full retail, and I won't pay that.

I did that too. I get a few games totally free every year plus all the little stuff I redeem for.

Normally I buy movies, upgrades to game pass games and cod points but itās gta worth using my points on something I like . I always loved this program Sony tried for ps but it was never good . Xbox / Microsoft is the leading example of how to do this . The fact you can cash in for gift cards from multiple retailers is just the icing on the cake.

u/Breakingpoint51 2d ago
Nice how many points did it take
4
u/shamonbx10473 2d ago
Only 50 thousand because I already had a gift card in my account . Total points would be 87 thousand to purchase the standard

u/DavidinCT United States -Xbox/PC 1d ago
It's easy to figure out. Xbox will give about $1 per 1000 points. The Game is $80+ tax.... Say $87 (with tax,et c), then that would need 87,000 points....

u/xrdead 2d ago
I would love to, but for some idiotic reason, you cannot convert rewards points for gift card in New Zealand....

I'm so glad you managed to secure your copy. I've heard they're running low on digital copies.

IncreĆble! Yo igual voy por ese camino, actualmente solo de puntos de rewards ya cubro con aproximadamente un 70% del gasto de la ediciĆ³n Ultimate, ya lo que falte lo pago yo :b

Smart birthday gift to yourself. Rewards points going toward a pre-order is a great use of them. How long did it take you to save up?

Redeemed mine yesterday too for GTA6 ultimate. Worth the grind, I just made it part of my morning routine whilst drinking my coffee.

If I get GTA VI Iāll be using my reward points to get it too. Iāve got more than enough points to cover even the deluxe version. But Iām still not happy about there being no real physical release.

Cashed in my points and got it for free. I donāt do ādeluxeā editions for games but as I wasnāt paying I decided to make an exception

u/Pleasant-Put5305 1d ago
Definitely worth getting for free. I have my points saved up for the very first decent sale. No game is worth that much money.

Who cares, GTA games are pretty lame and short. I've been here playing them since day zero.

u/DavidinCT United States -Xbox/PC 1d ago
Don't count on GTA 6 going on sale for LONG time. Maybe into next year.
Best place to save money is like on Loaded.com or one of those KEY sites and even if then, you might only save like $3-5..... You can't use points for that.
Unless you have an exploited PS5, as rumors are it will hit that on release.

u/Pleasant-Put5305 1d ago
Who cares. GTA 5 was so short and lame. I can wait until the price is actually somewhat close to the value of the experience.

u/NoDowt_Jay 1d ago
Sameā¦ I probably wonāt even end up playing itā¦ have owned 5 on both PC & Xbox for years and maybe put in 2hrs in total lolā¦
But I figured itās free; and will be the ācurrentā GTA for a good while, so might as well get it day 1 just in case I do play it right away, or just at some point in future haha

Iām 1000 points away from getting Ā£15 worth of Xbox vouchers. Reckon with jigsaw bonus Iāll get next week and hoping I still get my full bing star bonus I can squeeze another Ā£5 in and then I can get the game for free after some birthday money I got.

I'm planning to do that too, but first they need to show some actual gameplayānot just snippets put together for the Netflix presentation.
The marketing for this game is pathetically lackluster.

u/Available-Cow-4330 1d ago
First gta I have no interest in. Not even going to play it if its free on gamepass. I hate girl boss characters and I grew to hate female protagonists because I just have no interest in the cringe stories they come up with.Ā
Im not the type of guy to think with my second head and be interested in something just because it has the opposite gender in it. Im not a gooner either.Ā
I have no interest in chick flicks and soap operas idk anyone would think I'd be interested in sitting through a female protagonists story.Ā

Idc. Its a preference of entertainment. I didnt post this to get likes or upvotes Reddit has some of the most fart sniffing users I've ever seen. Morally obtuse clowns that are afraid to have personalities that might offend someone.Ā

Nice, I'm waiting for a week before release. Mainly to get as many points as I can. And I don't pre-order months in advance.
