Xbox Live Gamerscore is no longer just a measure of hours and effort ceded to the glowing green ring. With Xbox Live Rewards MyAchievements, it's now also a modest customer loyalty program for dedicated players.
Those with more than 3,000 points are dubbed Contenders and awarded a gift (with an approximate retail value of $0.25) upon the month of their birth. Champions, who stack up 10,000 or more Gamerscore, are also entitled to a 1 percent rebate on all their Xbox Live Marketplace purchases every month. Those whispered of as Legends stand proud (and probably a little woozy) atop 25,000 or more Gamerscore, and get a 2 percent monthly rebate on all Marketplace transactions.
MyAchievements joins Xbox Live Rewards' other promotional efforts, including Microsoft points in exchange for taking surveys or subscribing to partner programs like Netflix.
