Microsoft has launched its previously rumoured Xbox Live Rewards programme in the US.
Designed to encourage use of Xbox Live services, the pilot scheme rewards active users selected to participate with free Microsoft Points.
"For the next six months, the Rewards Squad will hook you up with Microsoft Points just for doing the stuff Xbox Live members do all the time," says the company. "You'll score points not only for renewing your Gold subscriptions; you'll get a reward on what you spend on the Xbox Live Marketplace. The best part is, the more you spend, the more you get, and for each month you stay on Gold, the higher your monthly reward up to five per cent of your Marketplace spend."
The majority of rewards are only available to Xbox Live Gold members. 200 MS Points are awarded for renewing a 12 month Gold subscription and for subscribing to movie streaming service Netflix, while both Xbox Live Gold and Silver members can receive 100 MS Points for participating in a survey and making their first purchase on Xbox Live.
Microsoft has yet to announce whether the rewards programme will be rolled out in Europe.
