Microsoft Rewards is a great service that’s well worth taking advantage of.
That being said, a recent change to the service has come as a disappointment to users.
As I’m sure you’re aware, Xbox users can accrue points via a number of methods, including the likes of making purchases on the Xbox Store, searching via Bing, and completing daily and monthly tasks.
When you’ve got enough points, you can exchange those for rewards - and there’s a great variety of treats on offer.

You can enter prize draws, secure free store credit, and redeem free Xbox Game Pass memberships to name just a few benefits - although that latter reward has grown a tad murkier.
It’s been reported by some users that the option to redeem three months of Xbox Game Pass Ultimate has disappeared.
“I wanted to redeem three months Game Pass Ultimate today as I reached the needed points for it, but now it’s gone? Yesterday it was still there,” wrote Reddit user Bloody_Jonny.
Avowed is just one of the many games you can enjoy on Game Pass Ultimate.
“Ugh, that’s new,” DannoMcK replied. “It was still there in the US a week or so ago.”
“It was on there this morning for me. Just checked as it was my pinned goal and it's gone. That's a bummer. I'm like 400 pts shy for a month though so I guess I better grab that before it goes up,” added Skennedy31.
It’s with this in mind that if you are planning on redeeming three months of Game Pass Ultimate, you should probably do so ASAP.
A select few users report that the option is still there.
You can, alternatively, still easily nab one month of Game Pass Ultimate.
It’s believed that the amount of points you require to redeem the three month reward may soon be rising which could explain the temporary absence.
As Balin13 said: “I did see one month of Game Pass Ultimate is now 14k versus 12k it used to be.”
I wouldn't be surprised if we saw the three month option return in the coming days with the higher price point.
As I said though, if you do still have the current redemption option, it may be best to nab it while you can.
