We all know how generous Microsoft Rewards can be, but this really is taking things to the next level, as three separate punch cards are now live on Xbox for Psychonauts 2, Forza Horizon 5 and Madden NFL 22.
All of them are offering 250 points for completing just one achievement, and the best bit is that they're all accessible via Xbox Game Pass - even including Madden NFL 22, which has a free 10-hour trial with Game Pass Ultimate.
So, without further ado, here are some tips to help you complete each of them in turn:
Psychonauts 2 Punch Card (250 Points)

Earn an achievement in Psychonauts 2.
Must be completed between August 24 - September 7, 2021.
Forza Horizon 5 Punch Card (250 Points)
Credit above goes to Maka91Productions on YouTube.
Earn an achievement in Forza Horizon 4, Forza Motorsport 7 or Forza Street.
Must be completed between August 25 - September 5, 2021.
There are loads of possibilities with this punch card, but looking at just Forza Horizon 4 alone, you can get an achievement for completing the game's short introduction ('Welcome to Britain'), spinning your first Super Wheelspin ('Hit the Jackpot'), applying your first Car Mastery ('Optional Extras') and much, much more.
Alternatively, if you've already played a bit of Forza Horizon 4, perhaps try taking part in your first #FORZATHONLIVE event ('There's no 'I' in team'), viewing every beauty spot ('Taking The Grand Tour'), or even getting 258mph on a Speed Trap in the Bugatti Veyron Super Sport (Record Breaker). So many possibilities!
There are a couple of other buttons on the punch card you need to select as well, but you don't need to pre-order Forza Horizon 5 or claim your free sweepstakes entry - just back out with 'B' and they should be marked as "Completed".
Madden NFL 22 Punch Card (250 Points)
Credit above goes to Cheevo Guides on YouTube.
Earn an achievement in Madden NFL 22.
Must be completed between August 19 - September 2, 2021.

@FraserG You must have Forza Horizon 5 on the brain, who can blame you I am just as excited but you posted 5 instead of 4 in several places in the article. Got me excited thinking a demo was out. 🤣
@Tasuki It's technically called the Forza Horizon 5 punch card (confusing, I know!). You have to do a couple of other things to complete it such as clicking a link to the Forza Horizon 5 Microsoft Store page.
These points just add more and more value to the Xbox ecosystem. I think i’ve had almost £100 back in Xbox giftcards, if not more, thanks to these points over the last 2.5 years.
I was a big spender before gamepass though too so you do get points with purchases as well. So some of it came from that. But still; the reward system isn’t talked about enough when looking at Xbox’s value.
@K1LLEGAL Yeah I really love the rewards program but I’ve found it hard to get people into it. From donations to sweepstakes to gift cards and much more. Awesome perk for game pass and has led me to download and try more games just for some weekly/monthly challenge.
@FraserG They are such a tease.
@Residentsteve01 there should be reward points for finding one of your comments where you’re not complaining about Xbox. Pretty sure you can just turn off notifications? Besides whenever I play my PS4 it pops up telling me about scenes I can’t record? I just get on with it though.
Is the forza punchcard available yet??? I can't find it.... Not available so far in Australia.
@Originut Sorry for the late reply! Yesterday was busy to say the least.
I think you can use either. I've seen reports that it works on the Xbox Series X and S version, but haven't had a chance to try it myself yet.
