Microsoft Rewards is throwing loads of new goodies at us at the moment, including the usual Monthly Bonus Round offering of 2000+ points for September, along with some special new punch cards.
How To Complete The MS Rewards 'ID@Xbox' Punch Card
The first of these is called the "Microsoft Rewards Top 10: ID@Xbox" punch card, which challenges you to earn one achievement for 500 points from Gang Beasts, Hades, Enter the Gungeon, No Man's Sky, The Ascent, Art of Rally, Twelve Minutes, Overcooked 2, Omno or Maneater. Here are some easy Art of Rally tips to help you complete this one:
(This is available in at least the UK, US and Australia.)
How To Complete The MS Rewards 'State of Decay 2' Punch Card
The second punch card to look out for is State of Decay 2: Homecoming, which celebrates the new update for the game on Xbox Game Pass. Again, this will give you 500 points for completing an achievement in State of Decay 2, and you can also get an extra 1000 by renting a specific movie and finishing the punch card if you want to.
According to reports, you don't have to complete one of the new achievements as advertised, so any State of Decay 2 achievement should do. Here are some examples that you'll be able to finish pretty quickly:
- Puppies and Kittens (Kill 100 Zombies)
- Toothpaste Piñatas (Search 10 containers)
- Construction Complete (Build a facility at your base)
- Lily, We're Home (NEW) (Claim a base in the Trumbull Valley map)
(This is available in at least the UK and US.)
Don't forget to activate these punch cards via the Microsoft Rewards Xbox app before you start trying to complete them, or your progress won't track. There have been reports that the State of Decay one is struggling to track as well.

You could also start up Omno and just walk in the water for 20 seconds right at the beginning.
Hopefully the SoD2 one comes to Australia as well.
Art of Rally has 3 incredibly easy ones for any new player, drive through the car wash, drive through the spray booth and keep your finger on the accelerator for 60 seconds (just drive in circles on the starting platform). Got me the Top 10 500, my daily achievement, completed my weekly set and got the 3 achievements necessary for the Monthly Bonus with them. All in less than 2 mins.
My state of decay one wasn't activating. Normally you don't have to watch the YouTube Vids on these things but maybe that's why it didn't activate? Not sure, it's an age restricted video and I can't be asked to do all that with Google anyway
Missed the State of Decay punchcard, I'll have a look later. Need to top my balance up after splashing out 5k for the GP for life sweepstakes and a further 5K for the Forza PC sweepstakes. Sitting at just over 50k at the moment.
@Originut I'll continue to try my best with it 👍
Another easy one is to water the plant in the bedroom in Twelve Minutes. Only takes about 3-4 mins from the start... worth 80pts too!
2 very easy ones in Hades. Pet Cerberus the dog 10 times or kill Skelly (training dummy) 15 times.
Hmmm. Rewards app on console isn't working correctly for me tonight. Took ages to actually start and then didn't track either my daily achievement or the achievement for the top 10 despite activating the punch card - There are about 6 or 7 fairly easy ones in Art of Rally.
Managed to complete the regular weekly set, but it didn't track on the monthly bonus. Hopefully it'll sort itself out on the next day or so.
The SoD 2 rewards pts is also in Australia, but currently bugged for me. I can't activate the punch card, instead of watching the trailer it goes to a replay of the gamescom show.
@dmcc0 and @WCB Same they aren't working for me either. The 500 punch card isn't working even tho i have tried it with maneater and enter the gungeon and the 50 point achievement isn't working for me either.
@SithThanos yeah today it's playing up again. The 50pt achievement one also won't work, but the 5pt watch youtube did.
@WCB The 50pt achievement one completed for me, as in it registered but didn't award the points. Weird.
@WCB @Shigurui @dmcc0 I just turned the xbox on now and i received the 500 points. You beauty. It must be backlogged.
@SithThanos Good to know, thanks!
