### How to convert Xbox Reward Points to money

https://youtu.be/sNmSqaxSzqI

Hey guys. If you have followed my previous tutorial on earning Microsoft reward points through completing missions on your Xbox (video can be seen through this link here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t6ife63da8), you will probably have accrued some points by now. It's time to turn those points into actual money in your account, so you can use it to buy Microsoft products such as games or a game pass membership.

The way to do this is basically to convert the points into gift cards. You can see that I only have enough points for a $5 gift card. That is one reason why I stopped doing quests - I found that the time that I spent to accrue the points is probably worth more than the actual dollar value I received from the points. But still, if you make points from playing games, you might as well do it anyway because it's relaxing and enjoyable :)

I ended up using the points towards Elden Ring. It was pretty expensive when I bought it so $5 didn't help too much. I did spend a fair amount of time in the game so it was worth it. What did you buy with your points?

### Win Hive from Xbox achievements

Since You can't make much money from Xbox achievements in terms of converting them to reward points and then to money, I decided to start an intiative to reward HIVE citizens for completing Xbox Achievements. Here is the summary of what we discussed in the previous article. I will reward up to 3 people with 10 HIVE if they can beat my gamerscore for each of the following games:

In order to claim the 10 HIVE reward, the steps are:
1) Comment below with the name of the game and a link to your Xbox profile. E.g. https://account.xbox.com/en-au/profile?gamertag=Magicmonk7723
2) In your profile, I must be able to see that you beat my gamerscore in the particular game you want to win the HIVE for. If your profile is set on private, you may have to add me as a friend so I can see your achievements.
3) Your HIVE name must match or be quite similar to your Xbox gamertag, otherwise I don't know whether it is you. (You can see mine is also Magicmonk)

In the last article I only listed Match Point Tennis and A Plague Tale: Innocence. I would now like to add Multiversus to the list of games. We have talked about this game quite a bit previously and it is also one of the games you can challenge me at Magic Monk Arcades (2022-11-05 11am UTC) to win more HIVE. More on that later!

Note: If I improve on my Gamerscore in the future, then the gamerscore you have to beat will be based on my future gamerscore (whatever it says when you go to my Xbox profile link), which may be higher than the screenshot.
