As already reported, Microsoft has started its Xbox LIVE Rewards pilot program. But it appears now that the invites are really starting to pour in; we've received multiple reports of people receiving email notices from Microsoft.
But not all Xbox LIVE Rewards members are created equal. There are actually three tiers of the program -- Orange, Green, and Gray. Depending on your tier, you'll get Microsoft Points for renewing your Xbox LIVE subscription, up to 5% "MS Points back" on Xbox LIVE Marketplace purchases, and more. The tiers also include earning MS Points for simply answering surveys.
Hit the jump to see the three tiers. Did you get into any of the programs, and if so, which one?
[Thanks, wh1terav3n!]

Hate fest in 3...2...1...
Seriously, rewarding the dedicated makes sense, no?
So they've basically created a club nintendo on steroids? Hooray... that's made me buy so many more games and take all their shitty surveys...
Is this related to that number attached to our gamertag? In that case, will this reward be given for the time past or just from now on?
However, a couple of days after that first email, they sent another email saying that Microsoft decided to discontinue this promotion, before it ever even happened. To top it all off, they wanted us to still pay for the stupid movies and fill out of the survey just the same. So screw that, because right now Microsoft doesn't know how to reward their costumers!
Whoo...looks like we have an Arts major in the room.
Ah well. Free stuff is free stuff. Gonna be sure and take any survey they throw at me. Plus I got 100 MS points for just starting, so that's nice.
@shulamm the number attached to your gamercard is how many years you have been a gold member and the emails it appears were completely random. ive been a member 3 years now but as seen others have been since the beginning and didnt get invites.
