It's all over, you missed it, sorry

From CAG:

Quote

First off, this is not one of those website BS scams that make you answer surveys or buy products and redeem for points, its a Microsoft sponsored contest I got an email for.
I just got an email for some MSN auto contest where you create a custom Dodge Challenger. Well, I did it just to waste time, but I noticed that at the end of my submission, there is a check box to receive Microsoft Points for participating. Well, Hell yeah I said to myself, I check the box and hit submit. ONce it went through I got an email saying thanks for playing and my code was there for redemption. I went to the online Microsoft points login, put in my code and viola, I got 100 points for free. Also, I tried it with another email, and after I submitted another car, I got the point code sent to that email and I added another 100 to my account. Its easy and take maybe 5 mins if you don't spend any time customizing the car. Here is what you do:

1. Go to the website: http://www.dreamcarchallenge.com/main/Default.aspx
2. Hit the Enter Challenge button on the right of the page.
3. Just hit "Next Step" on the bottom right, until you reach the end (or you can take the time and customize the car if you want...)
4. Fill in your info on that next page, IMPORTANT, here is where you select your option to receive the Free points!
5. Make sure you check the 3rd box from the top that says "Yes, I would like to receive Microsoft Points by participating in this promotion. Tell me more about Microsoft Points."
6. Submit your entry and wait for the email with your point code.
7. You can go to http://points.microsoft.com/ and add the points there without having to sign-in to your xbox live.

I have done this a few times now and it seems to work well. Enjoy the free points! (And say thanks too....)

Some of the contest rules

Up to a maximum total of 24,000,000 Microsoft Points will be made available to Promotion entrants.

* 100 Points for registering for the Promotion for the first time (limit one (1) registration per entrant/email address during Entry Period); Thereafter, 50 Points can be earned each day for creating and entering a ‘ Dream Car’ (limit one (1) entry per entrant/email address per Calendar Day during the Entry Period)
* 50 Points can be earned for every one (1) “rating” made by entrant of a ‘Dream Car’ Entry posted on the Site’s gallery (limit one (1) rating/entrant/email address per Calendar Day during the Entry Period).

There is a maximum limit of 2,000 Points per entrant/email address during the Entry Period (while supplies for the Promotion last up to an aggregate total of 24,000,000).

If you have or make a gmail account, you can insert a period to get multiple points at one address:
Evilbore@gmail.com
E.vilbore@gmail.com
Ev.ilbore@gmail.com

it all goes to the same place. Also, you can enter all "1"s in the address section, just put in a valid State abbreviation and any five numbers for the zip. password is any 6 characters. You can also just hit forward and not even name the car. When you get the codes, you enter them at the site above-- NOT AT XBOX.com. It's points.microsoft.com.

Enough talk, have at them!

I don't know how long this will last either, so if it dies, someone say so (I'm all done with it and thought I'd pass it on.)

MCD · « **Reply #2 on:** July 05, 2008, 11:03:08 PM »

excellent, i have 700 points, just 100 points more for an arcade game.

thanks kranz.

yep!

sweet. Milked about 4200 points and I'm done. I doubt I'll spend that much all year (plus I have tons from the target deals.)

Grecco · « **Reply #7 on:** July 05, 2008, 11:45:35 PM »

4200?

I got 1000 so far i think would like enough for the who pack at least

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #8 on:** July 05, 2008, 11:48:13 PM »

some more tips:

--apparently you can auto-fill the whole code with IE7 (the boxes weren't highlighted in firefox, I don't know how to work it...i just did ctrl+c, ctrl+v)

--These points expire on February 17th 2009 $:-\$ Not sure if that's the code for the points, or the points themselves. Keep that in mind...in case your point balance suddenly drops that day. purple monkey dishwasher (that'll help you remember this post.)

Thanks. I got 100. Good enough for me!

I'm about to go on an XBLA spree.

Crackdown DLC, Soulcalibur, oh man is there anything else I've been eyeing. Oh, I might buy some NG2 gamerpics.

Grecco · « **Reply #13 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:13:58 AM »

The Crackdown DLC is soo worth it.

drohne · « **Reply #14 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:15:40 AM »

imo get assault heroes 2

MCD · « **Reply #15 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:17:06 AM »

just beat master ninja or get all skulls for two gamerpics.

i'm tempted to do this to get another xbla game...hmm...

and about soul calibur, it looks good but no story and online mode? meh, especially for a lonely taco like me.

y2kev · « **Reply #16 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:26:18 AM »

I have to admit having wayyyy too much fun filling in LAN DI-SAMA for names

MCD · « **Reply #17 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:30:08 AM »

I'm doing my part to prevent the delisting of xbla games.

Narag · « **Reply #18 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:38:22 AM »

Got 200 points before the site stopped sending stuff. :'(
I just wanted to cover next week's rockband songs :'(

If I was in on this earlieir, I'd be playing Soul Calibur right now!

AdmiralViscen · « **Reply #19 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:39:41 AM »

I didn't have the patience before, but I guess I regret it now.

edit: oh, it's over?

y2kev · « **Reply #21 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:41:36 AM »

I'm just getting the points but not spending them. don't want third parties to get sales so they don't go to psn.

(i managed to get 1600....but i dunno what to spend them on. i wanted mass effect dlc but i've heard its ridiculously bad).

MCD · « **Reply #22 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:42:15 AM »

it's no longer showing codes.

Crushed · « **Reply #23 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:42:26 AM »

Yeah, just read that people are getting blank spaces for codes. Looks like it's over.

drohne · « **Reply #25 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:44:01 AM »

nuuuuu 200 more points and i would have had enough for n+ as well

oh well

MCD · « **Reply #26 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:45:06 AM »

speaking of n+ i bought it yesterday, amaaaazing game.

Draft · « **Reply #27 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:45:21 AM »

Mass Effect DLC is pretty fun. If you liked ME I'm sure you'd did the DLC. It's basically the most fleshed out non-story planet in the game.

drohne · « **Reply #28 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:47:11 AM »

i've seen concentration camp inmates more fleshed out than any of mass effect's non-story planets

i'll try n+ and maybe ikaruga

still gotta buy shivering isles, this would make it cheap

Mupepe · « **Reply #30 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:51:17 AM »

it's done?

Narag · « **Reply #31 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:51:23 AM »

The DLC was kind of nice but man, drohne is dead on.

y2kev · « **Reply #32 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:53:04 AM »

Wait, wouldn't the DLC be free when it comes out on PC? Or does Microsoft not care if you're getting fucked by PC owners instead of PS3 owners?

Narag · « **Reply #33 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:54:31 AM »

I assume it'll stay pay. Thinking back on the DLC, its about an hour, doesn't really add to the game, has a nice scenario, and the loot at the end justified it all for me.

Grecco · « **Reply #34 on:** July 06, 2008, 01:04:15 AM »

You cant copy paste the codes either i think

Thanks, duder. I got 2100 points.

I might buy that Muse GH3 pack.

I am a whore.

Grecco · « **Reply #38 on:** July 06, 2008, 01:52:19 AM »

Ended getting 2600 total myself.

why would you buy shivering isles? it's availabe on disc, you can even rent it i'd imagine

shame i missed this, but i've got about 5000 as it is

Grecco · « **Reply #40 on:** July 06, 2008, 02:14:11 AM »

Theres a dude at Cag that got 20,000. $:-\$ I felt like a whore when i got 2600 but jeesus. 20K.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #41 on:** July 06, 2008, 02:23:45 AM »

goddamn. took long enough for me to get 4200. I could've had about 10,000 if I knew the "+" trick from the beginning (and if I had my technique down from the start.) wasted valuable time making new gmail accounts and figuring out the quickest way to do it.

This carnival ticket system does have its advantages. I've impulse bought points a couple times, but I haven't had to buy any since last summer, thanks to things like this (and good sales/coupons.)

Joe Molotov · « **Reply #42 on:** July 06, 2008, 03:16:08 AM »

Crap, I always miss out on these things. I would have bought SOOO many Rock Band songs. :'(

y2kev · « **Reply #43 on:** July 06, 2008, 12:45:42 PM »

I loved the N+ demo but I put on my PSN chastity belt

sorry xbox live

(I bought it, wow, awesome)

Beezy · « **Reply #44 on:** July 06, 2008, 01:53:46 PM »

The one time I go out at night, I end up missing something like this.

chronovore · « **Reply #45 on:** July 17, 2008, 02:04:25 AM »

I was LTTP but tried anyway; ended up using two variants on my gmail address. It mailed me a note with a blank line where the promotion code should be.

Today I got mail from the promotion saying they apologize for not providing a code at the time, but HERE HAVE THIS. There was a new code for each of the email addresses I tried, but after successfully redeeming the first code, for the second code it said YOU HAVE ALREADY REDEEMED THE MAXIMUM POINTS FOR THIS PROMOTION.

...So. Looks like they shut it down when the noticed the 4200 points people, and tied the redeemable codes directly to the promotion, which is pretty smart.

BobFromPikeCreek · « **Reply #46 on:** July 17, 2008, 02:05:40 AM »

Yeah... They fixed that days ago... Like the thread title suggests.
