Redeeming Microsoft Rewards Points for Ancient Coin packs

  • Just a PSA that for the period that the Rare Ruby Hat Ancient Coin pack is available (not all regions) it's not possible to rebuy ancient coin packs using MS Reward Points.

    I've previously purchased a 1000 ancient coins as this pack and now unable to redeem another one as it says the pack is already in my library.

    Hopefully Rewards team can refund me and I can buy normal coin pack when the campaign ends.

  • This is really good to know, as I was going to buy more coins soon to get the plunder pass, but if it forces me to get the hat, and that stops me from redeeming the coins, I will hold off, and probably end up not having the Rare Regalia set. Good job Rare, you literally made it impossible to spend money on your product.

    Rare Anniversary finishes 4the October so hopefully we should be good after that date.

    It's a nice Plunder Pass so would be a shame to miss it.

    It's been awhile since I've purchased packs with rewards, but when this happens you need to log into the game using the MS Store version to activate the current pack, and then you can buy another with points again.

    The store doesn't let you buy multiples of the same item, but once the pack gets activated on your SoT account it gets cleared from the store.

    EDIT: Thinking about this some more, is it the hat that is preventing the pack from getting cleared because it hasn't been provisioned yet?

    I'm on Xbox so don't have different stores to deal with.
    I think because on the store it is marketed as the Rare Ruby Hat AND 1000 coins it doesn't let you redeem the same pack. If it was just 1000 coins I would be fine.
    I've had a refusal initially but have pushed back. My hopes are not high.

    If I get a second refusal I will just post the code on this thread rather than have it go to waste.

    Disappointing that 20 odd days of mindless button pushing with my pay off of 9 Great British Pounds equivalent has come to this lol

  • @pc-monkfish did it give you the coins and a code for the hat, or a code for both? Usually these purchases just go straight to the MS account with no code.

  • @d3adst1ck

    one single code - which should give you the coins and the hat(which I've already got). No other way to redeem points for Ancient Coins for the length of this campaign unfort.
    This code I cannot redeem as I have used one previously I guess.
