FAQ for Xbox app Rewards (PC and Mobile), updated as we go - Dec 14 - please add to and help since Rewards "Quests/Missions" are not the same worldwide.

Questions

Ok I'm going to need people's help since I'm in the US.

Access to the Rewards

1st this is a rollout. It started in the UK and Brasil and went to Australia, New Zealand, then the US and Canada and Mexico. It will probably continue to rollout to other countries. Not everyone in every country with it has access either, it seems to be randomly targeted.

You need the Xbox app for PC: https://www.xbox.com/en-US/apps/xbox-app-for-pc

and for Mobile: https://www.xbox.com/apps/xbox-app-for-mobile

Log in. Click the circle with your user icon, that's your profile page. On PC click View Profile. You should see a tab called Rewards (so far it always loads to this for me)

The Rewards you have vary a little. In the US there are 3, Play Jewel, Play a PC game and Use the Xbox app for mobile.

I think in every other region it has 4, Play Jewel, Play a PC game, Play a PC game with friends, Use the Xbox app for mobile. (let me know if I'm wrong here.

Completing Rewards

So for Jewel and Use the app for mobile you need your phone or BlueStacks or some other android emulator. Open the Xbox app, go to the Rewards tab under your profile page then click the play jewel or tap here to play icon. This will take you to a page to Launch Jewel 2 (mine says it resets around 2am, I'll try to verify that on a sleepless night). You have to complete 1 level so it's quickest to always start a new game. You need rows or columns of 3 or more of the same jewel to clear the jewels. You can click 1 jewel to move to another jewel next to it that you click. Shinning jewels will knock out more around you. It will evey say next stage so click that to complete the "Quest/Mission".

You will have to Claim the Rewards back on the profile page of either the PC or Mobile app or if you have the Game Bar enabled you can claim them by clicking the notification.

For the Play a PC game you can launch any PC game that lets you log into Xbox Live. Since I don't need multiplayer I'm using Solitaire collection from MS and it's free.

A good game to use if you have Game Pass is Age of Empires (I'll add suggestions here and flesh out an FAQs that are in the comments from our friends with this Reward).

This Reward often does not work right away or for many hours. Whenever there's a post asking about it there's always people saying it worked for them and people saying it is not working. Keep trying or try again in a few hours.

There's a 5 day streak Reward. It only goes up to 5 days and adds 5 points per day.

Bonuses

You can use either Game Pass or Game Pass Ultimate to get the bonus: https://reddit.com/r/MicrosoftRewards/comments/zl7we1/_/j07c9pf/?context=1

For the Play a PC game with Friends you'll need to have 7 friends on your account for the bonus. You can just add celebrity accounts like MajorNelson or check out r/Xboxambassador for lots of people needing friends. The Xbox subs (can't remember which) used to do a friend request post as well. There's also an Xbox club that a member here started and you can add people from there. https://reddit.com/r/MicrosoftRewards/comments/fmedwo/global_new_xbox_club_for_help_with_rewards_quests/

Please help me with any other questions or answers, clarifications to the above or anything you think will help.
