    Not yet. Give it time though, it took them a long while to get the payback for Summer of Arcade out there, so don't freak if you don't have it in a day or whatever. I, personally, am giving them until 2011 before I'll start getting concerned.

    Just curious to see how many of the people who used 2400 Microsoft points last month have gotten their 800 points free. If yes, what are you spending it on? Pac-Man?!?
     
    Any details on how to receive the points would be useful since I have not received mine and I know I spent 2400 points last month.
     Do you get an e-mail? Does it upload automatically? Is there a certain time that must go by after you spent those points last month? So many questions!

    I didn't get the summer of arcade thing, but I bet someone here could confirm how it happens. I think you get an email and the points are added automatically, but since corporate America sucks, I wouldn't doubt them giving out a time sensitive code through the email so that a lot of people miss out on their points. Let's hope they are better than that one. 
     
    Also yes, Death_Unicorn, if they gave me my 800 points today I would buy Pacman in a heartbeat. That game looks super rad.

    Just looking around the Xbox.com forums it seems like most people got them around November 16th.  I checked my account history and had spent 2520 points; I emailed customer service & they replied: "We apologize that you haven't received 800 Microsoft Points.  800 Microsoft Points will be added automatically to your membership.  Limit one gift per person.  The free points will be deposited into your Xbox LIVE account after the end of the promotion period.  Please allow for weeks for delivery, on or around Novermber 30, 2010."

    I got mine, although I don't quite remember buying anything in October. I just all of a sudden had 800 points. I'm not complaining though.

    I still have yet to receive my points.  Yesterday I had a message from LIVE on my xbox informing me of the 800 points thats were credited to my account, but I didnt actually get any points.  I emailed them and they replied with a link to 
    http://billing.microsoft.com  and a list of things I can/cant do on that site instead of anything informative.
