Remember during the 5-year anniversary celebration of Xbox Live, those of us who had been with Xbox Live since the beginning were due 500 Microsoft Points? Remember signing up on the website for the points and being told December 21st would be the day those points would arrive? Remember that? Well, that was all true!
I just received my 500 Microsoft Points as well as an exclusive gamer pic for being an active member of Xbox Live for 5 years! This is a pretty good early Christmas present. If you were a member of Xbox Live since 2002, then check your email for the goodies.

Lame. I have the same account, just a different gamertag. I changed it via the $10 change-your-gamertag fee.
I hope that isn’t what makes me not get the points, but if it isn’t I have no idea as to what it could be!

I have been on Live since the very beginning, including a Beta Tester, yet I have received no notice of 500 MS Points.

did you guys submit your gamertag to the site for verification?

Apparently, if you changed your GT name using the 800 MS points, you are not considered a founding member.
How lame is that? This is what Major Nelson told me from their marketing department.
I too have been a beta tester since Aug 2002 and only changed my GT back in 2006 because I was getting tired of the name.. I outgrew it… and oops.. I’m considered not a founder. Such bullshit.
