As Microsoft Rewards exists, I thought it would be a good idea that a digital gift card that can be redeemed on the Rewards program would be a good idea. FWSim will have more members and earn more money to do their stuff, as the full price will be paid by Microsoft.
How does Microsoft Rewards work?
- You start searching up random stuff you wanna know about, and do the daily activities.
- Earn some points and you can also keep track of how much you earn.
- Once you earn enough points, you can redeem the gift card.
How does that allow more people to purchase FWSim?
People like me do not wish to use our own money, or do not have bank accounts at all. Instead, we end up grinding on Microsoft Rewards, and adding a gift card to purchase FWSim makes it possible for such users to gain access, and the money we owe will be paid by Microsoft.
Just something to take note, remember to keep the points requirement to around 30k for the basic hobbyist edition, and the Creative Edition should be at 60k points. For things that are $30 or $60, they have to be set at around those point requirements so FWSim would be able to get the bills completely covered.
As Pro Edition is a subscription-based edition, the gift cards for it will need to be by timeframe, so if someone purchases Pro Edition, they have to choose between 1 month to 1 year, instead of just buying the gift card straight.
In case you’re wondering:
- You start searching to earn points, also searching can help other websites earn money.
- Renting websites costs money, so owners of the websites have to pay Microsoft.
- A fraction of the money will be funded to Microsoft Rewards, which is where the money comes from.
- If one gift card from [COMPANY] gets redeemed, the money required to cover the bill will be covered by Microsoft.
(If possible, if anyone previously bought the products but redeemed the gift cards, they will be refunded the money. However, Pro Edition isn’t refundable.)
I understand it may be a little difficult to partner with Microsoft on something like this, but I would love it if they tried to, at least.
