From Slickdeals.

$10 for syncing your amex with xbox and $25 for getting the 'wake up John' achievement (beat the game on normal or more difficult).

Registered both my wife's card and mine.

Dicer · Nov 2, 2012

Sad...

Neuromancer · Nov 2, 2012

Aww that's awesome. Wish my credit card was doing this.

~Kinggi~ · Nov 2, 2012

Halo 4, its everywheres.

EightBitNate · Nov 2, 2012

It's to pay for the DLC

Currygan · Nov 2, 2012

better than a kick in the arse I suppose

LQX · Nov 2, 2012

Bah, cancelled my Amex.

Also why would anyone have a problem with this? You're getting free money.

tanooki141 · Nov 2, 2012

This is a very interesting promotion.

I like the idea of being monetarily rewarded for beating games.

CambriaRising · Nov 2, 2012

There has to be a catch.

They are trying to get record numbers, any way possible, it's pathetic really.

rvy · Nov 2, 2012

I'll finish it for free.

McLovin · Nov 2, 2012

Not worth putting my credit card back into my Xbox.

Bloodrage · Nov 2, 2012

This is just sad now.

How much for beating off myself?

Is it still an act of congress to get a card removed from a Gamertag?

ShadiWulf · Nov 2, 2012

I got a friend who wants to know if this deal is able to be done using a pre-paid/reloadable American Express Card.

If anyone here knows, he would greatly appreciate it.

Another sad comment? What's sad????

brochiller · Nov 2, 2012

Sweet I just got an Amex card literally two days ago. I might have to take them up on this offer.

Loomer · Nov 2, 2012

Will buy Fifa with the money.

I think it's easier. Anyway, I think the syncing thing might be different.

Triz · Nov 2, 2012

First 25 people in us that beat legendary mode solo get a trip to e3. East coast with the heavy advantage

ProtoCents · Nov 2, 2012

My Amex is already attached so why not? Free money. Thanks Amex.

PAULINK · Nov 2, 2012

That is too cool. The marketing behind this game is officially on full blast.

LQX · Nov 2, 2012

Or those with a early copy. Either-way, I'm betting all the winners will be someone that works for sites like IGN or Gamespot.

SOLDIER · Nov 2, 2012

Is there a due date for getting the achievement? And how do you receive the money? Gift card, Xbox points, what?

Do you need Axpress for this ? Wish i had a AX card

$35 to any paid porn site.

Hmm, seems like you end up giving your Gamertag info to Amex instead of giving MS your card info. If this is true, I'd be up for getting a free $35 for playing Halo4

Will my account information be shared with Microsoft?
No. American Express will not share any of your information with Microsoft.

Why do I need to allow Microsoft to share my Xbox LIVE Gamertag information with American Express?
Your Xbox LIVE Gamertag enables American Express to sync your Card with your Xbox LIVE account. This information allows American Express to identify when you’ve unlocked exclusive content, offers and more through the American Express sync experience on Xbox LIVE and to ensure that the appropriate rewards and benefits are delivered to you. American Express will not share or use your Xbox LIVE Gamertag information outside of this purpose.

brochiller · Nov 2, 2012

Well this just forced me to pre-order Halo 4.

$10 savings from connecting my AmEx card to my Xbox
+ $25 for beating the game
+ $25 you get from the Microsoft store for pre-ordering (which I'd just use for MS points anyway)

--------------------------------

Halo 4, essentially for free. I can't pass this up.

12/31/12 for the achievements and the money is in credit statements

Thanks for posting this. Just pre-ordered from the MS store. This is a great deal.

LiK · Nov 2, 2012

sure, why not. money!

Plus if you complete the Operation Completion achievement by 12/31 which is just beating a Spartan Ops Mission on any difficulty, you get $50 off of a $100 purchase at Best Buy. Considering the Wii U launch is coming which I was going to buy a few games for anyway, I'm going to be making money by playing Halo 4.

Yeah, I saw that as well. This is a great deal for just playing a great game

I don't understand the complaints. I am willing to be bribed to play games I am looking forward to anyways.

MThanded · Nov 2, 2012

They really want these sales lol.

Hero_of_the_Day · Nov 2, 2012

Weird.

Übermatik · Nov 2, 2012

This is getting ridiculous. Embarrassing, really. Real sad too.

RotBot · Nov 2, 2012

I was going to wait for a price drop but might as well pre-order now. If I have two people in my household with synced Amex cards, can we play co-op to get the campaign completion achievement at the same time?

ShirAhava · Nov 2, 2012

this just gets sadder and sadder

bjork · Nov 2, 2012

When I beat Gran Turismo for my dad, he bought me Brian Setzer tickets. Try harder, Amex.

Mikor · Nov 2, 2012

They're making so much money from Doritos and Mountain Dew sponsorships + future DLC that they've no need to make money from sales of the game itself anymore! Awesome.

LiK · Nov 2, 2012

the only sad thing is if you don't own an AMEX card. just synced my card and already confirmed to get $10 credited to my statement. you don't need to play the game to get that.

BlackJace · Nov 2, 2012

Does Microsoft REALLY think fucking Halo 4 needs this much advertisement?
