So I just got this email from XBL rewards. They couldn't put my 240 points on my account because I'm in the beta.
Interesting information was this though.
Basically starting August 1st they will no longer reward MS points. They will use the real currency transition to think of new rewards. More information on the new rewards will be available on September 1st on rewards.xbox.com.
Any pending points you have by August 7th will be deposited in your account, even if you have less than 100 points.
If you are in the beta and still have points pending, they will be converted to real currency and that money will be deposited in your account.
All this information seems to confirm that the new dashboard will hit August 13th.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT:
As you may have heard from the announcements at E3, major changes are coming to Xbox Live. One of these changes is the switch to local currency for purchases on Xbox. That means Microsoft Points will soon be retired and you’ll instead be able to use money to purchase content on Xbox (see Xbox.com Points FAQ for more info).
With all these changes, it’s become necessary for us to evolve the way we reward you. Starting August 1, 2013, you will not be able to earn Microsoft Points through Xbox Live Rewards any longer. Not to worry, though! Since this currency change is impacting the structure of the program, we’re taking the opportunity to make Xbox Live Rewards even better. You’ll continue to get rewarded for doing the things you love on Xbox Live – just not with Microsoft Points. So come back to rewards.xbox.com on September 1, 2013 for the full scoop. You can also follow us at @XboxLiveRewards on Twitter for the latest updates.
Finally, despite the Microsoft Points changes, all your hard work will not go to waste. On August 7, 2013 we’ll deposit ALL your Pending Rewards Points into your account, even if you have less than 100. And if you still have Points in your Xbox account when Microsoft Points are retired, they’ll be transitioned into your country’s local currency. Your currency will be available for use at the Xbox Stores as usual. For more on the Points transition, see Xbox.com Points FAQ here.
