For those who still need one, and don't mind being required to buy an extra controller, the Microsoft Store has stock. Just click Buy Now at the link (not an affiliate link).

Got my 2nd Series X which will replace a Series S and used $400 in MS Rewards credit (I literally passed 364,000 pts yesterday which is $400). So, I think minimum purchase is $547.99 + tax w/ additional controller. I got the Elite Core so overall had to pay $284 out of pocket. Mine is set to arrive next Tuesday so pretty quick turn around as well.
 
What you been using Bing for to get that many points??
Yes. Bing, Xbox Rewards App on console and Gamepass Quests. My main account which is the Gamepass account for the house, probably earns roughly 15K/mo. on average (I def. miss search days and MS rewards console app weeklies tho) but if you keep it up diligently, you can earn close to 20K/mo. MS has toned down the amounts earned in Gamepass quests over time and they almost never do the points for achievements or double credit days in Bing anymore and they got rid of Ms Rewards credit gifting about a year ago (you could receive 5K points/mo from another account in your "familiy"). So, it used to be I would average over 20K/mo pretty easily. Just for some perspective, the last time I cashed in any rewards for that account was roughly 2 years ago...so that was 2 years of banking.

I also have 2 other active Xbox live accounts that I do the Bing/MS Rewards app stuff for. One is primarily for buying games (bought Elden Ring and pre-ordered MWII) and the other is primarily for buying Gamepass. I try to maximize the rewards programs as much as possible! In the past, you could redeem points for a gift card code and funnel it to one account but now, you can only redeem to the account that had the points. If that had not been the case, I would have been to $400+++ long ago...lol.

Oh, forgot to add that I also do the mobile app searches as well across all 3 accounts. I generally do most of the points stuff at night while watching a show as it's a pretty passive activity. Takes roughly 30 min. to do searches across the 3 accounts on all of the bing apps.
