Microsoft Rewards is a free program that allows users to earn points through searching with Bing, browsing with Microsoft Edge, and making purchases at the Microsoft Store. These points can be redeemed for various rewards. Tiers and Status There are two levels in the program: Level 1: This is the starting level, requiring users to earn a set number of points each month to maintain status. Level 2: Once users accumulate enough points, they move to Level 2, which provides higher point caps and extra earning opportunities. How to Earn Points Users can earn points through multiple activities: Bing Searches: Searching with Bing earns points (Level 2 users get 150 daily—90 from desktop, 60 from mobile; Level 1 users get 30). A 6-day streak grants 75 points, and accumulating puzzle pieces over time can lead to a 1,000-point bonus. Microsoft Edge Bonus: Searching with Edge provides additional points, although other browsers like Brave can be used. Daily Sets: Simple daily tasks such as quizzes, polls, and searches offer easy points (e.g., a 3-question quiz, daily poll, and browsing tasks). These often only require opening a link. Microsoft Store Purchases: Buying items in the Microsoft Store or on Xbox earns points, though some users may not take advantage of this. Promotions and Quizzes: Microsoft occasionally runs limited-time promotions that offer bonus points. Playing Games: Points can be earned through Xbox gameplay and Game Pass quests. Redeeming Points Points can be exchanged for various rewards: Gift Cards: Available for popular retailers like Amazon and Starbucks (e.g., a £5 Amazon voucher costs 8,060 points). Sweepstakes Entries: Can be used for prize draws. Donations: Points can be donated to charities. Xbox Live & Game Pass: Points can cover subscriptions and game purchases. Signing Up Users need a Microsoft or Hotmail account to join. They can sign in via the Bing Rewards icon to start earning. The Rewards dashboard helps track points, activities, and redemption options. Tips for Maximizing Points - **Daily Participation**: Engage with daily activities. - **Use Bing & Edge**: Make Bing the default search engine and browse with Edge. - **Stay Updated**: Watch for promotions. - **Link Microsoft & Xbox accounts**: This ensures points are earned from gaming. A referral link offers a welcome bonus of up to 650 points, doubling to 1,300 after task completion. Rewards are straightforward, and users can earn easy gift card returns—I have redeemed £20 worth so far. https://rewards.bing.com/welcome?rh=64D71E90&ref=rafsae There's also a $2,000,000 draw ending soon, and I also get 5 free entries if you enter via this link (you can come back and do this once you've signed up) and you get 3 entries https://rewards.bing.com/sweepstakes/million/about?rh=64D71E90&ref=2M Terms More on reddit.com

Short anwser is yes. Long anwser is that it depends on how you use Microsoft rewards. Because it carries over onto mobile and Xbox as well and makes one big pile. So for example. I use rewards from many sources to build up my movie collection. With Microsoft I log into the Xbox app and the Xbox itself for daily rewards as well as booting up a game pass game once a day and getting achievements gets you a little more. On average I get at least $10 in rewards a month. Then I look at the 5 dollar movie deals every week and snag up the ones I want with my rewards. Been doing this for a long time. Between that and other rewards I get from other sources I net about $30 or so a month. And I convert them all to digital movie deals. So about 6 or so new movies a month. ( then I use movies anywhere to share those movie across YouTube/Google, Amazon, vudu, Microsoft, and Apple. Beyond this Microsoft has a thing called perks if you have a gamepass sub on Xbox. It has free trial periods for streaming services. Rewards for mobile games and Xbox games. Nothing spectacular but every once in ahwile they throw up something I can use. I'm sure everyone uses it differently. But that's an example of how it's useful to me anyway. More on reddit.com
