Microsoft Rewards is a loyalty program offered by Microsoft that allows users to earn points for various activities such as searching the web with Bing, shopping at the Microsoft Store, and using various Microsoft products and services. These points can then be redeemed for a variety of rewards such as gift cards, sweepstakes entries, and donations to charitable organizations.
Here's an overview of how Microsoft Rewards works:
-
Sign up: To start earning points, you'll first need to sign up for a Microsoft account and enroll in the Microsoft Rewards program.
-
Earn points: Once you're enrolled, you can earn points by searching the web with Bing, shopping at the Microsoft Store, and using various Microsoft products and services such as the Xbox. You can also earn points by completing daily quizzes and offers.
-
Redeem points: Once you've earned enough points, you can redeem them for a variety of rewards such as gift cards, sweepstakes entries, and donations to charitable organizations.
-
Tier system: Microsoft Rewards also has a tier system, where the more points you earn, the higher your tier level and more rewards you can get.
It's important to note that the program, rewards, and the way of earning points may vary by location, so you should check the Microsoft Rewards website for specific details and terms. In Canada, the maximum amount of points you can earn is approximately 447/day or 502/day with a Game Pass subscription. Split between 162 from searches (Bing app and Edge browser with Bing search), 180 from quizzes and daily sets, and ~160 with the Game Pass app quests along with a Game Pass subscription. Note that you can earn slightly more with earning daily search streaks.
To redeem $10 gift cards (Amazon, Best Buy, Esso, etc.) you require 13,100 points (For Canada), although Microsoft gift cards have slightly better rates at 9,600 points for a $10 gift card. You can then get a $10 gift card in 29-30 days if you don't have a Game Pass subscription (21 days for a Microsoft gift card).
