Getting the most out of Microsoft Rewards

Best Practices

• To earn points, make sure you’re logged in with your Microsoft account on Bing, MSN.com, Xbox, the Bing mobile app, or the entry point you use to earn points.

• Set Bing as the default search engine in your favorite browser to make every search count.

• If you are at work, you can link your business account to your personal Microsoft account so that your business searches earn points. Learn more about account linking.

• Engage daily with Bing. There are several ways to earn points, like searching with Bing, reading articles on MSN, downloading the Bing mobile app, using Edge, and more.

• Visit rewards.bing.com or bing.com to find out about opportunities to earn more points.

• Keep your Microsoft account up to date with your phone number.

• Visit the redemption page to find new offers, view your current points status, or find the types of rewards that you can redeem your points for—like gift cards, gear, and donations to your favorite nonprofit.

• Think about setting a goal for your points redemption and start working toward it.

• Earn on the go with the Bing mobile app.

• Earn on Xbox.

• If Microsoft asks you to validate your account, be prepared to share your location.

• Add microsoftrewards@email.microsoftrewards.com to your safe list to ensure you don’t miss communications from the Microsoft Rewards team.
