    Who Is Microsoft Rewards For?

    Microsoft Rewards is for those who frequently use (or are willing to switch to) Microsoft products like Bing, Xbox, Windows, etc. and are looking to earn some rewards for doing things they already do. This platform won’t earn you a fortune, but it can provide some nice bonuses here and there in exchange for a small time commitment.

    If you’re not interested in using Microsoft products or you’re looking for something with a stronger earning potential, Microsoft Rewards probably isn’t for you.

    How Does Microsoft Rewards Work?

    For Members

    Microsoft Rewards members can earn points for taking part in a variety of activities and tasks like searching on Bing, taking quizzes, and more. Points earned can then be used to redeem rewards like products, gift cards, and more. 1 Microsoft Rewards point = $0.00076-$0.001

    Getting started:

    To become a Microsoft Rewards member, all you need to do is sign up for a free Microsoft account. When creating a Microsoft account, you'll be asked to provide your email (or phone number), a password, and your name.

    Once you have an account, you’ll be able to start taking part in the Microsoft Rewards program. You can access your Rewards dashboard through a browser (use the “View Platform” button above) or by downloading the Microsoft Rewards app on your Xbox.

    Earning money:

    Once you’re on the Microsoft Rewards dashboard, you’ll see an overview of your account and a collection of money-making tasks and activities. You’ll also see some up-for-grabs rewards, but we’ll talk about those later.

    Some of the first activities/tasks you’ll see on your dashboard will be your “Daily Set” tasks. These reward you for things like taking quizzes, answering surveys, viewing web articles, etc. and as you might have already guessed, they change every day.

    Completing your Daily Set for multiple days in a row will earn you streak bonuses, which instantly award you with extra points.

    Below the Daily Set tasks, you’ll find the Quests and Punch Cards section. Quests and Punch Cards are groups of tasks that you must fully complete in order to earn points. For example, a Punch Card might award you with 50 points for reading an article, answering a quiz, and making a web search.

    Finally, below the Quests and Punch Cards section, you’ll find the “More Activities” section. This fills up with any tasks you’ve missed over previous days (if any).

    Besides these showcased tasks, you can also earn Microsoft Rewards points by:

    • Searching with Bing. Each search gets you points, up to a certain limit per day. You’ll earn bonus points if you use the Microsoft Edge browser.
    • Shopping in the Microsoft Store. Every dollar you spend earns you points.

    Ok – that sums up the browser-based tasks.

    If you have access to the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox, you’ll also be able to take part in daily, weekly, and monthly tasks exclusive to the console. No console? You can also download the Xbox app for PC or mobile to find similar exclusive tasks.

    The tasks you’ll find through these portals typically reward you for playing games. If you have the Xbox Game Pass, you’ll have access to additional gaming opportunities through there as well.

    Want to earn more?

    By earning at least 500 points per month, you’ll level up your account to Level 2. Being Level 2 allows you to earn more points per day via Bing search, increases the number of points you get for each dollar spent in the Microsoft store, and gives you other perks like access to exclusive member-only events.

    Low effort, especially good for Xbox owners, but not the best payout options

    Rated 4 out of 5
    1 year ago

    MS Rewards is a decent way to passively earn some money on the side searching and playing games, a decent beermoney program in my eyes.

    If I was to recommend MS Rewards to anybody specifically it would be to anybody who actively plays games an Xbox, as MS Rewards offers Xbox GC rewards.

    Pros:

    I like being able to earn passively just by searching on bing, and doing games. Not having to put in that much effort for MS Rewards is really what makes it a quite nice beermoney site.

    You could possibly also earn MS Rewards points on Xbox, by playing games or doing other tasks, making it more appealing to Xbox owners like me.

    Cons:

    The rewards catalog lacks some important options for me like Amazon and Paypal

    Tips:

    Get to the Level 2 loyalty level so you can get more points, so you must get 500 MS Rewards points each month

    Try not to use bots and cheat on MS Rewards to get more searches
