My Streak has finally stopped updating after 206 days... 206 Days of consistency all being risked by a glitch. I tried to do them today but it did not count to 207. I'll try again tonight at midnight after 1AM PDT to kind of see if it might update again (doing it slower, or other ways), but as of right now, my streak is wrong by a day. I tried contacting support but waiting for a response. I'll give an update once something happens (or not).

[UPDATE] This is the list of all 41 (NOT 40) "Explore On Bing" Search Terms, as of 6/15/26.

Sometimes, searching for 10 points on the "Explore on Bing" section can be annoying. That's why this list was made. This is the list of all 41 (not 40) "Explore on Bing" activities and their valid search terms. This is designed to fix all problems with "getting no points when searching the right term" on Microsoft Rewards. Let me know if there are any activities missed or any updates to the list (if the search term does not qualify for 10 points when searched or etc).

[Certain letters may be skipped as Microsoft does not have any "Explore on Bing" activities for those letters. Some activities may have alternate versions ("Freshen up your routine" is an alternate to "Glow up", "Explore Videogames" is an alternate to "Gaming Time").]

Not to complain that I would prefer level 2, but I still see "Level 2" in the U.S. The end of May is in 2 days. When will I see the "3500 points Bing STAR Bonus"? Tonight possibly or tomorrow night

I have been wondering, how many days it takes for the 1,000 Point Puzzle Piece and 150 points Streak Bonus to pay out on the same day? I have got the answer to the 1,150+ (or 1,300+) point suprise:

Before the explanation, there has to be a specific layout: Since the 150 point Streak Bonus pays out on days ending with 4 from the 34th day, the Puzzle Completion days must happen on even numbered Streak Days (because the puzzle takes 84 days (if 1 streak), 42 days (if 2 streaks), or 28 days (if 3 streaks)) to complete. This is optional: To recieve maximum satisfaction, you can also align the puzzle in multiples of 2 (if there are 2 puzzle streaks), so that when you claim the first one you will be at 2/12, then so on until 12/12, though you do not need to for the 1,300+ point suprise, it still the exact same if you have 1/12 already and claim 2 puzzles at a time, you will still get the 1,300+ point suprise, though your puzzle will end at 1/12 again instead of a full completion.

Now time for the math:

This is the math for 1-3 puzzle streaks.

1 Puzzle Streak: If there's 1 puzzle streak, the puzzle will take 84 days to finish. (1 puzzle per 7 days * 12 = 84 days). To find the meeting point of the Puzzle Completion and the Streak Bonus, we take the LCM of the 84 day cycle and the 10 day cycle. LCM(84, 10) = 420. It will take 420 days for them to pay out on the same day.

2 Puzzle Streaks: For 2 puzzle streaks, the puzzle will take 42 days to finish. (2 puzzles per 7 days * 12 = 42). To find the meeting point of the Puzzle Completion and the Streak Bonus, we take the LCM of the 42 day cycle and the 10 day cycle. LCM(42, 10) = 210. It will take 210 days for the big payout with 2 streaks.

3 Puzzle Streak: For 3 puzzle streaks, it works the exact same but with 28 days. (3 puzzles per 7 days * 12 = 28 days). It is the exact same: LCM of 28, 10, which makes 140 days. The Puzzle Completion + Streak Bonus will happen every 140 days.

I have gotten an offer for 500 bonus points for searching Bing for "World Cup". Anyone else gotten this?

Edit: I can't seem to get the day to increase by 1 for searching "world cup" today, maybe tomorrow?

I just checked the dashboard and these activities are back! I can earn about an extra 210-220 points from these (totaling to 310-320 from the old 190).

After Microsoft renamed "Supersonic Quiz" to "Quick Quiz", no need to take 2 minutes to do the quiz anymore, just click it, and close the tab instantly. Microsoft Rewards is now actually encouraging us to be "quick" even though Microsoft Rewards limits how fast you are doing activities. Well done, Microsoft!

Please correct me if I'm wrong; this is just a prediction

Just like the searches following the 25/50/100 structure, will the bonuses follow the 350 (default search bonus), 700 (monthly tier bonus), and 3500 (bing STAR bonus) system? It is 1 and 2/3 times the international one, and I have absolutely no idea if it will be 210/420/2100 or 350/700/3500. I noticed one pattern that make me believe it's 350/700/3500:

Microsoft follows this pattern to the bonuses: 30*7 = 210, 60*7=420, 300*7=2100 (30 and 60 are both the search caps for silver and gold, and I have no idea where 300 came from), so my prediction is that Microsoft Rewards will also follow this but with 50, 100, and 500 instead (50*7=350, 100*7=700, 500*7=3500)
