r/MicrosoftRewards

My account has been showing 3K estimated bonus all month. Then it changed to 2K around September 27 or 28. Then I got the banner about a known problem. Points became available this morning with the surprise of a full bonus.

Since I'll get a million "how?!" comments. I do a combination of my own searches and suggested searches throughout the day. Some days it's mostly suggested, others it's mostly my own. When I search, I'm looking for complex answers, e.g. "how do I do X in software Y?" or "what is this thing doing XYZ called?" Hilariously, Bing fails frequently, so I have to waste time with a few queries before switching to Google to get what I need. My suggested searches are "cards" from city/animal/TV show details in daily and news on the mobile app.

I know, not bragging just happy and wanted to share with some like folks

Had a 3400 bonus did not even realized, went over 100,000 when I collected

Should I redeem asap? Can get $95 Amazon. So worried that price is gonna go up eventually....

Besides of getting more points at the end of the month, even if you dont reach 60/60 everyday, you still get more knowledge for every genuine question.

I was stuck at 480 for months, until i decided to stop the recommend searches and finally i saw improvement after 30 days. And i already collected them, it was appearing only 3 points in the Ready to Claim tab, but when i tapped to claim those 3 pts i ended up collecting 1803 pts

Simply do it with your XBOX. I do have Microsoft Edge on my MacBook Pro M4 PRO - but it never worked for me on macOS no matter how long or what I tried.

On XBOX I simply watch a little bit of YouTube on the Edge Browser and it works just fine as it identifies as a Windows-Browser on Rewards.

Sorry if it has been obvious for many - just thought I would leave it here.

Can anyone help me? I have been trying to do this task since ages but it just refuses to work. I have used edge for even 1hrs~2hrs and it just refuses to register them. I have tried using the task link and even just normally opening and using it.

I'm from Nepal and this what they offer as redeem options over here. I have seen that in other countries they give a much larger variety of redeemable options.

Which country are you guys from and, what options do you guys get?

Is this actually back and going to work?

I made a iOS shortcut for anyone who uses iOS/iPadOS which searches bing and google for your search query at the same time. So you get to use google for your results while getting rewards credit from bing.

It lives in the share sheet (little box with the arrow pointing up) so it’s easily activated from the browser.

Also it uses edge browser for bing and safari for google, but that’s easily changed in the shortcut by swapping which browsers are used for searches.

I started using Microsoft rewards when I was doing the Reddit streaks and I had a sudden realization that Reddit streaks didn’t really have the same component as Microsoft rewards so I quit doing Reddit streaks and just focused on my Microsoft rewards. So far in 180 days which is the farthest I’ve ever gotten in Microsoft rewards and I’ve had it since almost it’s inception so far I have been able to purchase GTA 6 ultimate edition using only my Microsoft rewards points and so far after purchasing GTA 6 I’ve already gotten to 20,000 points again. This is my first major milestone every time I’ve used this rewards program in the past the furthest I’ve ever gotten was maybe a month until I started focusing on it just as much as I did with the Reddit streaks. On my work days sometimes I miss some of my points just because it’s hard to keep up during work but so far I’ve already made over (us $140-$150) within my 180 day streak. Time to work on a year and then after that 999 days! Happy to be here!

I just got my "rewards(🤦🏽‍♂️😬), and now I understand that ni need to varied and spread my searches... Well use bing as a daily life search engine...

Now my question is: this is an score count, that started yesterday, and finish October 31st, and then, the subsequent days of November, accordingly to the score I earned through out October, is the amount of points I'm getting in November?.

Thanks in advance, and sorry for the troubles.

does anyone else know when they released this quest? I had been seeing that the reward was not giving any search quests and i found out theres a weekly quest. When was this even added? Have I been missing out on 70 points for weeks by now??
