What is Microsoft Rewards?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Microsoft Rewards is a lot like any loyalty program. It rewards you with points for using its products and services, such as shopping in the Microsoft Store, using its Edge browser, and searching with Bing. There are also other ways to earn, such as doing quizzes and clicking links, and you get 100 points just for taking the Rewards tour. <\/span><\/p>\n

You can then redeem your points for sweepstake entries, gift cards, Xbox game passes, charitable donations, and much more. According to Microsoft, you need around 5,000 points to earn enough for a $5 reward. That sounds like a lot, but it\u2019s actually quite doable when you realize how little you need to do to earn points.<\/span><\/p>\n

How do you register?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Microsoft Rewards is free to join, but you must have a Microsoft account. So if you don\u2019t have one, <\/span>sign up<\/span><\/a> now.<\/span><\/p>\n

Once signed in, just head over to the Rewards tab. You\u2019ll then get the “tour” as a series of pop-ups (like the one below) that explain how Rewards works, and at the end, you\u2019ll receive 100 points. A nice little start to your pot. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Before you look into earning points, you might want to set a goal first. This helps motivate you to earn points by setting a target for you to hit, which can be anything from a donation to your favorite charity or a shiny new Xbox One. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How do you earn points?<\/b><\/h2>\n

There are lots of ways to earn points. Two of the simplest are to use Microsoft\u2019s Edge browser and Bing search. This might be a bit painful if you\u2019re used to Chrome and Google, but are they<\/em> also offering you free stuff? No? So, maybe it\u2019s worth the switch.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from using Bing and Edge, you can play games, enter competitions, and shop online to earn points. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There\u2019s also the Daily Set \u2013 three daily tasks that when done every day for a 3-day run, earn you an extra 45 points.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the top of the \u201cEarn\u201d tab you\u2019ll find your profile and points, so you can keep track of your progress. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve gone past 500 points you\u2019ll \u201clevel up\u201d and be able to collect even more points for the same activities. <\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

How do you redeem points?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Once you\u2019ve reached your points goal, or earned enough to start swapping points for prizes, head over the \u201cRedeem\u201d tab. Here you\u2019ll find a broad selection of treats to spend your points on, or you can donate the points to charities for an equivalent cash amount. <\/span>For some charities, Microsoft will even match your donation dollar for dollar. Just click on what you want to redeem your points for and follow the instructions from there.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

That sums up Microsoft\u2019s Rewards program. It\u2019s actually a very easy-to-use program \u2013 just make sure you\u2019re always logged into your Microsoft account, otherwise your points won\u2019t be registered.<\/span><\/p>\n
