That would be $300 in XBOX gift cards a year. Just need to decide if you want to pay that to subscribe or use that money to buy games.

I'm up on GP till summer 2027, have been stockpiling points. Should make a good nest egg for the NextBox purchase, if not just outright cover the entire cost.

I used up my points getting GP through 2026.

I'm working my way towards a Switch 2.

 

[Punished Miku]

New points have been glitched for me on the app for almost a week. Feels bad man.

 

[Windle Poons]

I've cashed in 200,000 points for £150 odd of Amazon vouchers.

 

[Pantz]

There was a hidden Clippy on my rewards page, clicking it gave +5 points.

 

[Antwix]

Still annoyed and sad that you cannot redeem for a battle.net gift card

Looks like they've stopped giving extra points for news headlines on the Bing app.

If you do a standard search for News in the Bing app, you can click on articles from there and it will count. It's a workaround.

Mine is still there.

I think I lost that over a year ago. Surprised some folks still got that.

The daily points counter has disappeared from the top of the web rewards page, it's still there on the MSN app.

The web counter was never accurate anyway, it would always show weird numbers.

Looks like the desktop Rewards dashboard is getting a visual overhaul, some regions have it like this now:

2X reward week, but you gotta 'activate' it from the dash.

 

[Windle Poons]

I got that, haven't noticed any difference in points though.

You gotta activate it from the button, the reward total's for the day are doubled (for me at least). From 150/100 (desktop/mobile) to 300/200.

Activated it, but now I am not getting any points for searching.

I meant the button but checked later and all good.

I'd post a meme about my man Adam, but the other fella would get jealous.

I actually did searches over the weekend for the 2x rewards. 500 points in searches is pretty high. I swear some will give me 10 and some give 5.

I think it's always 5 per single search, or at least it's always been like that for me.

I try not to do everything in a single sitting to avoid them putting me on cool-down.

Got another $20 today. With the bonus from buying things, I swear I'm getting around $30 a month free money.

I have gotten over the cool down and spread my searching out a lot.

 

[Windle Poons]

Fuckers.

Complete 3 searches to unlock a year subscription to Telegraph puzzles. Now, Daily Telegraph shite paper but will willingly play the puzzles - especially for free.

Click here to redeem... This offer isn't available in your region.

UK based paper, UK based person. WT actual F...

However they'll let me use my points to get 4 months. So I'm obviously in the right region.

Double Points ACTIVATED

 

[adamsapple]

two weeks of double points.

gotdyam!

I got that too.

 

[Antwix]

i wish they would actually double your points, not just double the cap

 

[Punished Miku]

That would be nice, but they would technically start losing money. This way they get the searches they want and we get points.

 

[Punished Miku]

Can anyone find where rewards are in the Xbox app now? Updated.

Edit: its back

 

[falconhoof]

Has the jigsaw puzzle thing gone now? The one where you need to use Edge for 30 minutes a day?

I don't see it this morning.

 

[Windle Poons]

It hadn't however Bing for iOS had an app update today and the rewards tab has, as usual, gone / fucked up again.

I never update the Bing or MSN apps until I'm forced to. They constantly screw them up.

 

[falconhoof]

The puzzle daily streak has reappeared in Edge now.

 

[Windle Poons]

Its back on the iOS version of the Bing app now.

 

[adamsapple]

Can't see the daily search count on the web interface anymore, sucks that I have to go open the mobile app every time to see how many searches are done.

Looks like you can directly buy games using Reward points without needing to fiddle around with gift cards now.

Pretty good update.

 

[Pantz]

It would be nice if Game Pass could be paid for in points the same way. Please post if if you see it like that. I can't check until mine runs out in a couple years.

Haven't seen that option come up for me (UK)

They stopped it. It's 100% dead that option.

Redeemed most of my last remaining points for a home depot gift card

I swear that check-in pieces on the daily login in the app (android) always seems to reset like halfway on the last set (10 out of 11 or whatever it is). I don't think I've ever completed it fully. Ever. I do this every single morning and I didn't miss a day. I don't have any raw data for this but this seems to happen every time for me. I've noticed this the last few times I've gotten up to this point. Am I being scammed? I think so

 

[Pantz]

Earned around 24,000 points in January. Might have missed around 500-1000 points. Just enough to get a $25 gift card. So it comes up a little short on getting free game pass at $30 a month.

 

[Windle Poons]

Have about 180,000 points left. Have spent a lot on Amazon gift cards.

 

[Windle Poons]

I'm debating trading in 60,000 odd for £50 MS voucher (2 x £25) to put towards Forza Horizon 6.

£110 I think is too expensive in one go so that would ease the burden slightly.

I'm also debating whether or not to get the ultimate edition. Prob not though. I'm likely just gonna preorder the base game first. I'm gonna need some points saved for GTA later in the year.
