What is it?
Bing Rewards gives you credits for searching and trying out new Bing features. Those credits can be redeemed for prizes and raffle entries.

How do I join?
Sign up here using a Windows Live ID.

How do I earn credits?
Each day you get 1 credit for every two searches on Bing up to 15 total credits. There is also a daily task worth 1 credits. It can be found on this discover page. There are also a number of one-time credits that can be earned on that discover page. As you earn more credits (and complete certain other conditions), you will increase your status (Silver, Gold) which will give you bonuses like discounts on rewards and one-time credit bonuses.

How do I get prizes?
The redemption page is here. Prizes include a variety of different digital gift cards, but the best values and most popular for CAGs are the gifts cards for Amazon.com and Microsoft Points. 400 ms points cost 500 credits which take approximately one month to earn. MSP codes are delivered as quickly as an hour or two, but may take up to 24 hours. Another good prize are Tango Gift Cards, which are cheaper than Amazon GCs on Bing Rewards and can be converted to a variety of GCs (including Amazon GCs)

There are also occasionally hot deals on prizes. Most notably 400 msp codes were on sale for 300 credits and 100 msp codes for 100 credits. It may be worth it to hang on to points if they continue to periodically do this.

Note:
According to the Bing Rewards ToS, you are allowed 5 accounts per household. Having more than that will put your account(s) at risk for being banned.

What to do if your account(s) are improperly banned?
1. Immediately email Bing Rewards Customer Support here
2. File a complaint via the BBB

I'll be sure to keep an eye on this.

I downloaded the Bing Bar and it works in firefox.

Awesome, worked no problems. 200 MS points on the way. After the offers and searches I'm only 25 points away or so from another 100.

I like that the have the Amazon gift cards.

I'll sign up for this as long as the tool bar is Win 7 - 64 bit compatible...unlike the club bing toolbar which is not.

Odd, it wasn't loading for me earlier. Maybe my addons window was still up and Firefox never fully closed. I'll update the post. Thanks.

edit: This thing has to go. It freezes up my browser for 2-10 seconds when I switch tabs in Firefox.

Yeah, it's really slowing down my tabs. Oh well back to IE.

Works fine for me.

If you do the max searches per for 20points.
And do all the current offers from today

You will have 300 points in less then 5 minutes.

300 easy microsoft points.

Now the real deal is to try and find any other good offers that gve lots of points.


free is good.

What do you mean max searches? I can't do anymore and I'm at 275.

It slows down tabs for me in Firefox 3.6. However, considering how bad my PC is at work, I can live with it. Besides, for free Microsoft Points, it's worth the hassle.

Thanks much OP.

Looks promising. I'm signing up.

Thanks louie.

100 searches per day earns you 20 points.
+ 6points x 5 offers (links u click) = 30points

+ 250 for signing up = 300.

Ok. I didn't notice the 100 searches a day part.

I don't have the 100 searches a day part. All I can do is get 1 point for every 2 searches up to 8 points total a day. So I maxed out at 288 points after the other 6 point offers. Still a good way to get some easy Microsoft points for free.

good stuff

Hmmm, are they giving different limits to different people during the preview? I get 1 point for every 2 searches for a maximum of 10 points a day. There were 5 additional offers at 3 points each. That gave me a maximum of 25 earned points today + my 250 for signing up.

100 MS points? That's all I needed to see. Changing homepage to Bing... now

I was able to get 326 points today. Thanks, OP!

I get 20 points for searching 40 times, and I had five special offers worth 6 points each.
