this pisses me off immensely, i was soo close to redeeming.

At this point I'd rather just take the Amazon gc. (hopefully they don't raise that as well)

So I was finishing up my searches today.

Oh and for fun, type in "why are" into the bing bar and check out the first suggested autofinish.

Kind of disappointing that they did jack the price of MS points up. I just got 400 credits yesterday.

I maxed out the 360 points (3000) a while ago. If that is still the limit. I just do the special searches now. Since I can only get 8 points a day, at 5 searches per point... It's kinda time consuming

yeah that 3 minutes it takes to click the suggested search terms is really a time killer to do 40 searches

They did.

does anyone know how long it takes to recieve a amazon code and how you recieve it?

I usually receive it around 10-11am whether I order it 12mn or 8am

100pts isnt that big of a deal since they increased the points from last month. At 20 searches plus 12pts in offers every couple of days it only takes a few days to get 100. It mostly sucks for the accounts that get 10 or less pts for searches. I'll easily make it to 500 before the current search offer gets reset to something else next month.

I knew they were going to make it harder to get ms pts which I why I spend my balance as soon as possible, people shouldnt be saving their points, its only going to get worse. Im guessing their next move will be an increase from 400 to 500 or 600 cards.

I doubt they'll increase the MS Points you get, but I'm sure they will increase the amount you have to earn to redeem one. They will continue to push to see how much people will put up with and still do the searches.
I went from several a week to now waiting 2-3 weeks from the increase in points required and the low amount of points per search. I guess I'll just have to try harder and get what I can.

They would also increase the price to reflect the additional points. They cant charge too much for 400, their only other option is to give more points if they want to raise the price.

Yeah the increase sucks but it's real hard for me to complain about free msp for something that takes about 2 minutes a day.

The amazon card may be a slightly better deal now but I'll still get the msp because I can never have enough and it's just so damn easy.

They go pretty fast when you're on a Rock Band Store spending spree

How did you do that? I have only got 1200 points and I regularly get the daily searches done.

Because different people get different amounts of points. The program has been going for 6 months. If someone was getting 20 points per day that entire time they'd have gone past 3000 without even doing any of the offers.

Damn, just found out about the 100 credits increase for MSP. I just got to 1604 credits and I was going to redeem them for A World of Keflings and Raskulls when they go on sale. Oh well, can't complain too much for something that's free and simple. It would feel weird getting MSP now, so I might just get an amazon gift card.

I'm with you and a lot of other people, I'm just gonna go for the Amazon giftcard now. The difference between it and 400 MS points is minimal and having Amazon.com credit gives me the option to spend it on a game or toward 1600 points anyway. 400 MS points at the price they are now just isn't attractive enough to spend on.

how many accounts can i create per IP address? i have a dual boot computer with 2 diff OS on it, can i install a bing on each? will MS discover your using bing on multiple computers from 1 ip address? has anyone made multiple accounts in bing from the start in october and not been banned by MS? should i create bing accounts on other computers i have or will i get banned? whats your experience? thanks

I just found out about the 100 point increase yesterday after reaching exactly 400 points. & I was planning on using that to get a 800 MSP game since I had another 400 points from doing Bing....

Guess they did it since they increased the amount you're allow to buy?

The only problem with this is that you can't stack Amazon gift codes on purchases.
