I really hope the offers update more than once a week, I've got 400 points now, but the only things that interest me are the Amazon giftcards and I'll need almost 700 more points to get a $10 one. I also noticed it says I can get 16 points per day until October 2nd. Is the cap going to go up after that or will they stop giving points for searches? Cause if I have to go just on points for offers it'll take me months to get enough points for a $10 giftcard.

personally i dont think they can make this worthwhile enough to go for anything but ms points it takes to long maybe if they allow u to earn 50 pts per day in searches

I was already using Bing, thus not bad for ~400 MSP for doing the stuff I'd already be doing. I think I could've done 10-20 more if I had done searches for the sake of searching, but it's not worth the loss of time.

It cracks me up when Microsoft releases shit like this that doesn't even work on all of their own operating systems (Running an OEM of XP-64). Really...And they wonder why people pirate their software and operating systems.

I hate Microsoft with such a passion.

Did you try the 32-bit version of IE? I believe others have said that it works there.

Interesting, gonna need to keep an eye on this

Anyone having trouble with the Bing Maps offer?
It won't add up the credits for it.

Anyways, I am now up to 406 points, with 5 searches per 1 credit, up to 16 a day, and offers for 12
Ordered my points yesterday, so seems like I should get them by Tuesday

It worked fine for me

Works fine now, turns out you have to install all that stuff that pop ups for the maps to actually work

I am now up (down to, actually) to 34 points after ordering my 4th 100MSP code.

That would be 100 points every 2 days, thus 1500 points in a month.
Not counting the offers. 5 offers every Sunday, up to 12 points per one offer. 240 a month
1700MSP every month for free?
Won't happen

I just sent for my fourth 400 points today.

Lucked into 250 with 5 12 point clicks on Friday and hit another five today.

Amazon doesn't look too bad, but I'm snagging them through swagbucks and the Microsoft points come out to $1.25 in value, the Amazon cards $1.08.

You know you're a CAG when you're calculating values for cents on the dollar.

Do we have any idea why some people are getting 12 points per offer, rather than 6?

Random for each account. It can be as small as 3, 6 or 12 for each one

I get capped at 8 for searches and crappy 6 point offers. Only have 328 points and now XBLA points are gone.

I'll try this

I just checked and they're still there.
I doubt they'll take them out or change the price before the 2nd of October

Got it. That's a very strange way of doing this.

I get 1 point for ever 2 searches, up to 16 a day. I'm up to 434 points.

That would be the best offer, opterasis.
I get 1 credit for 5 searches, up to 16 credits a day = 90 searches for 16 points
I have the same amount of credits atm

If you want to get MSP, I would advise to order them asap if you have the credits.
We have no idea when the offer will end, the 2nd of October is probably the date when the whole credit system will get an upgrade = possible Redemption Center changes
