I got my recent Bing order in less than 2 hours this morning. Very impressed with that. I've switched from MS points over to Amazon giftcards. Maybe that had something to do with it...

I'd bet it's due to a decrease in redemptions because of the point cuts.

My offer stayed the same. Only the date changed... Earn 1 credit per 2 Bing searches up to 8 a day until July 30th...prob cause I'm so new to it..

I sent an order for MS points last Sat and I'm still waiting...=/

My points/seraches didn't change for July, but I'm still getting double points while at work, at least.

I'm at 1936 now, so I think I'll keep going until I hit $20 in Amazon GC...

Has anyone tried to redeem their 400 pt codes on an account from another region? I guess I'm wondering if this would be a way to get Japanese microsoft points for purchases on the marketplace as opposed to paying an arm and a leg for points cards on ebay or play asia.

Microsoft Points ARE NOT region locked.

Xbox LIVE Subscriptions ARE region locked.

I thought Bing was limited to US residents? Does this work for people in other countries? My friend complains that he can't sign up since he lives in Canada.

if one tries hard enough, one can do almost anything

I hope there will be an increase next month -_-

Actually point cards are region locked which is why I was asking about these codes. You cannot redeem a US point card on a Japanese account and vice versa.

From what zz17 posted it sounds like these codes will redeem on at least a European account. I'm guessing they would work on a Japanese account as well. I'll have to try it out next time I have enough points for a code.

At 3 points per special offer and 10 points from searching a day, I'm about ready to give up unless it goes up again. It's not worth the hassle anymore when I only earn $5 in points every 6 weeks.

Yeah I don't plan on keeping up with this after I get my MSP, that 250 points for signing up is a large chunk.

how do you trade bing points away?

I'm not sure I understand your question but you can't trade Bing points. What you can trade is the code for 400 MSP that you get by redeeming 500 Bing points.

on some thread some people mentioned that they can trade some of their bing points away. (Not for prizes. Their actual bing points)

The Points codes from Bing don't work on Canadian accounts.

Just ordered my 6th $5 amazon card. I think I may be done, the points have just gotten too low to keep me cracking away daily for $5 every month and a half.
