On Bing:

Is it better to keep the streak going or keep resetting and getting 75 points for 3 day streak and let it reset. It seems like sometimes the days are long just for 150 points. If it's 8 or more, wouldn't it be better to miss 1 10pt click and reset it? I guess 8 it's the same so 9 or more?
Isn't a 3 day streak just 45 points, based on streaks being worth 15 points per day? Or is that initial 3 day day worth more?

If you break the streak then it could mean you didn't earn the points for the previous day which is 150. You would lose out in the long run.
You can still do the daily searches and break the streak if you don't complete the 3 things in the "daily set" section of the dashboard.

 
I just hit day 111. As people said each streak is worth (number of days x 15). So 3 day streak is 45 and ten day streak is 150.

To me that means it’s not worth resetting. Think of it as you get extra 15 points per day if you keep the streak.

That also means if you lose the streak you are fine since you aren’t losing out on some big streak bonus. Though I was hoping for something for hitting day 100

Yeah 3 days is 45 pts. I just got that bonus today. Actually makes me feel a bit better knowing it's just 15pts per day because I've let two separate 40+ streaks go and bummed because I thought I missed out on huge chunks of points.

Oh okay, if it's only 45 then it def is better to keep the daily set going. I was thinking it was 75 for 3 days so the math was starting to seem like it was better to reset it.
 
It's been a while since I got anything from Bing rewards. I see the spacebucks expire 90 days after deposit. If you buy something from Live, does it use this money first or what you may already have in your account?

 
Ok so I just cashed in for three Microsoft credit codes, but the emails that were supposed to have the codes I received were blank. I can only see the Microsoft logo. Anyone else have this problem?
 
Someone asked if we actually had to dl 2 GwG games to get credit for the Xbox Quest and the preliminary answer I have is "Yes" based on the following.

According to, https://www.xboxliveoffers.com/en-us/quests?OfferID=43E2872E-B2D8-424D-A522-9AA57DDE0558&autosignin=1, I currently only have one GwG downloaded. Prior to the current two GwG games being available, the link showed I had not dl'ed any meaning I didn't get credit for Streets of Rage (downloaded) and Super Mega Baseball 2 (added to my account but not downloaded) as I did these on 04/30. I downloaded Vanquish and added but did not dl MGS V: Phantom Pain to my account and now my current status shows 1 GwG dl'ed. I won't be able to actually dl MGS until near the end of the month since I'm down to 75 gigs on my data allowance for the month. I also don't know if dl'ing the first 2 GwG games for June in May (since they will most likely be available on the 31st) will count towards May's Quest but you shouldn't really need to do this.

If anyone else has any other info, please post.

I saw the same thing... but I also noticed along the way a thing that said they don't mail codes - it's all direct deposit. Mine was deposited almost instantly.

 
so the microsoft credit from bing is only good for 90 days? that seems like a ridiculously short time, especially considering how terrible the sales normally are

sit on it till near the end and if nothing pops up use it to buy something you've been waiting to go on sale that never does and count it as a win

a lot of rewards type stuff usually comes with exp dates, it's not long but it's not terribly unreasonable considering it's just from clicking shit on a browser every day

Worst case scenerio, I pair it with some discounted XBL credits and get a huge discount on a game I want.

$50 card for $40 combine w $10 Bing credit, get a $60 digital game for $40 out of pocket, not to shabby, or if it drops to $45 on a sale, even better, then you have $15 leftover that doesn't expire from the discounted card.

Dang, Fight Night Champion has some terrible frame rate drops. Sad.

Tried out the champion mode as well as fight now/exhibition, and in both the game runs way worse than on 360.

So my work has asked me to spend about 1.2 million dollars in 10 days. I never thought spending money would be such a pain in the ass. It is only compounded by my need to get the best deals but not having the time to do it.

Sounds like if you don't spend it you lose it from the next year's budget. You can never go wrong with high-end office supplies!

 
Never did understand that budget mentality. I'd be more willing to give someone the budget they're asking for if I know they'll use it wisely than to give someone who only thinks about spending the money.

yeah

waste on crap this year so you can waste on crap next year

that's typically government style jobs, private jobs want their workers to reuse staples 4 times and shake pens a minimum of 3 days before replacing

Sounds like you need a couple of these.

Varidesks for everyone. If you get the fully tricked out set I believe it's $1400 a pop, that should make a nice dent quickly.

 
With the Fandango app and renting a movie, I think it can link to other apps like VUDU, Movies Anywhere etc. Are rentals able to viewed on other apps or just purchases as I can't get the fandango app on my Android TV box.

On another note the Guardian Trials Add On for Super Lucky's tale, I know it is already at a low price but shouldn't it get a discount for Super Lucky's Tale in Gamepass, or does it have to be in there a certain amount of time. I thought the time only was to get 20% off on games in gamepass.

Pretty sure only purchases, could easily have misunderstood though.

Gamepass discount doesn't stack with sale price, me remembers.

I had credit about a year ago that was about to expire and I called customer service and they reset the expiration for me. Likely ymmv but you never know.
Honestly though using the credit for 12 months of live seems to be the best value. Pretty easy to get 2-3 years ahead.

I haven't paid for live the past couple years, even at 29,000 bing points, that 12 month live is a good deal. Keeps me from paying for it out of pocket.

 
Is there a way to see when your all your Microsoft credit expires? It seems to only show anything coming up in the next month or so. I had two notices that $5 was expiring 5/16 and another $5 on 5/29. I went and bought a game over $20 last night and it still says I have $5 expiring on 5/16 but the 5/29 notice is gone. Seriously arent they supposed to take the oldest credit first?
