The points you earn from the Bing Homepage Quiz and daily searches add up inside Microsoft Rewards, where you can exchange them for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, charity donations and more. This guide explains exactly what you can redeem, how to do it, and how to earn points faster.
How Microsoft Rewards Points Work
You earn points by completing activities such as the Bing Homepage Quiz, daily searches, polls, and special offers while signed in to your Microsoft account. Points accumulate in your Rewards balance and can be redeemed once you reach the amount a reward requires. Reaching Level 2 by earning enough points in a month typically unlocks better redemption rates and higher daily earning limits.
What You Can Redeem Points For
Common redemption options include digital gift cards for popular retailers and the Microsoft Store, sweepstakes entries for larger prizes, donations to charities through partner programmes, and Microsoft products or subscriptions. Exact options vary by country and change over time, so check the Redeem section of your Rewards dashboard for what is currently available in your region.
Step-by-Step: How to Redeem
Sign in at the Microsoft Rewards dashboard, open the Redeem tab, and browse the available rewards. Choose a reward you can afford with your current balance, select it, and confirm the redemption. Gift card codes are usually delivered to your account or email. Keep your account secure, since reward codes have real value.
Level 2 Benefits
Once you reach Level 2, you generally earn more points per search, unlock additional daily activities, and may receive better gift-card pricing. Maintaining a daily streak by completing activities such as the quiz each day is the easiest way to stay at Level 2 and maximise what your points are worth.
Tips to Earn Points Faster
Complete the daily set every day, including the quiz, polls and searches. Use the Bing app for potential streak bonuses, sign in across your devices with the same account, and watch for limited-time offers on the dashboard that award bonus points. Always follow Microsoft's rules, as automation or fake activity can cost you your account and your points.
