General Living Sticky 4 - Updated daily [Tutorial / FAQ / Quests / Punchcards and More]

377 Upvotes

General information is kept updated on a daily basis.
Other information is kept updated on a weekly/monthly basis.

^(\Please note - Images provided within this post are examples of what to expect.)*

REWARDS DASHBOARD ON PC

https://rewards.bing.com/

Daily Set:

The left activity just needs to be opened

The middle activity has been known to fluctuate between lightspeed quizzes through the week and just needing to be opened through the weekend. The lightspeed quizzes don’t need to have the answers guessed. [under review]

The right activity is a daily poll to open through the week, sometimes it requires voting for an answer, other times it doesn't. [under review]

Monthly punch card:

The current monthly punch card for the website dashboard is located below the daily set

This usually lasts for a month at a time, expiring at the end of the month. Some regions can do all activities at once. Some regions have to wait to complete one of the activities per day. This appears to be around 50 points for completion.

More activities: This normally consists of actions to complete

If you have these, you will find them underneath your daily set and/or punch cards, usually worth either 5 or 10 points each. The only ones you need to click on are the ones that indicate points will be added with a golden + in the top right hand corner. You might also find that you have previous quiz options for further points if you hadn't already completed them at the time worth another 30 points each.

BING ON PC

https://www.bing.com/

Searches:

When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that. There are reported instances where there are delays to searching, from a 5 second delay to a 15 minute delay, this seems to vary from person to person. This can also help you attempt to complete a quest for bonus 1000 points for simply searching each day.

Some have noted it can take up to 12 weeks to actually get the 1000 points as you only get one puzzle piece each completed week and there are 12 puzzle pieces.

There is also streak protection but it's still confusing for a lot of people, this - Streak Protection explained - is the closest we've come to actually understanding it and even then people are getting mixed results.

EMAIL

https://outlook.com/

You may have missed these emails, so it’s worth checking the link posted to see if you get points from these

The most recent threads regarding newsletters containing points are here, so it’s worth checking the relevant link posted to see if you get points from these

If you want to subscribe to try to get the newsletter yourself, the link is here.

XBOX APP ON MOBILE

Some of these activities have been deliberately added or removed from users and are are now deemed targeted as a result. May also include activities such as Weekly console bonus and other activities such as Game Pass quests which can also be seen from the Rewards area on Xbox console.

Some users are also showing/receiving incorrect points when it comes to individual activities such as the daily login.

For any further questions regarding these activities please check out this link - faq for xbox app rewards pc and mobile

Australia has been given it's own set of Game Pass quests now

For any further questions regarding these activities please check out this link - Brand new Australia Game Pass quests

Weekly PC bonus has now come to Canada - Weekly PC Bonus Coming To More Regions : r/MicrosoftRewards

BING/START ON MOBILE

https://www.bing.com/

When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that within any browser as long as you use the Bing search.

Bing and Start apps on mobile appear to have daily check-ins and news to read for points, this appears targeted and not much information is known.

GAME PASS APP ON XBOX

Some users are experiencing activities from the Xbox app on mobile showing up alongside their Game Pass quests.

  • Daily Quests:
  1. Play Game Pass [Play any Game Pass game] for 3 points
  2. Earn an Achievement in Game Pass [Earn an achievement in a Game Pass game] for 5 points
  • Weekly Quests:
  1. Complete 3 Daily Quests [Complete 3 daily quests this week] for 20 points
  2. Earn Your Way [Unlock 3 achievements in Game Pass or play 3 different Game Pass games] for 20 points
  • Monthly Quests:
  1. Game Pass Explorer [Play 4 different Game Pass games] for 25 points
  2. Quest Beginner - [Complete 12 daily and 4 weekly quests] for 100 points
  3. Quest Dedication [Complete 22 daily and 6 weekly quests] for 500 points
  4. Quest Completionist [Complete 36 daily and 8 weekly quests] for 1000 points

Please note that while daily quests reset each day and weekly quests reset each week, monthly quests reset on the first Tuesday of the month.

For the Monthly Quests, it might say 'OR' instead of 'AND' on some devices but you do need both to complete, not one or the other.

OTHER/STATUS

A daily timeline of activities, when they reset, what works and what stops working can be found here at this link - microsoft rewards daily timeline when resets

Unless you wish to donate points, make sure on the Rewards dashboard that you have Give Mode turned off.

The redemption limit is 550,000 per calendar year, resetting the first of January every year. This has been confirmed. There is no limit to the amount of points that you can earn

Microsoft and Xbox gift cards both go onto your Microsoft account balance instead of a code sent to your email address

You get 20 points per $ spent for digital purchases like games if you have Live Gold (GPU), 10:1 if you're level 2 without Live Gold, 1 point for hardware per $ spent

When mixing Rewards Balance with credit cards/debit/paypal, STOP. People often have issues and their payment method gets the total charge to it. Buy gift cards online instead for the remainder (you can find them on sale too)

Design lab does not allow purchases with Xbox/Microsoft gift cards from the Rewards program or purchased gift cards according to support

Auto-redeem is usually DELAYED a few days. If you are getting GPU you will receive a code in your email or redemption history. You cannot turn auto-redeem on or off in the last 5 days of a calendar month

Technical issues may appear where your account may show it's lost a streak, whether it's a daily streak, a weekly streak or any other streak. In the majority of times for this scenario, it tends to be a glitch where upon completion of the week that appears lost, your next week should put you back at the streak you had plus the glitched week

If specific activities are not working, they may not be available in your region or they may have been removed completely.

  • If apps, quests or punchcards aren't working correctly, check https://support.xbox.com/xbox-live-status
  • If Cloud gaming, website or anything else isn't working correctly, check https://status.azure.com/status/
  • If the answer you’re searching for can’t be found here, search the subreddit using the search bar function with the relevant keywords before posting in case someone else has mentioned it
  • 'Today's points' are not based on what you've earned that day. They are based on what you have earned from all activities over multiple days.

You can find your order history here

Gold/GPU Conversion Information is here, but the rates have recently changed

Information on sweepstakes can be found here

Other frequently asked questions and their answers can be found here

If you experience a technical issue with your account, including but not limited to your account being suspended, punch cards not tracking or redemptions not being approved, ensure you haven't unintentionally broken the terms of service and then contact the Microsoft Rewards Support Team

There are new rewards tasks only available in the new rewards app. I guess this is an incentive to use the very unnecessary replicate app Microsoft is trying to push on us. Go get your points. 😅

Bing My Microsoft Rewards Guide

29 Upvotes

Prep-

Apps you'll need. Bing. Xbox. Edge.

Other necessities. Microsoft account, valid phone number, an Xbox 1/S/X.

\- Sign into your Microsoft account on Bing.

\- Sign up to the Rewards Program for free.

\- Open Bing and navigate to your rewards page.

\- Do the Streaks. (Daily Check in, Search and Daily Set)

\- Do the Daily Activities. Search a bunch, slowly. Read to earn. (Click it and click through articles)

\- Explore on Bing. Do specific searches that it specifies.

\- Scroll down slightly further. Click those links as well.

\- Open up the Xbox app on your phone and sign in. Opening up the Xbox app each day gives you points.

\-Click your account at the top, then scroll down to play Jewel. Beat a level.

\- On your Xbox, open up the My Rewards page. (Guide, Profile & System, your account, My Rewards) Do this to see a breakdown of ways to get points.

\- Play a Gamepass game for 15 minutes each day. Make it a different game each day.

\- I don't have a PC, but you can also play a PC game with your Xbox account to earn more points.

\- Streaks give bonuses and having Ultimate gives you more. Make this stuff a habit and the points will add up quickly.

\- Open Edge and sign in. Click your account Profile Pic in the top left.

\- Click Microsoft Rewards and then Earn. Scroll down and there should be more to click in "Keep Earning"

\*Gamepass Ultimate Subscription needed for best results

This was put together very quickly. I know a job will bring money much quicker, but free stuff is still free stuff. Doing all of this completely paid for my Series X and Ultimate until 2028.

Questions Limited from logging in?

Upvotes

I was finally free of my account limitation the other day. Everything was fine the night before. I didn't search too much and nothing even near the 100 or 200 limit. I closed all my tabs. I woke up and opened my account and was immediately limited. I really don't know what to do anymore to prevent this. I do 4 searches ever 30 minutes with at least 1 minute between searches. I don't use numbers. I also treat ever link I click on the earn page as a search even if it doesn't award 5 points. I scroll the page a little and always click a link before closing the tab. I try to make each search relevant and different. I don't ever use a VPN. I do a search on mobile every day and everything else on PC through Chrome. I got in that habit, because under the previous UI, sometimes Edge wouldn't even give you points.

It just sucks now because they also take away the dailies with a limited account, so your rank just starts dropping from gold to silver, because you are unable to complete everything. Is this happening more to other people under the new UI or is it just me?

Can someone explain what im doing right here cuase i have no clue how im getting these points and would love to maximize them even more so if i could.

Bing I'm leaking Microsoft Rewards points.

0 Upvotes

I was just looking at my rewards dashboard and over my lifetime I've earned 933,757 points. I've redeemed 563,100 and I'm sitting on a current balance of 290,637. If you do the math I've lost about 80,000 points. I realize that sometimes they expire depending upon how they were acquired but what's the best way to make sure I spend all of my points and don't lose them over time? I have auto redeem setup for the $10 Xbox gift card every month and I spend points when I want to buy some digital games.

What should I be watching to make sure I don't let points disappear?
