Bing Rewards & Microsoft Rewards
Bing Rewards had been introduced as a platform to earn credit whenever you search on Bing. You will need to use the Bing features to get credits that ultimately will help you buy things from Microsoft store.
Launched in 2010, Bing Rewards was a smart way of letting people use Bing more than the Google Search engine. Kind of like a bribe that eventually will increase the number of using Bing.com and if you think harder, these kinds of programs are already there in the market to lure consumers. The initiative had been quite successful and shockingly increased the number of users searching on Bing way more than it was in 2010.
How Bing Rewards Function?
For every 2 searches on Bing, you get 1 credit and obviously, the company needs to put a cap over the credits. So, the maximum you can have in a day is 15 credits.
All you need to do is login to the Bing account and start searching stuff on the platform instead of some other platform you are currently using.
Once you are done for the day, you can check your Bing Rewards on the dashboard.
Apart from working on your own, you can earn more Bing Rewards by referring the concept to your friends or contacts. Refer & Earn. An old concept that has made users switch from one platform to another in no time.

You cannot decide the retailer or any specific outlet to redeem the rewards as every item that can be bought has its price (in points) along with image description.

Final Thoughts on Microsoft Rewards
Whenever we use something as a consumer, that goes with either the brand name or the experiences other users have had in the past. And Microsoft stands tall for both the scenarios as it’s one of the most valuable brands in the world and surely it has a lot of consumers who are quite satisfied with its services.
Microsoft Rewards has let a lot of users buy stuff they wanted with the loyalty system. One of the best things is that there is no fee involved to use the platform and it’s quite easy to earn points to be redeemed later on. However, a lot of the users find it hard to use Bing instead of any other search engines such as Google.
Just to give my opinion, there is no harm in using the Microsoft Rewards loyalty program as it gives you options to get things on a discounted price or just the points you earned. The things you need to do such as using Bing.com or completing the daily/weekly tasks can be considered as digital hard work. And there is no reward without performing any hard work actually.
