Microsoft Rewards
Microsoft Rewards is a free programme that gives points for things you do every day. You’ll get points when you search on Bing.com and buy things from the Microsoft Store online or in Windows 10. Check out the Rewards page. We add new ways to earn every day.
With Microsoft Rewards, you don’t have to make a promise or pay anything. It’s part of your Microsoft account, so you must sign up, stay signed in, and go.
You’ll have more chances to get great prizes as you earn more points. We make it easy to keep track of your progress toward anything you want, like gift cards, sweepstakes, and charitable donations.
If you were a Bing Rewards member before, keep going! Your account changed over to Microsoft Rewards on its own. Visit rewards.microsoft.com to see what’s new. Have fun!
Note: In some countries/regions, you may not get points for searching on Bing.com or buying things from the Microsoft Store on Xbox.
Getting started with Microsoft Rewards
You only need a Microsoft account to start getting rewards from Microsoft. It lets you connect to everything Microsoft with just one sign-in. Go to Microsoft Rewards right now to sign up. Follow the steps to create a Microsoft account after clicking “Sign up for free.”
If you have a Microsoft account already, that’s great! (Not sure? If you’ve ever played Xbox, used Skype, or have a Hotmail or Outlook email account, you probably have a Microsoft account. The Rewards programme is free and comes with your account. Make sure you’re signed in, go to the Rewards page, and start exploring. The same is true for people who have used Bing Rewards before. Your account was automatically switched to Microsoft Rewards, and your points went with it.
How to earn Microsoft Rewards points
It’s easy to get Microsoft Rewards points and use them to get great things like gift cards, movies, games, donations to good causes, and more. Keep your Microsoft account signed in, and you’ll get points for doing things you already do. Here are some ways you can earn Microsoft Rewards points:
- Use Bing to search (level up faster by searching with Bing on Microsoft Edge).
- Use the search box on the taskbar of your Windows 10 device to search the web.
- You can buy things from Microsoft Store online from your phone, Xbox One, the Microsoft Store app on your Windows 10/11 or Windows 8.1 device, or the web. See Shop and earn Microsoft Rewards points for more information.
- Use Cortana to do a Bing search.
- Check out both the “Earn” and the “Points” pages. There are new ways to earn points daily, like quizzes and trivia games, so check back often!
- On Xbox One, you can play certain games or do certain quests. Start by opening the Rewards app. See Earn rewards on Xbox for more information.
Set Bing as your default search engine, and use the Bing app or the Microsoft Launcher for Android app to search with Bing on your phone or tablet and earn points. Use the Microsoft Edge app to get even more points. (Not all ways to get mobile rewards are available in all areas.)
There is no cash value for Microsoft Rewards points. Most of the time, you need about 5,000 points to get something that costs $5.
They will expire unless you do something to earn Microsoft Rewards points for 18 months.
Note: Buying things from the Microsoft Store on Xbox may only give you points in some countries or regions.
*some daily limits and rules vary by country and area.

You can save for a big item or spend your points on smaller rewards. However you want to use your points, we’re here for you. We’ll track how far along you are with your points, so you can keep earning and spending without having to count on your fingers.

About Microsoft Rewards status levels
There are two levels of status in Microsoft Rewards: Level 1 and Level 2. Level 2 status is earned and kept by getting 500 Microsoft Rewards points every month. How you get points doesn’t matter; they all count toward your status.
Members at Level 2 can earn five times more points on Bing.com, save up to 10% on rewards from Microsoft products and services, and get access to special offers. Check your Rewards page to see if there are any new offers.
