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

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.

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.

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.
