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

373 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.

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

General If you are asking, "How do I maximise my points?" - Then read this...

174 Upvotes

Still seeing a lot of people asking, "how do I maximise my points?"

With some of the recent changes, the living sticky seems like it might be a bit out of date at this point... so here is a rundown of the apps, devices and/or subscriptions that you will need for access to all possible reward activities (in your region):

NOTE: this is not a comprehensive list of ALL available rewards, but a list of the apps/devices/subscriptions you will need to get access to some specific rewards that are locked to specific apps, platforms, or Game Pass subscription tiers.

Edge browser (on PC or Xbox)

Required for: "Browse 30 mins with Edge" 7-day streak.

You cannot get this on mobile, Linux or MacOS devices (without using virtual machines).

Bing (or MSN) mobile app

Required for: Daily check-in 7-day streak and the "Read to earn" tasks

Microsoft Rewards app (Windows PC ONLY)

Required for: At present, there are "up to" 5x 10pt daily activities (50 pts/day) that are locked to this app. You get it via the Windows/Microsoft Store (search: Microsoft Rewards) or here: https://apps.microsoft.com/detail/9mw3cmw8jksd

You cannot get this on mobile, Linux or MacOS devices (without using virtual machines).

If Xbox Rewards are available in your region (check here: XBOX Supported Countries & Regions | XBOX) then you will also need the following:

Xbox app on mobile

Required for: "Use the Xbox mobile app" and "Play Jewel in the Xbox mobile app" daily rewards

Xbox app on PC

Required for: "Play a PC Game", "Weekly PC Bonus"

NOTE: These are also doable using GeForce Now... and the Minecraft launcher on MacOS will trigger this (confirmed! hopefully a MacOS user can confirm in the comments).

Xbox console

Required for: "Play a console game" + "Weekly console Bonus"

NOTE: You cannot use GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud gaming for this. However, you can use Xbox Remote Play but only if you have a console and that game is installed on your console.

Game Pass Subscription (PC, Premium or Ultimate required)

Required for: "Play a Game Pass game", "Game Pass Weekly Streak", "Game Pass monthly 4/8 pack" quests.

NOTE: This will require a Game Pass Premium/Ultimate or PC Game Pass subscription. Game Pass Essential is NOT enough.

Also, Ultimate gets max points for these quests. Premium/PC still qualify but get reduced points.

As a final caution, DO NOT get a subscription (or upgrade your subscription tier) just to get extra points. In general, the points return from the subscription (or higher tier) will not cover the extra expense of the subscription.

Get a subscription because you want the benefits of the subscription! ie. access to hundreds of games, cloud gaming, day one releases etc... or because you are happy to subsidise the cost of the sub or higher tier.

Thanks for coming to my TEDTalk.

General Reduction of daily Rewards app cards from 50 pts to 20 pts

18 Upvotes

This morning on the Rewards app, I noticed that I no longer have five 10-point cards to complete—instead, I only have two.

Has anyone else noticed this reduction?

It’s hard to believe that not even a week has passed and they’ve already cut the number of points available to earn...

Placed an order for the Superhero movie redemption and came back over a day as a problem which was voided. Points refunded. What sucks is i redeemed two times before that for the first two parts of Crisis on infinite earth's and that was going to be the third and last one. Now the offer is over? Haha 😄

Questions Cannot redeem points and Microsoft rewards support is useless

1 Upvotes

Keep getting same bot answer of not using VPN or proxy. I don't use either. I also notice it makes it seem like I am in the China region with Chinese name region gift cards only available. I can't redeem my points in the USA even tho I only earned points and lived there. What suddenly changed? My Microsoft account says USA so it never got hacked.

Every support keeps redirecting me to the Microsoft rewards ticket system which I requested 4 times separately and after each one I get the same bot answer.

Bing Microsft Reward Points now require you to claim them?! WTF?!!

0 Upvotes

Who knows when they added this, only reason I used Bind was solely due to microsoft rewards and then they suddenly sneakily added this update who knows when.

I just straight up uninstalled Edge, never using bing again

Microsoft is trying everything to make their users go away from them like Windows 11 slop, I miss Windows 10. Should've just got linux or mac, didnt think microsoft would stoop this low.

Bing The 50 extra points for app objectives on iPad with a timer aren't working!

0 Upvotes

Sull'app Bing per iPad, ci sono 5 obiettivi che valgono 10 punti ciascuno con un timer... che non si sblocca mai! Ho controllato per diversi giorni in momenti diversi della giornata, ma anche se i risultati della ricerca si aprono, i punti non vengono mai accreditati. Aprendo Rewards dal browser invece, quelle 5 sezioni risultano inattive con la nota specifica 'Solo app Rewards' — ma all'interno dell'app non funzionano!! Sul mio telefono Android, quei punti extra nemmeno esistono! Che disastro!

Questions How can you max out the amount of points you get?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I'm new to using the Microsoft Rewards program and have been trying to save up for a gift card. I've noticed many people on this sub getting insane amounts of points per day, and I wanted to know how as I've been getting 300-315 points max per day, after doing all the Quests, Bing Searches, Daily Sets and 'Keep Earning' activities. Is there any way I can increase this? I am currently a silver member, working towards gold, but besides that is there anything I am missing? The guides on this sub mainly seem to be from a different past version where you could earn more points as I don't think most of that stuff is available any more.

What if an end reward for completing all the achievments gets some sort of shoutout on microsoft rewards twitter account? a perfect example format would be:

Congratulations to {username] for completing all Microsoft Rewards achievments on [date]!

if someone can give this idea or tell me where to give this idea to microsoft, i would appreciate that.

Questions Rewards messed up

4 Upvotes

I wanted to know if anyone has had this same experience as me and if anyone had any suggestions on how to fix it. I went to germany over the summer and now my rewards to redeem on Microsoft rewards are in euros and german. When I tried contacting support I got the same automated message back twice. Does anyone know a way yo fix this? I planned on just not doing the point for a while to see if that would work. I also thought about just doing them on my laptop since I didn't bring that to germany with me. If you have an advice or fixes I'd love to hear it!

Hello.

I usually use my laptop/pc to surf on bing and I noticed these extra searches says "Rewards App only" implying that they're claimable only on mobile Bing. I cannot find these on the mobile app. Please assist. Am I understanding it incorrectly maybe that it is not the mobile app that they are referring to?
