Possible method to make 1000-point offer show up on new rewards dashboard
It seems the availability of 1000-point offer on new MS Rewards panel is affected by both browser cookies and some random factors. So you may be able to make it show up by clearing some cookies. This method works for me and a friend with a single try. But it doesn't work for another friend with repeated tries. So if it doesn't work for you, try this another day. Maybe MS is doing a staged rollout with this offer.

Steps:
- In Google Chrome, go to "Settings > Privacy and security > Cookies and other site data > See all site data and permissions".
In Microsoft Edge, go to "Settings > Cookies and site permissions > Manage and delete cookies and site data > See all cookies and site data". - Search for "msn", "bing", "microsoft" and delete their cookies and restart browser: https://i.postimg.cc/bJDB5T7r/MS-Edge-Cookie-Clearing.png. To fully restart browser, make sure it's not set to continue running in background when closed.
- Go to "www.bing.com", open the new rewards panel, and check if the 1000-point offer shows up. Don't use the MS Rewards button from extension or the one on new tab page as they still show the old panel.
Update #1: If clearing cookies doesn't work, try "Guest" profile in Chrome or "Browse as guest" in Edge. It sometimes shows this offer after logging into MS account (But not always. No idea why.): https://i.postimg.cc/sX5H4XF0/Chrome-Guest-Profile.png
Update #2: If not working on PC, try Edge/Chrome mobile on phone/tablet by switching to "View desktop site": https://i.postimg.cc/5t0vssXC/MS-Edge-Mobile-Bing.png
