BING ON PC
-------------------
https://www.bing.com/
There’s a few things to do here: Gaming, Shopping, Workout Videos, Searches
Gaming: If you open a new tab in Edge browser, you should find that close to the search bar, slightly to the right of your Feed / Following / News / Sports / etc you should find an option for Gaming. If you select this and look slightly downwards when the page loads, you should find you have a ‘daily task’ to earn either 10 points, 30 points or 50 points. All you have to do is click on this to get the points
Shopping: Similar to where you found the option for Gaming, there should also be an option for Shopping nearby. If you select this and scroll downwards, you should find a section called Shopping Games where you guess which product has the lowest price and if you’re right you get points The best way it appears to be able to complete this without using a script or something similar is to highlight one of the items, click on See More and select to Visit Website in the pop-up. That website should show you the current price. There are even arrows to navigate through the pop-up displays so you don’t have to keep clicking See More on every item after the first. If this option doesn't work for you for whatever reason, this link to a spreadsheet where you can fill in and compare prices of the items may be helpful
Workout Videos: There are also workout videos you can watch, but these are limited to two videos per day. The current regional links known for the workout videos are
- US - https://reddit.com/r/MicrosoftRewards/comments/wn1and/msn_fitness_hyper_optimization_i_aint_got_time_to/

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. 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
You can find your order history here
