The new Bing Rewards program rewards you one point for every two searches you do and you can redeem these points for a few things such as MS Points or a Month of Gold or even an Amazon Gift Card or Redbox rental. I signed up for it last week and just using normal searching I racked up 125 points which is enough for 100 MS Points. I think this is awesome as I'm going to be using a search engine daily and have been using Bing for awhile now. |
Oh you're just a @#$%^&^! :P That's a reference so you earn bonus points!
I'm already a Gold member, with over 4,000 Microsoft Points earned. I go for the 400 MP cards. I generally don't have to buy Microsoft Points anymore because Microsoft, between Xbox Rewards and Bing Rewards, gives them to me for free.
I generally use it to purchase DLC or XBLA games, though I've considered using it for other things. My problem is that I like buying stuff on XBL, so I gravitate to the MP cards.
It used to be better, because you used to be able to earn 20 points a day via searches, plus bonuses. The bonuses were insanely stupid, because Microsoft would give you a link to click on in order to obtain the bonus and often they were just searches on a given term or a link to one of their services. Pretty much the same as they are today, but now they're a bit hidden. Also, a long time ago, the bonuses and rewards were much more significant. The bonuses might be for 10 points or such, Usually there was one of those per day. They were extremely generous with the program. And the amount of rewards were much greater. You used to be able to redeem your Bing Reward Points for electronics, including consoles, and other stuff. I think the reason they don't is because most people probably redeemed them on Microsoft Points and gift cards, so that's pretty much all that is available now.
One thing you didn't mention is the fact that Microsoft Points are instant. Once you redeem your BRPs for a Microsoft Points gift card, you'll receive an e-mail with a code that you can then enter in and have instantly applied to your gamertag or Microsoft account.
