Microsoft rewards, ways to get points

Just grabbed this from a recent post of mine, didn’t want to keep cluttering up the forzathon thread.

I’ve notice the daily sets vary. Usually they are worth 50 points, once they were worth 30, three other times they’ve been worth 70.

Currently, if you check your rewards page from an Android phone(not sure about iPhone), for the rest of June if you use the Microsoft launcher on your phone, you can get an additional 100 points per day for searches. This is in addition to the already available 100 points for searching using the bing app on your phone.

The launcher is a UI, and puts a search bar on your screen, like a google search bar. You also have to specify, on your phone, for the MS launcher to be the UI, when you do these searches. I installed it on an old phone, no sim card, and just use it on Wi-Fi.

If you do sets in consecutive days, the streak keeps going. First streak was 3 days. I got an extra 45 points at that point, currently in my second consecutive streak, the last one, and this current one are both 5 day streaks with a 75 point bonus at the end of each 5 days.

I’m on an 11 day streak, currently with ~5300 points, my goal is 29000 for one year of Xbox live.

If I see new ways to as points, I’ll post them here.

Since I’m new to this, thought I’d ask. I set a goal for the one year of Xbox live. Today it says I haven’t set a goal, when I go to the Xbox live rewards, it’s on a hot deal, and it appears my only option is one month, which of course it wants me to redeem o since I have more than enough.

Does the 12onth come and go?

Havent noticed with the gold but with the credits they change them around…always has the $5 but they remove the $10 and $25 every now and then
It should reappear at some time though

Hi don’t worry about what Microsoft points is showing you the 12 month Gold pass has all ways been available When you go to redeem just select the1 month Gold and you will see a drop box with different Gold options 1 month, 3 months and 12 months select the 12 months f that is 29,000 points Game Pass use to be the same but is now only a max of 3 months so I’m hopeing they bring the 12 months back for the Game Pass

Sweet! I got to it by your link, set the 24000 as my goal, should be able to get the necessary point by 7/15, when that deal expires.

I’ve done a 22 day streak on Microsoft rewards, that accumulated over 10k in points. Microsoft just deposited over 15k in points from the now defunked Xbox live rewards here in the US. That gave me enough points to redeem for a currently discounted 12 month Xbox gold membership.

After redeeming that free code, that added another 100 points rewards.

This is good stuff, saved me 60 bucks plus tax here in the US for a year’s worth of gold, just for a little bit of time each day. Now if I could get my youngest son to do this on a regular basis…

I got the boys their own one S, otherwise I’d never have use of my TV! Plus there’s something wrong with that kid, he thinks racing games are ‘lame’…

But you’re right, I could set his console as my home console.
