Earning Microsoft Rewards points can be a goldmine for saving on Microsoft products, particularly Xbox gaming items. While it used to be possible to secure up to 20,000 points monthly, recent recalibrations mean that the average user can still obtain around 10,000 points monthly. These points, equivalent to nearly $10, can convert to about $120 worth of Xbox credit annually. Here's a breakdown of how you can maximize point accumulation through various tasks available if you live in a supported region.
### Daily Tasks
**Bing Searches**:
Upon reaching Level 2, engage in daily searches using Microsoft Bing. This can get you up to 90 points from PC searches, 60 from mobile, and an additional 12 points if using Microsoft Edge. This method alone can contribute almost half of your monthly points quota.
**Daily Set**:
Access the Microsoft Rewards dashboard daily either via browser or the Bing app on Xbox to complete sets that can garner at least 30 points daily, leading to over 1,000 points each month.
**Daily Achievement**:
Achieve a milestone in any Xbox or PC Game Pass game daily for bonus points. Previously 50 points each day, this was reduced to 5 points in November 2023.
**Daily Streaks**:
Use Microsoft Rewards in your PC browser to accumulate points for streaks, rewarding you 150 points weekly, with a 1,000-point bonus intermittently.
**Daily Check-In**:
Using the Bing app on mobile allows earning approximately 100 points per week by checking in daily.
**Read To Earn**:
Occasionally available, this task allows you to earn by reading news articles directly via the Bing app.
**MSN Shopping Quizzes**:
Earn points by completing daily shopping quizzes via the MSN Shopping website, potentially adding up to 3,000 monthly points. However, availability can vary.
**Xbox App Bonuses**:
Participate in Xbox Game Pass Quests through the Xbox App on mobile devices to earn daily points, typically around 40 per day.
**MSN Workouts and Mindfulness Sessions**:
Participating in MSN Health-sponsored sessions can yield about 50 points per completed session, limited to two per day.
### Weekly Tasks
Various weekly tasks are also available to supplement your points:
**Weekly Set**:
Complete three tasks via the Xbox console’s Microsoft Rewards app to continue piling up points, with chances to receive thousands of bonus points for maintaining streaks.
**Xbox Game Pass Quests (Weeklies)**:
Engage in Xbox-specific challenges weekly, aiming to earn around 150 points each month from these tasks.
**Weekly Console Bonus**:
Earn significantly by simply playing on Xbox for five consecutive days, especially beneficial for Xbox Game Game Pass Ultimate members.
### Monthly Tasks
Monthly strategies include:
**Monthly Bonus Round**:
Start each month by completing the Monthly Bonus Round on the Xbox Microsoft Rewards app to gain over 1,000 points when available.
**Monthly Punch Cards**:
Although reduced, you can still engage in monthly punch card activities accessible via the Xbox or a browser dashboard for extra points.
**Xbox Game Pass Quests (Monthlies)**:
These more intensive monthly challenges based around Xbox actions, like earning achievements, can help you top 1,500 additional points each month.
While the total points you can accumulate might be region-dependent and target specific, if your area supports Microsoft Rewards, leveraging these tasks can significantly cut down your gaming expenses over the year. Continuously engaging in these activities, even with recent scale-backs in points, can still yield significant annual benefits.
