Just sitting at home and done each of these recently, wanting to remind everyone that they have two free ways to receive free Microsoft points from Microsoft.

- visiting rewards.xbox.com; signing in and taking a monthly 5 question survey worth 20 points. After every 100 points accumulated they are added to your XBL account. In addition to that your fist time using Netflix on XBL is worth 100 points as is your first XBL purchase after joining the program.

- Secondly, visiting http://www.bing.com/rewards/signup/web you can acquire up to 28 Bing points daily + 250 for joining. Bing points can be used for purchasing MANY items, but for the purpose of this post 500 Bing points are redeemable for 400 Microsoft points.

I know to many of you this is common knowledge but I wanted to just help make others aware. Especially after 300 points were just added to my XBL account and I'm nearing acquiring the 400 point gift card.

I did forget to mention that though I was unaware of restrictions due to location, a more recent addition is the previously the Bing Rewards program was only available via the Bing Bar in IE9 and Firefox on Windows 7 it is now able to run in Safari on OS X.

I've been a non stop Gold member since the launch of the xbox 360 and I never heard of that program! :blink:

I signed in and I have to wait 48 hours now, hope it will work as I'm from Belgium.

Yeah the program began in November of 2010 if memory serves me correctly. I, myself have been a member since XBL original launch on the first Xbox an wish points were retroactive as well but obviously that'd be quite a few free items for much of the community ha

Already got over 2000 Microsoft Points by using the Rewards program and the Bing search :) got to love it.

How long does it take for them to mail you the 400 points card? I remember reading it could take a while (6-8 weeks), or maybe have they changed it and just given you a code?

oh ok, well, i'm not getting into that whole Bing business, i don't even use Bing. Google and Yahoo are more than enough for me.

Same here, as tempted as I was I just was not going to change my established habits. Would have not felt right. :laugh:

I crossed 500 bing credits yesterday (Y) hello 400 points :p

For those complaining/wondering about changing habits - just change your browser default search engine to bing. You get 250 points when you start up and if you keep on using bing, credits add up fast. There are also "click here for 6 credits" links next to search results - click and back (repeat 3 times to get 18 at a time).

Good tip, I was unaware of this.

    • Sihoo Doro C300 Pro V2 Ergonomic Office Chair review: The Ikea of chairs

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Huh? I have an Aeron Remastered and the backrest cannot go up or down (only the lumbar is adjustable). Yes, the Doro C300 Pro V2's backrest can be locked, but the locking mechanism is so weak that when you recline and lean back the backrest moves with your body. I think the whole purpose of this chair is that all of the moving parts (except for the rocking, which can be locked in place) are supposed to move with your body, as you shift your weight, that's why I couldn't get used to it. Some people might like it though. Its redeeming factor is the price, I mean it costs like a quarter of what a new Herman MIller (Aeron) costs.

    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      I notice how you dodged the questions I had about the racism shown by ignorant, gullible, cowardly people when the Poles, like your partner, were the immigrants. Ahem. I wonder how you'd feel if native born Brits suddenly treated you as "dirty crooked immigrant" for being half Trump-American? If they ordered you to leave and "go back to your corrupt country" (on the other side of the Atlantic), would you go? The truth is based on facts as supported by evidence. As requested in your previous posts, I have used the facts in your own post to show everyone the truth.
    • Why it's almost impossible to produce a smartphone in the United States

      US citizens are paying to their government, who could use that to fund healthcare and tuition and relieve the costs of these for citizens instead of making tax breaks that overwhelmingly favor the rich. I'm not saying that tariffs are the correct solution, but what else would they be used for? What else could Trump have in mind for wanting them, if he hasn't figured out that labor costs are higher in the US?
