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.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
