The BEAst in I Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 I use it on a somewhat regular basis. I am about to get my bing rewards account to turn gold soon. It helps make the xbla games and dlc cost more manageable. Been using it now so I can get the Kinect sports gems for nothing. Gonna get my 2nd gem here soon, whenever I get the next 125 credits.

McGoogles Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I've been using it for a few years now and have acquired approximately 4000 Microsoft Points from it. After I get the maximum amount of credits per day, however, I immediately switch back to Google. I personally find Google way more reliable than Bing.

DesirableDan Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 I only use bing once a day for the points. Google is still my primary search engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Inebriated Jedi Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I would strongly suggest you look into using bing rewards if you really want the best promotional deal MS has ever offered. In just two years, our household has gotton a total of $530 of MSP and Amazon gift cards. Lets just say I havn't paid for anything on the 360 marketplace in over 3 years. Holy crap. How many accounts do you have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby5512 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 I have been using bing for the ms points for a while. Find it worth my time to get free ms points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspeedomodel Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 It takes energy to make it worth it. Multiple accounts with different info so they don't ban you. With one account it just takes too long. Depends, I guess on how you value time. I'd rather pay $5 then waste weeks grinding searches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delow317 Posted April 3, 2013 Share Posted April 3, 2013 Holy crap. How many accounts do you have? Just 5. I created 5 seperate user accounts on my windows pc, then created 5 seperate email accounts for each of those user accounts. The thing that is so important here is that each email/bing account needs to be the same physical address where you live along with the same last name as the rest of your family. You could say for instance that you have your mom, dad, yourself and 3 other siblings for instance! So in essence, it says within the TOU and the FAQ that we can use 5 different bing rewards accounts per household. I'm sure if someone really wanted to they could do another 5 accounts and while setting up their emails they could just use a friend's address for an additional 5? I really don't know but I'm too afraid of getting kicked out of the program so I won't risk it! But yeah, just over $530 in two years doing all 5 accounts every single day for about 20 minutes of my time. If you have any questions or concerns let me know. Also I've been wanting to say this for a long time but I absolutely love your gamertag! If there was one Star Wars character I'd like to see inebriated it would be Yoda by far! Then again, he usually talks as if he is.. well sorta! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

francisrossi Posted April 4, 2013 Share Posted April 4, 2013 Bing Rewards? Hadn't heard of that until now. If anything my initial reaction was: "Bing? People use that?", but then I see MS are practically paying people to do so, which makes me laugh. I actually started using Bing over Google when I realised Google were censoring search results (you may have noticed there's no longer an option to turn safe searching off?). Didn't want to, but I object to that sort of nannying behaviour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LilFuniAZNBoi Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 I use Bing to get MS points and that's strictly it. I've been able to redeem about 3 times already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then again, he usually talks as if he is.. well sorta! It's not quite so simple. As we both know, you can make 5 accounts. But they track more than just email addresses and names to verify that you don't have more. They track: Internal IP, External IP and MAC Address. And, of course, they add cookies to your computer to track it just in case you try to cheat those systems. It's possible to get around those security measures, but it's not exactly easy and probably not worth the time as we're starting to get into CSI style stuff.

Xtowers Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I just redeemed points for one amazon gift card, and I got two codes emailed to me. I'm not sure how or why it happened, but I'm not complaining! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xtowers Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 Something like that happened to me once. I requested 400 MSP, and they ended up sending me 4 different codes. It was awesome. Strange. So I got my two codes, and they worked fine, but immediately after my account stopped earning credits. I tried to contact support, but they were not helping me very quickly, so I simply closed the account and started a new one. Also, for the next 7 days members with Gold level will be able to earn double the amount of credits. 4/24 - 4/30. ...The bad part is you have to do three searches to earn one credit.

shurija Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 I absolutely love Bing rewards. Gives me incentive to actually search some random topic or subject online. The rewards for doing so doesn't hurt at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last account here is gold but is still getting 15 a day One of my household's gold account also did not get this notification today, but I assumed that was because I had already done my daily searches on that account. From what you're telling me, it seems the notifications are getting sent out at different times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Direkin Posted April 24, 2013 Share Posted April 24, 2013 So, I looked into it as suggested, and as it turns out it's not even available in my region. Typical. Oh well, c'est la vie! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what you're telling me, it seems the notifications are getting sent out at different times. I don't know. Perhaps. I just checked and still have one account still getting 15. Only thing I know is last night I checked one of my accounts and noticed I could do my perches again. That was the account that's been getting 30 a day for a few weeks. Ended up with 60 points yesterday on that account due to it. I check my other accounts and 3 had the notification. Ended up with 45 points on each of those for yesterday. The account that didn't have the notification still let me do the 15 points again. On a side note I've noticed sometimes around 10 pm my ims the search number resets and I can do my searches again. Doesn't happen often, maybe once a week or so. Just something to keep in mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delta3519 Posted April 25, 2013 Share Posted April 25, 2013 I use bing exclusively now since using bing rewards for over 3 years now. The only time I use google is if I can't find what I'm looking for. I would strongly suggest you look into using bing rewards if you really want the best promotional deal MS has ever offered. In just two years, our household has gotton a total of $530 of MSP and Amazon gift cards. Lets just say I havn't paid for anything on the 360 marketplace in over 3 years. Definitley worth looking into man. If you have any questions let me know. That's crazy! I'll have to sign up then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOceanHasEyes Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I've had a Bing Rewards account for like 3 years, but just got back into it today after seeing this thread. I've only gotten 600 total MSP over that time, though. They have a 100 credit offer to do a Bing vs. Google challenge, and 50 for connecting to Facebook. You think if you make a new account and do those two things, you can get a 100 MSP code since they're 125 credits, and keep doing that over and over again? Or do you probably have to be like a silver member to be able to do those offers? I want to try but I keep getting an error when trying to make a new account.
