Earn Bing Reward Points - A new discovery for me.
I learned few things new today by accidentally came across Google Vs. Bing search engine so I thought I share. Did you know that Bing is owned by Microsoft and that Microsoft is promoting Bing and Cortana by giving away reward points?
If you have a Microsoft account already established, there is a chance that you may have accidentally or purposely earned points to your accounts already. I have a Microsoft account for a while and I didn't even know this. I have the account when I bought microsoft operating system window 7 and also Microsoft Office.
I have been earning points without even realizing it (not much though, only a little here and there.) I earned points for doing things that I am already doing such as search on Bing instead of Google which I accidentally do when I open Microsoft Edge Browser, buy stuff from Microsoft Store Online (I don't usually do this one), or explore the Rewards page which I just did today when I found out about it. You can earn points by using Cortana to search on Bing. Very interesting...
It takes about 5,000 points to redeem something worth $5. You can redeem it through your Microsoft account. It's not much but fun to play. I do not get any incentives or rewards referring this. I thought it is fun to pass along since I am always looking for different ways to earn money. Yet another distraction from my writing... =)
Would you consider this blog as a spam? If yes, I will immediately delete it. I am wondering if my message is coming across as promoting Bing. My purpose is to only share my findings. Love to hear your thoughts...

I knew of this, but haven't paid much attention it. I suppose I should check on my points someday. Thanks for posting.
Who knows you may have $5 worth of points for something interesting... Hee heee... Have fun! Thanks for your comments.
I don't think we can do a comparison without naming the companies concerned.
I think you have imparted valuable information for us all.

You're welcome. I am also looking to see if Bing has adsense just like google as well. That would be good to add to our websites for monetization.
Here is my quick find so far for Bing and Yahoo -- media DOT net. I spelled out the name.
It is powered by Yahoo and Bing Network Contextual Ads Program. I am signing up for an affiliate program with them to see what happens. It'll take at least 2 days for approval.
Good job. Hope it works out for you. Please let me know as I would like to try it too. Thanks for responding.
My quick update for our last conversation about Bing. I said I will post it. It's been 2 months since I signed up the Bing & Yahoo Network. I made $1.66 yesterday... Wahoo! I posted a blog for it - I made my first $1.66 from Bing Yahoo network - Is this for real?
Thanks for the update. It's nice to know that it is working and you are seeing success. It may not be a lot but it's a good feeling. keep trying and all the best.
Thanks! It's actually more than google adsense. With Google I make pennies at a time so it's a step up. So far so good...

I did not know that you can earn points in Microsoft by using Bing. What I knew is that when you signed for the first to Bing Ads you can $100 free advertisement.
Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome! Yes, you can earn points and redeem them for prizes. I think it's fun. Thank you for your thoughts.
