My account had the Spotify offer, my brother has the 1,700 points for free and my sister has a free Xbox gift card offer.

My offer was for Robux... since I'm not a 9-year-old girl, I'll pass on this one.

I bet most people literally can't tell the difference between the results. It's all brand recognition.

Bing results are no where near as good as Google. Every time I try it I am disappointed and I can see why they only have like 2% market. I do hear their image search is not bad. "In terms of conventional search engine results and accuracy, Bing and other search engines have a long way to go before they can deliver Google-level performance. ".

I paid $1 for five months of GamePass back in 2018 because of a deal they were having, and because of Bing searches and GamePass quests, I have paid $0 since that first $1 almost 4 years ago.

Do you just redeem your points on the GPU for 14K? Is it hard to get 14K/month?

It's not easy to get 14K for 1 month but you do not need 14K.
One month GPU with level 2 status (basically if you use the rewards for at least few days a month you are level 2) costs 12k points. It's 35k for 3 months and you can earn points by completing GPU gaming quests for like 1600-1700 points.
If you do all GPU gaming quests monthly you need additional 10k. You literally have to max out every day with 50 searches on PC and 20 searches on mobile plus most of the daily extras (I always ignore the "news" one as it takes way too many clicks for a mere 10 points) to get 10k/month. Easy? No. Doable: Yes, Worth it: YMMV
1700 points is worth about $2.36 if used for GPU 3 month redemption. Less if used to redeem Amazon GCs. Good deal but not a huge amount...
I do not have this deal though. Have Fallout and Halloween quests instead.

This is pretty funny. No idea why Microsoft keeps trying to make Bing a thing.

Microsoft Rewards has been around for over 10 years now, guess you must enjoy that large rock you live under LMAO

Back to the deal, as others have said, definitely YMMV, some get this offer, some get Spotify, and some, like my friend, don't have anything at all!

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Seems like a bit too much work for me right now but too each their own.

Doesn't bother me. Was able to get a free Xbox Series X with these points.

I'm saving points to do this! Do you know how to easily find out when Microsoft Store gift cards for in sale for less points without having to check every day?
I have 180k points now and want to cash out a portion but cards on sale would be better.

They don't. Hot Deals haven't been a thing in a very long time now. Best you can do is cash out in larger denominations, ie. 91000 points for $100 MS gift card. And remember they expire in 90 days, so don't cash out until you're ready. You'll need 455K of points to cash out for $500 if you do the 91K/$100 MS Gift Cards, then you'd need to cash out more if you want to cover the tax, if applicable.

Yes. When did yours update to 1/5? I just did a search but it still says 0/5.

Wow that's a lot of points required to get an Xbox console... Using it on Game Pass may be a better value per point since it covers taxes too. I wish they would offer an option to redeem Xbox console directly without having to convert to an Xbox gift card. But that's unlikely since Game Pass costs M$ way less than a physical hardware. Based on my calculation redeeming it for GPU gives 20% more value per point than Xbox Gift cards...

How long does it normally take folks to get to the 10K points mark to redeem anything decent?

A new Black Friday feature is coming...A new Black Friday feature is coming...
