The Complete Guide to No Joke Get 100 Points Day in Microsoft Rewards

Let me be straight with you: earning 100 points a day in Microsoft Rewards isn’t some secret hack. It’s not magic. And it’s definitely not luck.

It’s just a system. A simple, repeatable system that takes about 5–7 minutes of your day.

I’ve been using Microsoft Rewards for years. I’ve watched the program change, seen the bugs come and go, and tested every trick that people swear by. And after all that, here’s what I know for sure:

You can absolutely grab 100 points every single day. No gambling. No clicking sketchy links. Just a few smart habits.

Let me show you exactly how.

Why 100 Points? And Why Bother?

Before we jump into the steps, let’s talk about what 100 points actually gets you.

• 100 points a day = 36,500 points a year
• That’s roughly a $30–40 gift card (Amazon, Xbox, Starbucks, etc.)
• Or about 3 months of Game Pass Ultimate if you save up

Not life-changing money. But for five minutes a day? It’s free coffee, free games, or free stuff from Amazon. Zero risk.

The key is consistency. You don’t need 500 points a day. You just need to show up.

The Simple Math: Where Those 100 Points Come From

Microsoft gives you points for using their products. Search with Bing. Use Edge. Click the little daily activities. That’s it.

Here’s the breakdown for most countries (US, UK, Canada, etc.):

See? The numbers line up. You don’t need to do everything. But you do need to do the right things in the right order.

1. Knock Out Your PC Searches (30 Points)

This is the easiest part. You get 3 points per search, up to 30 points. So 10 searches.

Don’t actually search for random words. That’s slow and boring.

Instead, type this into Bing on your computer:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10

Hit enter after each number. Bing treats each number as a separate search. Ten clicks. Done.

Or use trending news. Click through the news headlines one by one. That also works.

Why this works: Microsoft wants engagement. They don’t care if you search for numbers. The system counts it. I’ve done this daily for over two years with no issues.

Time spent: about 60 seconds.

2. Grab Your Mobile Searches (20 Points)

Same idea, but on your phone. Use the Bing app or your mobile browser. You get 20 points for 10 mobile searches.

Quickest method: Type a single letter into the search, hit enter, then backspace and type a different letter. Repeat.

Or search for “weather” then “news” then “sports” then “movies” – whatever. The point is speed.

Pro tip: If you have an iPhone, add Bing as your default search engine in Safari. Then any search you do normally counts toward your mobile points. You earn without thinking.

Time spent: 45 seconds.

3. Don’t Skip the Edge Bonus (12–20 Points)

This one trips people up. You need to search using Microsoft Edge browser. Not Chrome. Not Firefox. Edge.

The bonus varies by country. In the US, you get 12 points for using Edge for PC searches. Some regions get 20.

What actually works: Just do your 30 PC searches inside Edge instead of Chrome. That’s it. You don’t need to download anything special. Edge is free and actually pretty good now.

I keep Edge open on my second monitor just for Rewards. Takes zero extra time because I’m already doing the searches.

Time spent: 0 extra seconds (just use Edge for the searches you already do).

4. Complete the Daily Set (30–50 Points)

This is where most people lose points. The Daily Set lives on the Microsoft Rewards dashboard. Go to:

rewards.bing.com

Scroll down. You’ll see three activities:

• A quiz (often “This or That?” or a trivia quiz)
• A poll (click one answer)
• A “check out this article” link (click and wait 3 seconds)

Each activity gives roughly 10 points. So about 30 total.

The catch: The quiz takes a little brain power. But you don’t need to know the answers. Just click each option until you get the green checkmark. The system tells you when you’re right.

Don’t overthink this. Click fast. Move on.

Time spent: 2–3 minutes.

5. Clean Up “More Activities” (10–20 Points)

Below the Daily Set, you’ll see a list of “More activities.” These are extra point opportunities that change every day.

Usually there are 3–5 of them. Each gives 5–10 points. Most are super simple:

• “Search for ‘fast food’ on Bing” (just click the link)
• “Watch this 30-second video” (mute it and let it play)
• “Take this 2-question quiz” (click any answer)

Here’s what nobody tells you: You don’t need to do all of them. Just do enough to push you over 100 points total for the day.

If your Daily Set gave you 30 points and your searches gave you 62 (30 PC + 20 mobile + 12 Edge), you’re at 92. One or two “More activities” gets you past 100.

Time spent: 1 minute.

The Daily Routine (Printable Cheat Sheet)

Here’s my exact morning routine. Takes under 6 minutes.

1. Open Edge on PC. Go to Bing. Search numbers 1 through 10. (1 min)
2. Grab phone. Open Bing app. Search letters A through J. (45 sec)
3. Go to rewards.bing.com. Click through Daily Set quizzes. (2 min)
4. Scan “More activities.” Click the easiest 1–2 options. (1 min)
5. Done. Move on with your day.

Do this every morning while your coffee brews. It becomes automatic.

What About Streaks and Bonuses?

Microsoft gives you bonus points for keeping a daily streak.

• 5-day streak: 75 bonus points
• 10-day streak: 150 bonus points
• 15-day streak: 225 bonus points

These bonuses don’t count toward your 100 daily points. They’re extra. So a 100-point day plus a streak bonus means you’re earning even more.

The hard truth: You will break your streak eventually. Life happens. Vacations happen. Don’t stress. Just start a new streak when you get back. The points lost are minimal in the grand scheme.

Common Mistakes That Cost You Points

I’ve made all of these. Learn from my mistakes.

Using Chrome or Firefox for searches. 

You lose the Edge bonus. That’s 12–20 points every single day. Over a year, that’s 4,000+ points lost.

Forgetting mobile searches. 

People assume desktop searches are enough. They’re not. Mobile searches are 20 free points you’re leaving on the table.

Stopping after 90 points. 

Getting from 90 to 100 takes one “More activity” click. That’s 10 seconds. But people quit early because they think “close enough.” Close enough doesn’t buy gift cards.

Using bots or automation. 

Microsoft bans accounts for this. I’ve seen it happen. Don’t risk your entire point balance to save two minutes. It’s not worth it.

How Long Until You Can Redeem?

With 100 points per day, here’s the real timeline:

• $5 Amazon gift card (5,250 points) = 53 days
• $10 Xbox gift card (9,300 points) = 93 days
• 1 month Game Pass Ultimate (12,000 points) = 120 days

Add in streak bonuses and extra activities, and you’ll actually earn faster than this. Most people hit 100 points + 20–30 extra per day without trying.

Is This Worth Your Time?

Let’s do real math.

At 6 minutes per day, 100 points is worth roughly $0.10 (based on the Amazon gift card rate).

That’s about $1.00 per hour.

Objectively? That’s terrible pay.

So why do it? Because you’re not “working” these minutes. You’re doing searches you’d already do. You’re clicking quizzes while waiting for a meeting to start. The time would otherwise be wasted on social media or staring at a loading screen.

Microsoft Rewards turns dead time into free stuff. That’s the value.

If you’re a broke student, a parent on a tight budget, or someone who just likes free things, this is a no-brainer. If you’re a high-paid freelancer, your time is better spent elsewhere. Be honest with yourself.

A Few Ethical Notes

Microsoft Rewards is legit. They pay out. I’ve redeemed over $200 in gift cards personally.

But don’t game the system with bots, VPNs, or fake accounts. They detect this. Your account gets suspended. You lose all points. And honestly? It’s not worth the stress.

Also, don’t treat this as “income.” It’s a perk. A side bonus. A way to get a free coffee once a month. Keep your expectations grounded and you’ll never be disappointed.

FAQ

Can I earn more than 100 points in a day?

Yes, easily. The daily maximum is closer to 250–300 points if you do everything including Xbox rewards and shopping game quizzes. But 100 is the sweet spot for minimal effort.

Does this work outside the US?

Yes, but point values vary. The UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, and France have similar programs with slightly lower payouts. Check your local rewards dashboard for exact numbers.

What if my daily set is missing?

Sometimes activities don’t load. Refresh the page. Clear your browser cache. If it’s still missing, check back in an hour. Microsoft has occasional glitches, but they usually fix them by end of day.

Can I do this on a Mac or iPhone?

Yes. Edge works on Mac. Bing app works on iPhone. The only catch: the Edge bonus requires you to search using Edge. But you can use Edge on any device.

I hit 100 points but the counter shows less. Why?

Points sometimes take 5–10 minutes to update. Also, some activities have a delay before they register. Wait 15 minutes, refresh, and check again.

What’s the best thing to redeem points for?

Amazon gift cards (most flexible) or Game Pass Ultimate (best value per point). Avoid sweepstakes entries – terrible odds. Charity donations are fine if that’s your thing.

Final Thoughts

Look, 100 points a day isn’t going to make you rich. That’s not the point.

The point is building a tiny habit that turns into free stuff over time. No risk. No upfront cost. Just a few minutes of clicking while you drink your morning coffee.

I’ve redeemed for games, gift cards, and even donated points to a local animal shelter once. Felt pretty good for something that cost me almost nothing.

So here’s my question for you: What’s one small daily habit you already do (checking email, scrolling social media, waiting for code to compile) where you could squeeze in your Microsoft Rewards routine instead?

Drop your answer in the comments. I’m curious how you’ll fit this into your real life.
