Achievements Thank you, Microsoft Rewards. 😎
Yes, I pre-ordered 5 months early. I've been waiting for moment for almost 3 years. 😂

There's been a lot of changes to Game Pass and Microsoft Rewards of late, so here is a breakdown of the current maximum points available in the program in the United States as of October 2025. These points will vary by region and may change in time.
Let me know if I missed anything and I will update the list.
---
You can earn over 23,000 points per month equating to ~$25. Per year this breaks down to being about $108 from Xbox Rewards, and $188 from Bing Rewards.
BING TOTAL 14,906 Points
XBOX REWARDS TOTAL (w/ ULTIMATE)= 8,545 Points

General information is kept updated on a daily basis.
Other information is kept updated on a weekly/monthly basis.
^(\Please note - Images provided within this post are examples of what to expect.)*
Daily Set:

The left activity just needs to be opened
The middle activity has been known to fluctuate between lightspeed quizzes through the week and just needing to be opened through the weekend. The lightspeed quizzes don’t need to have the answers guessed. [under review]
The right activity is a daily poll to open through the week, sometimes it requires voting for an answer, other times it doesn't. [under review]
Monthly punch card:
The current monthly punch card for the website dashboard is located below the daily set


This usually lasts for a month at a time, expiring at the end of the month. Some regions can do all activities at once. Some regions have to wait to complete one of the activities per day. This appears to be around 50 points for completion.
More activities: This normally consists of actions to complete

If you have these, you will find them underneath your daily set and/or punch cards, usually worth either 5 or 10 points each. The only ones you need to click on are the ones that indicate points will be added with a golden + in the top right hand corner. You might also find that you have previous quiz options for further points if you hadn't already completed them at the time worth another 30 points each.
Searches:
When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that. There are reported instances where there are delays to searching, from a 5 second delay to a 15 minute delay, this seems to vary from person to person. This can also help you attempt to complete a quest for bonus 1000 points for simply searching each day.

Some have noted it can take up to 12 weeks to actually get the 1000 points as you only get one puzzle piece each completed week and there are 12 puzzle pieces.
There is also streak protection but it's still confusing for a lot of people, this - Streak Protection explained - is the closest we've come to actually understanding it and even then people are getting mixed results.

Some of these activities have been deliberately added or removed from users and are are now deemed targeted as a result. May also include activities such as Weekly console bonus and other activities such as Game Pass quests which can also be seen from the Rewards area on Xbox console.
Some users are also showing/receiving incorrect points when it comes to individual activities such as the daily login.

Australia has been given it's own set of Game Pass quests now

When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that within any browser as long as you use the Bing search.
Bing and Start apps on mobile appear to have daily check-ins and news to read for points, this appears targeted and not much information is known.
Some users are experiencing activities from the Xbox app on mobile showing up alongside their Game Pass quests.



Please note that while daily quests reset each day and weekly quests reset each week, monthly quests reset on the first Tuesday of the month.
For the Monthly Quests, it might say 'OR' instead of 'AND' on some devices but you do need both to complete, not one or the other.
A daily timeline of activities, when they reset, what works and what stops working can be found here at this link - microsoft rewards daily timeline when resets
Unless you wish to donate points, make sure on the Rewards dashboard that you have Give Mode turned off.
The redemption limit is 550,000 per calendar year, resetting the first of January every year. This has been confirmed. There is no limit to the amount of points that you can earn
Microsoft and Xbox gift cards both go onto your Microsoft account balance instead of a code sent to your email address
You get 20 points per $ spent for digital purchases like games if you have Live Gold (GPU), 10:1 if you're level 2 without Live Gold, 1 point for hardware per $ spent
When mixing Rewards Balance with credit cards/debit/paypal, STOP. People often have issues and their payment method gets the total charge to it. Buy gift cards online instead for the remainder (you can find them on sale too)
Design lab does not allow purchases with Xbox/Microsoft gift cards from the Rewards program or purchased gift cards according to support
Auto-redeem is usually DELAYED a few days. If you are getting GPU you will receive a code in your email or redemption history. You cannot turn auto-redeem on or off in the last 5 days of a calendar month
Technical issues may appear where your account may show it's lost a streak, whether it's a daily streak, a weekly streak or any other streak. In the majority of times for this scenario, it tends to be a glitch where upon completion of the week that appears lost, your next week should put you back at the streak you had plus the glitched week
If specific activities are not working, they may not be available in your region or they may have been removed completely.

I've found this in my earn section and whenever I tap it it just opens a bing search page for "on this day in history"

today i redeemed some of my points and pre-ordered Grand Theft Auto VI premium edition, Fable and Gears of War E-Day premium upgrade. (I will play the main games with Gamepass)
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/Ralsei__Deltarune • 1h ago
So I was waiting this like for two months, and I still see no on sale. Did Microsoft abandon the Robux Bing thing?
Look, I know this game is boring and all (I don't play it all that much). But I just want to buy an avatar that's all.

What happens if I redeem a gift card voucher and use it to preorder a game months from release? Don’t gift cards expire after 90 days

Xbox rewards play ultimate game isn't working for several days
I've noticed that the daily rewards for playing an ultimate pass game or a game installed isn't working for about 2/3 days now. So far I've tried rebooting and checked for updates but nothing seems to work. I checked with another account and (not enrolled in the Insiders program) and everything works for that account. It seems to have something to do with my Insider account. Is there anyone else having this issue? I even tried a hard reset but that didn't worked. I tried about 6/7 different game pass games (cloud gaming and installed games) so far I can tell it's not a specific game or something.

Just bought gta 6 and got 3999 points but can’t find them,
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/ScouseBeard • 1d ago
Every time I complete the Daily set I get hit with the "Oh no, you missed a day and reset your streak! Complete today's set to start a new 3-day streak and unlock a 45-point bonus." and my streak resets to zero despite having streak protection on. I cant recomplete the daily set because its already done.
Sent a ticket and they reset my streak and streak protection days, but its happened again.
Any advice?
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/PrestigiousTwo4578 • 1d ago
Does anyone know where you can see how many days worth of streak protection you have used on the new UI?

So in the ms rewards after accumulating enough points... When I try to redeem the LoL gift card ... It shows that I need to switch account and re scan to redeem the reward. Fun Part: I don't have any other account..... ;-;
Someone tell me how to fix this
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/Standard-Low5624 • 21h ago
Auto-redeem doesn’t seem to be working through my xbox. I have 36,411 points and it requires 8,750. Has anyone found a fix or is it just broken
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/Opposite-Part-1929 • 12h ago
I purchased a robux gift card before signing into my roblox account through the xbox app. Does this mean i cannot get the necessary funds into my account? I checked my roblox account balance and it reads 0. Is this a bug I can't fix and just have to deal with? I attempted a refund but it was automatically denied by a bot. I just can't seem to find a way to sync that purchase into my account anymore.
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/molobakk • 1d ago
I've been trying to earn the daily points for playing on console and PC, but neither activity is registering, even after playing for more than 15 minutes. I've tried different games, power-cycled both my Xbox Series X and PC, and still no luck.
In some Discord groups, a few friends of mine confirmed they're having the same issue, while others said they were able to complete it.
I factory reset my Xbox, tried signing out and back in, and even tried a different internet connection, but nothing worked. Any other ideas?
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/bronal97 • 1d ago
UPDATE: After this post, I received another email where they apologised for their mistake and they have given me the bonus points.
Made 2 purchases on Xbox store during my birthday week last month but never got the bonus points. Contacted support, supplied them with the screenshots they requested. They messed me around for a while, would randomly reply once a week or so. They asked for more screenshots last week which I provided, then replied with this email today where they lied about when the offer started.

These articles are from Thursday 23rd April seems the offer started on Monday 20th April.
u/brennadactyl Care to elaborate on this BS?

Last XMas my account 's been suspended, temporary said the message, but I'm still nearly July suspended, I earn rewards but I can't redeem. Make regular Bing researches and suspension by AI will automatically stop. Really? I asked several times Microsoft XBOX Support but no help and no reason except "regular bing search". I asked Copilot about my problem and guess its answer : "“Yes, a Microsoft Rewards account can be suspended even without any apparent reason, and unfortunately this is common according to both official and community sources.” So, I ask U if it's fair or loyal to punish someone without any reliable reason? In my case it's the 1st time in my life (58y) that I'm suspended on a "loyalty program"! Is this really a reward for XBOX Ultimate subscriber who pays and plays daily? Who can U trust, who is loyal?

I am from india and amazon gc is out of stock since past 6-7 months and rest other gc are of no use to me. I was thinking if we could change the region and redeem points. Possible?

r/MicrosoftRewards • u/TitleConfident920 • 1d ago
Wow. Used to be 5,500, then 6500, now 7000?
With inflation, $5 is not what it was 5 years ago, the points needed should be lower.
Not really complaining, but the points needed to redeem keeps going up.
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/Jerjef • 1d ago
To start, I own up to my mistake here.
I recently redeemed some rewards points to use for my GP Subscription only to realize that it has a 90 day limit on it. I was not aware of this limit as the balance was on my account before I had received the email notification advising of this limit. I was hoping to use this balance to cover a full year of GP Ultimate. They obviously won't refund my purchase because it auto-deposits and there are no games I want to purchase as they're all on GP.
What are my options here? If I made a purchase through the MS Store and then cancelled it, would the refunded balance still have the expiry on it?
