I'm imagining someone who would rather do "bing dailies" than pay like a dollar per week, and it is not a pretty picture.

Takes me less than 5 minutes whenever I remember to do them. MS rewards are pretty dope, and for little effort I've been able to get things other than game pass subs like xbox controllers previously and other stuff from Amazon with the gift cards I redeem using MS reward points. I recently got these speakers to use with my Series S (it's connected to a 144Hz monitor that has an audio jack): https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09F9GTKL8/ref=dp_iou_view_item?ie=UTF8&psc=1 They're pretty nice!

Also, here's a picture of me I guess, lmao:

Yup, bing rewards are like 5 minutes of clicking to make sure the app finished doing them, I've been using it for Amazon store credit.

Where are you finding Game Pass Ultimate for a dollar a week

With the Gold to Ultimate conversion trick (not even hunting for the cheapest possible Gold cards you could find) it comes to about as much.

You can download and play a 10 hour trial right now. It will hit Game Pass proper in 6 months.

It takes you 5 minutes to earn points worth what, 50 cents? Congrats, you're doing menial tasks for $6/hour so a corporation can have your mindshare. Pretty dope if you're a kid really trying to save some pocket money, not so much for an adult.

Why are you so concerned about how I spend roughly ~5 minutes or less of my free time every other day or so (probably during a commute if I cared enough to keep track) that gives me a perpetually free game pass ultimate sub and other free poo poo? Lol. The funny thing is a larger chunk of reward points actually comes from playing games/earning cheevos on my Xbox lol.

I'm not "so concerned", do what you like. I'm just pointing out it's less productive than a minimum wage job, for any readers who think "wow this sounds great, I'll get right on it" without stopping for a second to do the math. And like I said, I think it's a bit demeaning to give a corporation your mindshare for piddly rewards and talking about how "dope" that is.

I'd also argue most minimum wage jobs require a fair bit more effort than a couple clicks and/or a button push a day.

On one hand I get free game pass for literally no effort on my part but on the other hand MY MINDSHARE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED.

I never have to think about $16 getting deducted from my bank account and I too play a bunch of cool games thanks to my free game pass ultimate subscription. :smuggo: Looking forward to playing Lego Skywalker Saga :dance:

My meaningful bing searches like "meatloaf" and I just mash the randomly generated image search terms bing throws at me so I can get my reward points in record time. Exquisite data this corporation can use, most definitely.

I never bothered with the ms point thing until someone smartened me up here with the idea of just searching for 20 or so things, bookmarking them all in a folder then just load those tabs every day. Takes literally 2 seconds.

I earned 628 reward points just now, while I was in the bathroom. Time well spent.

You should spend more time earning rewards points and less time posting.

you can do all the daily rewards stuff in the time it takes to jettison a single healthy european poop. idk what the evacuation time is for a bloated US dump but I imagine you have even more time to load up a set of bookmarked tabs

The pirate code is really more of a guideline, than actual rules.

There's no free gold/gamepass here with MS Rewards, but I do fill out questionnaires for Google to earn some Play credit. Got a free Minecraft for Android or of it, as well as some in-game stuff.

Do I answer those surveys honestly? Hell no. as far as Google knows, I have 16 kids of varying ages, education etc and I am simultaneously a student, full-time worker and living alone, married and divorced.

Don't tell anyone, but I earn my rewards points WHILE working my not minimum wage work from home job, maximizing the amount of value

I will fully admit to actually answering the daily 50/50 polls though. I know a lot of people just click whatever the first answer is to get the points ASAP but I like to know where I stand on issues like whether fruitcake is palatable or not

Star Trek: The Motion Picture is a boring movie
Assuming I don't feel like clicking on ads or using Bing, are there any deals right now for Xbox Live Gold?


edit: And once I get my Gamepass up and running what are some Xbox/PC exclusive titles I should check out? I figure I'll check out the last few Halo single player campaigns.

I have game pass through aug 2025 but I still do the rewards. Got an elite V2 controller for 20 bucks and got a nice mouse for my PC through it. Now I'm not sure what I'm saving them up for, I could get a series s for like 100 dollars I guess.

All y'all clicking ads, need to find a copy of this extension as it was understandably delisted , and never worry about it again.

You can set up how many searches you want to do and it clears the surveys.

I read this one guy that said the most ethical way for Google to work would be to pay you to use it and Microsoft has implemented said system. I mean I get my clicks from just checking the daily news, something I would do anyway.
