A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.
Try these checks in order:
- Verify redemption requirements
- Redeem points only in the same country/region as the Microsoft account.
- Do not use a VPN or proxy.
- Use a mobile phone number or landline for verification, not a VoIP number.
- If phone verification failed before
- Make sure the code entered matches the code sent.
- If there were too many failed verification attempts, wait 48 hours before trying again.
- One phone number can only be associated with a limited number of Microsoft Rewards accounts, with a maximum of 6 accounts per household.
- Try QR code verification instead of SMS
- Go to rewards.microsoft.com in a web browser.
- Choose the reward.
- When prompted, select Verify with the Bing app.
- Scan the QR code with the Bing app, enter the 6-digit code, and complete redemption.
- This option does not appear in the Bing app itself and does not appear for Auto-redeem rewards.
- If QR verification or the redeem page still fails
- Update the browser and operating system.
- Clear browser cache and cookies.
- Try a different browser, device, or network.
- Temporarily turn off VPNs, proxies, or third-party security software.
- Check whether the reward may be unavailable
- Some gift cards are not always available. If one reward does not work, check the Redeem page again later to see what is currently available.
- Check order status
- Open the Rewards page, select Redeem > Order history, and check the order Status.
- If a code was already issued, open Order Details to get the redemption code or use Resend for the confirmation email.
- If the order keeps failing
- Contact Microsoft Rewards Support using the support form.
