A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.
Microsoft Rewards should not be redeemed while using a VPN. Rewards redemption must be done in the same region where the Microsoft account was signed up, and using a VPN or proxy can prevent redemption or cause orders to be cancelled.
Try this:
- Turn off the VPN and any proxy.
- Make sure redemption is being attempted in the same country/region as the Microsoft account.
- If phone verification appears, use a mobile phone or landline number, not a VoIP number.
- If using QR verification, try redeeming in a web browser and use the Verify with the Bing app option. The QR option does not appear inside the Bing app.
- If QR verification is failing, update the browser and operating system, clear browser cache and cookies, and try a different browser, device, or network.
- If the issue continues, contact Microsoft Rewards Support: Contact us
If Microsoft Rewards is not available in the current region, using a VPN is not a supported workaround.
