I'm likely late to the party on this but does everyone else know about using Bing to earn points and free things like a year of Xbox live?

I had forgotten about it and was just reading a post on reddit about a guy that has just earned his second year of Xbox Live from using Bing for a few minutes every day. You answer some quizzes and do some searching both on your PC and phone and you earn points. He said it took him three months to earn the points for a year of Xbox Live.
I just went and did it and it's quick and easy and worth it for a free year of Xbox Live.

FWIW, I found the time investment relative to the rewards fairly horrible. - David Aug 27, 09:38 2
- Plus you have to use Bing -- nm - iSpam Aug 27, 09:42 1
  - which is a non-starter for the fine folk of Pawnee, Indiana -- nm - prayformojo Aug 27, 09:56
I've used Bing for years. -- nm - Tim Aug 27, 09:23
Yeah if you do searches or do quizzes with bing or buy something from the microsoft or xbox store you get points - eag Aug 27, 08:35 9

  - I should point out that the quizzes are actually fun. Make sure you use the Edge Browser, it's actually not horrible. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 08:41 7
    - Can I use it on Windows 7 or is it only on Windows 10? -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 08:43 6
      - Win10. You shouldn't be on 7 anymore. -- nm - Qale Aug 27, 09:02 5
        
        Ahh. I'm happy with 7, no problems for me. Nothing in 10 made me want to switch to it. -- nm - Krusty Aug 27, 09:19 3
        
        it's tons faster, if nothing else. -- nm - Reagen Aug 27, 10:39 1
        
        Easier on resources. 10 can run decently on pretty old equipment -- nm - zork Aug 27, 11:00
        
        well you have till 2020 cause they will stop support then. -- nm - Remlik Aug 27, 10:16
        
        You can still get Win 10 for free if you say that you need it for accessibility reasons -- nm - zork Aug 27, 09:18
