M$ Points

I know a lot of you use the cards to purchase points but would recommend buying them from Amazon rather than in your local store. Just picked up 4,000 points for $46 with no tax charged and you can select the option to get the code digitally so no waiting for the card to arrive via shipment.

Every month or two, Buy.com will sell them on eBay for $39 with free shipping. That's how I've snagged my last three 4000 point cards.

I have been doing that lately, do you only get so many points per day?

Probably depends on how much private info they upload from your machine that day.

Yes I am intrigued on this Bing Rewards thing. I don't know how RayRay keeps up with all the points he is given since he is on so often.

So basically from using them for search and searching in areas they would like you to, you earn credits. 500 credits gets you 400 M$ points.

They have offers every day which boils down to clicking 2-3 links. Plus you get points for searches to a certain limit per day. It takes 500pts to get 400MS Points I believe which happens quickly.

So they are basically buying traffic away from google? Is Microsoft really that desperate?

That reminds of me of that iwon.com or something like that search engine that gave money away every day.

Hey they got my traffic away from Google. I mean I'm going to be searching a lot and being tracked anyway why not get paid for it. The offers they have daily are related to some theme and as soon as you click, you get the credit so it's not a hassle.

If you click the number of points you have at the top of the screen, it scrolls through all of the days offers. You get to 500 quickly.
