icrosoft Rewards is basically

free money, and not enough

of you know how to use it.

We’re going to show you

how to use Microsoft Rewards to help buy all

the things you want—an Xbox Series X!

Starbucks! Amazon gift cards!—beginning

with the awesome Game Pass for PC

subscription.

Like the name says, Microsoft Rewards is

Microsoft’s incentive program for using its

consumer services. Using Bing earns you

points. Playing Xbox games can earn you

points. Playing PC games can earn you

points. You can “chase points” as much as

you’d like, and earn more and more. Or you

can chill, go about your daily activities as you

normally would, and still earn points. All of

these points can be traded in for stuff you’ll

actually want.
