means you’ll spend even less to “buy” what

you want with Rewards points as you earn

more throughout the month.

USING MICROSOFT

REWARDS FOR PC (AND

MOBILE)

There’s one prerequisite: Microsoft Rewards

requires a Microsoft account. You’ll probably

have to sign in to your account when you visit

the Microsoft Rewards introductory page (go.

pcworld.com/rdpg). Quickly click through to

the Microsoft Rewards Dashboard page (go.

pcworld.com/rdpg; the image at the top of

this story) to open the door to your free stuff. If

you’re signed up and logged in, Microsoft

Rewards points will automatically accumulate—

there’s nothing more you need to do.

There are two big ways to earn Microsoft

Rewards on the PC: searching via Bing, and

doing fun quizzes. Each day, Microsoft will

“pay” you up to 150 points for searching with

Bing on your PC, up to 5 points per search. If

you search with Bing on your smartphone,

you can receive 100 points more (5 points per

search). Using the solid Microsoft Edge

Just some of the things you can redeem for Microsoft Rewards points.
