How to Make Money with Microsoft Rewards: Complete Guide

2. Daily Tasks & Quizzes

Each day you can also earn points with very simple tasks. These will be simply clicking a link or a quiz. Just go to the Microsoft Rewards Dashboard each day.

In terms of the quizzes, for most it doesn’t matter if you answer right or wrong, you’ll still get the points. The exception is the bonus quizzes where you get 10 points for each correct answer – just open a new browser window and search the question before answering.

Example daily questions and quizzes:

3. Monthly Quests/Punch Cards

Another way to earn more money with Microsoft Rewards is the monthly quests/punch cards. These typically revolve around a theme or an event.

Punch cards/Quests will grant you a whopping 150 points

They will appear as a big banner on your Microsoft Rewards Dashboard:

Normally there are 5 tasks, which are in the same format as daily tasks. You’ll typically have to click 4 links and answer 1 quiz:

4. Streak Bonuses

If you’re diligent and login/complete tasks/searches each day you’ll start building up a streak. This means you’ve been active for x amount of days in a row. You get bonus points for maintaining your streak.

The number of bonus points you get increases as your streak number increases, but strangely, the time in between streak rewards increases in the same manner. To illustrate this let’s look at an example:

• 3 day streak = 45 points every 3 days (45/3 = 15 points a day)
• 8 day streak = 75 points every 5 days (75/5 = 15 points a day)
• 20 day streak = 105 points every 7 days (105/7 = 15 points a day)

So, as you can see, regardless of your streak level, you’ll get the equivalent of 15 points a day. However, if you miss a day and you’ll go back to 0 points of day until you get back up to the initial 3-day streak.

Just make sure you complete tasks every day to get your free Microsoft Rewards points!

5. Free Points via Email

From time to time Microsoft Rewards will send you emails with a way to earn/claim free points. These aren’t very frequent but keep your eyes peeled on your inbox to earn free points.

6. QUADRUPLE Your Monthly Earnings with Family Linking

One of the incredible features of, and way to make a lot more money with Microsoft Rewards is Family Linking.

So far we’ve just looked at how you earn points individually but with Family linking, you can double, treble or quadruple your monthly earnings. Let’s take a look at how this works. First, head to your Microsoft Rewards Dashboard and click the Community menu item:

Once in this area, you will only see yourself, how many points you’ve earned etc. But if you look at the bottom you will see that you can add family members. Write in the email to invite them, or if they don’t have one yet, get them to create an account!

Send All Family Member Point Earning to Primary Account

Once all family members are set up, get them to follow this guide or follow the guide on their behalf with their accounts. Now, you can transfer their earned points to your primary account and redeem gift cards:

Again from the Community tab on the Microsoft Rewards Dashboard, choose to “Give Points” (from a family member’s account) or “Ask For Points” (from your primary account):

As you can see, by taking advantage of family linking, you can effectively quadruple your monthly Microsoft Rewards earnings!

7. Earn More MS Rewards Points with Xbox

• Xbox Game Pass Quests
