Bing Rewards: How to Join, Earn More Points, and Redeem

Bing was launched in 2009, and it used to be the most popular search engine. However, Larry Page and Sergey Brin launched Google and it left Bing Behind. So Microsoft has started giving rewards if users use Bing and some other Microsoft Services. In this article, we will talk about Bing Rewards.

If you don’t have enough points, you can earn some points and go back to that page and redeem the earned points.

Why my Bing Rewards Account is Suspended?

There could be various reasons for account suspension. It could happen because you tried using two Bing Rewards accounts when you are not allowed to use more than one. Another reason for suspension could be your age. You must be at least 13 years old to join. If you are using a VPN App or VPN Extension to change your virtual location, Bing can still suspend your account because people from outside of the US are not allowed to join.

Can I earn points by Referring Friends to Bing Rewards?

Bing had this promotion earlier, but they stopped it on June 8, 2016. Now you won’t be rewarded for referring friends.
