Yes that's right! Microsoft actually pays you to use its search engine. As long as you have a valid Microsoft account, every search earns points. I'm just shy of a £5 Tesco gift voucher, almost entirely from Bing searches.
That's the good news! The bad news is that it has taken about 18 months, so it's not an overnight earner. Each search will earn you a few Microsoft Points and there's a limit per day to what you can make. There are odd jobs where you fill in surveys, give feedback, or click links. You can earn maybe 50-100 points a day, if they're all good days. The £5 voucher costs 7500 points. Ouch!
Is it worth switching to the engine completely to speed up? Nope! Bing is an inferior browser and you don't really get enough points to make it worthwhile. It's encouraging to see competition and actually alright for video searching (I'm a movie lover) but in terms of content it feels like a dinosaur, lacking a certain effectiveness to its search results and way behind the big G.
Maybe if you have some "skills" you could automate a few sneaky clicks every morning. That's for the extreme criminal masterminds of course. In any case, choosing Bing to search for points is a long haul for the diehard moneymakers rather than the part-timers, and only workable as an addition to seasoned online moneymakers as opposed to newbies. That's my two cents. Or Microsoft Points.
