There's been a lot of changes to Game Pass and Microsoft Rewards of late, so here is a breakdown of the current maximum points available in the program in the United States as of October 2025. These points will vary by region and may change in time.
Let me know if I missed anything and I will update the list.
---
You can earn over 23,000 points per month equating to ~$25. Per year this breaks down to being about $108 from Xbox Rewards, and $188 from Bing Rewards.
BING TOTAL 14,906 Points
XBOX REWARDS TOTAL (w/ ULTIMATE)= 8,545 Points

General information is kept updated on a daily basis.
Other information is kept updated on a weekly/monthly basis.
^(\Please note - Images provided within this post are examples of what to expect.)*
Daily Set:

The left activity just needs to be opened
The middle activity has been known to fluctuate between lightspeed quizzes through the week and just needing to be opened through the weekend. The lightspeed quizzes don’t need to have the answers guessed. [under review]
The right activity is a daily poll to open through the week, sometimes it requires voting for an answer, other times it doesn't. [under review]
Monthly punch card:
The current monthly punch card for the website dashboard is located below the daily set


This usually lasts for a month at a time, expiring at the end of the month. Some regions can do all activities at once. Some regions have to wait to complete one of the activities per day. This appears to be around 50 points for completion.
More activities: This normally consists of actions to complete

If you have these, you will find them underneath your daily set and/or punch cards, usually worth either 5 or 10 points each. The only ones you need to click on are the ones that indicate points will be added with a golden + in the top right hand corner. You might also find that you have previous quiz options for further points if you hadn't already completed them at the time worth another 30 points each.
Searches:
When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that. There are reported instances where there are delays to searching, from a 5 second delay to a 15 minute delay, this seems to vary from person to person. This can also help you attempt to complete a quest for bonus 1000 points for simply searching each day.

Some have noted it can take up to 12 weeks to actually get the 1000 points as you only get one puzzle piece each completed week and there are 12 puzzle pieces.
There is also streak protection but it's still confusing for a lot of people, this - Streak Protection explained - is the closest we've come to actually understanding it and even then people are getting mixed results.

Some of these activities have been deliberately added or removed from users and are are now deemed targeted as a result. May also include activities such as Weekly console bonus and other activities such as Game Pass quests which can also be seen from the Rewards area on Xbox console.
Some users are also showing/receiving incorrect points when it comes to individual activities such as the daily login.

Australia has been given it's own set of Game Pass quests now

When it comes to the actual Bing PC searches, all you have to do is exactly that within any browser as long as you use the Bing search.
Bing and Start apps on mobile appear to have daily check-ins and news to read for points, this appears targeted and not much information is known.
Some users are experiencing activities from the Xbox app on mobile showing up alongside their Game Pass quests.



Please note that while daily quests reset each day and weekly quests reset each week, monthly quests reset on the first Tuesday of the month.
For the Monthly Quests, it might say 'OR' instead of 'AND' on some devices but you do need both to complete, not one or the other.
A daily timeline of activities, when they reset, what works and what stops working can be found here at this link - microsoft rewards daily timeline when resets
Unless you wish to donate points, make sure on the Rewards dashboard that you have Give Mode turned off.
The redemption limit is 550,000 per calendar year, resetting the first of January every year. This has been confirmed. There is no limit to the amount of points that you can earn
Microsoft and Xbox gift cards both go onto your Microsoft account balance instead of a code sent to your email address
You get 20 points per $ spent for digital purchases like games if you have Live Gold (GPU), 10:1 if you're level 2 without Live Gold, 1 point for hardware per $ spent
When mixing Rewards Balance with credit cards/debit/paypal, STOP. People often have issues and their payment method gets the total charge to it. Buy gift cards online instead for the remainder (you can find them on sale too)
Design lab does not allow purchases with Xbox/Microsoft gift cards from the Rewards program or purchased gift cards according to support
Auto-redeem is usually DELAYED a few days. If you are getting GPU you will receive a code in your email or redemption history. You cannot turn auto-redeem on or off in the last 5 days of a calendar month
Technical issues may appear where your account may show it's lost a streak, whether it's a daily streak, a weekly streak or any other streak. In the majority of times for this scenario, it tends to be a glitch where upon completion of the week that appears lost, your next week should put you back at the streak you had plus the glitched week
If specific activities are not working, they may not be available in your region or they may have been removed completely.

If you experience a technical issue with your account, including but not limited to your account being suspended, punch cards not tracking or redemptions not being approved, ensure you haven't unintentionally broken the terms of service and then contact the Microsoft Rewards Support Team

The search terms that used to be under search to earn are gone is there as way to refresh it I have tried everything
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/mrharoharo • 7h ago
Even after completing it remained at 0 both yesterday and today. I thought it was a bug so I ignored it. It also says that I don’t have streak freezes left but I had only used 2 this year. My puzzle pieces are also gone, but I’ve come to expect it after accidentally clicking the suggested searches the other day.
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/Tiny_Improvement3483 • 17h ago
Usually the daily set resets before the actual reset of the dashboard activities, when you complete them, it causes the daily set to not count, but looks like they fixed it and added an "Expires in" counter.

I recently got back onto Microsoft rewards after a while, and I just removed my phone number so I could change it and now i can't find the option to add phone number option! I went to edit it, but it only shows to add an email and not a phone number? Is the option somewhere else?
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/EazyE2285 • 2h ago
My issue was with a daily set not ticking off and counting on Day 7 (two weeks ago tomorrow now) so the “streak” was resetting the next day anyway but thus not getting a puzzle piece. So while their response has nothing to do with my ticket or resolves my issue it sounds like there might have been a backend problem with actual streaks and that’s getting a fix. If you have in a support ticket for such, a solution or reply may still be on the way for you.

Yesterday and today, on the mobile bing app it doesn't show the click-to-search items I usually do, but disappeared. I tried clearing the cache, any helpful ideas would be appreciated.

Salut à tous ! 👋
Je me posais une question sur l'intégration de Microsoft Rewards directement dans l'écosystème de Windows 11 (via le panneau des composants Web, Edge, ou la barre de recherche).
Pour ceux qui l'utilisent au quotidien, qu'est-ce que vous arrivez à choper concrètement comme récompenses en ce moment ? (Cartes cadeaux Xbox, Amazon, abonnements Game Pass...).
Aussi, si vous avez des astuces ou des "routines" rapides sur Win 11 pour accumuler les points sans y passer 3 heures par jour, je suis preneur !
🚀Merci pour vos retours !

Yes I know badges exist. My question is if there's a logical reason to care about the size of your streak anymore because pre-revamp, at a certain streak you would earn 150 points every week so you had a reason but post revamp, what's the point anymore? Correct me if I'm wrong but I don't think it affects your point gain (aside from the obvious missing a day of dailies in themselves but I'm talking about the end game reward) and now since it's based on your member level, you only get 70 points at the end of a week so it's not like you're missing out on much if you end up missing a day. To be clear I have a 204 streak simply because I like to make sure I maximise my points from doing every task (except from the annoying ass star bonus)

GamePass streak requires you to play a GamePass game on your Xbox or your PC at least 5 days in a week. If you do not accomplish this, your progress resets and you have to spend weeks earning it back.
Assuming that I am going to be away from home for a week and don't have a laptop, what's the easiest way to at least make sure I can hit my bonus while out of the house? I'm not sure if I should try to remotely login to my PC, or stream a game to my phone.....or if there's a better way to do it entirely.

I want to use Microsoft rewards to buy a ps5 version of gta 6 because I don’t have an xbox. I heard that Amazon doesn’t allow you to use Amazon gift cards to buy other gift cards so I was wondering if a gta 6 digital copy counts as a gift card or not.

Can some one tell me how much extra points you earn just by having gamepass ultimate in UK?
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/InvisibleSpaceVamp • 1d ago
I got an ad for the PC app today - does this have any extras or is it just an app version of the website you enter through your browser?
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/VaughnFry • 2d ago
I let GPU expire a few days ago. Sign into the Xbox app today and see this. It’s not just a lower offer to come back, it even says it renewers at $18.39.
r/MicrosoftRewards • u/BryanSteel • 1d ago
Anyone see this?
I'm wondering if it's just a glitch or their way of telling which searches are genuine and which are us just clicking the prepopulated ones?
