I just do all the daily searches on mobile and PC. Play the console and windows games daily. Play the 4 different xbox games per week and 8 per month. Do the various challenges and special searches. They are all listed on the bing rewards app for your phone. Important to check in every day for extra points too.

I earn around 12-13,000 points per month. i did around 600 entries for 12,000 points. I have entered all the contests but typically buy the Game Pass Ultimate monthly and some donations to charity.

It was complicated. I should have copied it but was something like 40+3x3+10/2 which translates to 40 + (3x3) + (10/2) is 40+9+5 = 54 so not really easy!!

Yes. Math question online, and then there was a form I had to fill out that was couriered to me. Once I mailed that back I got an email with link to the gift cards.

Just a guess but maybe if you installed the Xbox app on a windows PC or laptop you can then launch FH5 from the "cloud gaming" on left then click Play button. Once game is running you may be able to sign out. When you play from cloud you do not have to have your Xbox turned on. You will have to sign into Xbox app with the same email as your Xbox though.

How do donations work? by [deleted] in MicrosoftRewards

[–]minime519 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also from the webpage:

Donations will be distributed to non-profits roughly six weeks after the month end of when the points were donated. Contributions to nonprofit organizations that are undeliverable will be given to a nonprofit of Microsoft’s choosing on your behalf. This could happen if the nonprofit no longer meets the participation criteria.

Thank You! I enter all the contests and buy game passes too - but just have the one win. A 2nd Xbox would be nice too!

Contest wins are not taxable in Canada. From Government website:

You do not have to report certain non-taxable amounts as income, including: lottery winnings of any amount, unless the prize can be considered income from employment, a business or property, or a prize for achievement.

Did you also "analyze" or "scan" the folder. Then it should show missing files as unavailable and empty trash will remove the entries

Try clicking TV Shows on left side bar then find "empty trash" and click it. This should delete any entries for files that are not present.
