Microsoft Rewards Guide: Turning Daily Searches Into Free Stuff
Published on HivePostify by @ryosai · Fri Jun 05 2026
How I Turn My Internet Addiction Into Free Stuff With Microsoft Rewards =======================================================================
Look, I'm already terminally online.
You're already terminally online.
We're on HIVE.
Let's not pretend we're touching grass voluntarily.
If Microsoft wants to throw gift cards at me because I searched "why are my chickens screaming at a worm" instead of using Google, I'm not going to argue.
The Goblin Philosophy ---------------------
The average person spends hours online every day and gets absolutely nothing for it.
The average HIVE user spends hours online every day and at least occasionally gets a few cents for shitposting.
We're built different.
Microsoft Rewards is basically another faucet.
Not a huge faucet.
Not life-changing.
More like one of those drippy faucets your landlord refuses to fix.
But leave it running long enough and eventually you've got enough points for a free pizza, video game, or bag of chicken feed.
My Strategy -----------
I don't grind Microsoft Rewards.
I don't worship Microsoft Rewards.
I don't spend an hour a day answering quizzes about what year Nebraska became a state.
I have absolutely no idea.
I do not care.
Instead:
Bing becomes default search engine.
Edge becomes default browser.
I do the daily clicky-click dopamine activities.
I collect points.
I continue being a degenerate internet creature.
Total effort:
About 3 minutes.
The Best Redemption -------------------
Forget sweepstakes.
Forget donations.
Forget most of the weird stuff.
Xbox Auto Redeem
$10 Xbox Gift Card = 8,750 points.
This is the holy land.
The promised land.
The degenerate's paradise.
Because every month Microsoft basically hands you store credit for doing things you were already doing.
Amazon Gift Cards
$5 = 6,500 points.
Need:
Pet supplies?
Random gadgets?
Gardening stuff?
Something stupid at 2AM?
Amazon has you covered.
Walmart Gift Cards
$5 = 7,000 points.
