You can earn Bing Rewards by searching the Internet with Bing and testing out new Bing features. To get started with Bing Rewards, you need to create a Microsoft account. Once you have an account, you can start earning rewards right away. Earning Bing Rewards Credits. To earn Bing Rewards credits, you need to be signed in to your Microsoft account. You can also create an account for Bing Rewards using your Facebook login details. Bing Rewards can be earned whenever you search the Web using Bing, the Bing toolbar, by testing out new Bing features or services or by redeeming offers found on the dashboard page of Bing Rewards Central. To earn credits you must be logged in to your account. If you search the Web using Bing without signing in, your searches will not count towards credits. You can ensure you're logged in by looking for the Bing Credit Counter located at the top-right of the screen. Redeeming Offers. Microsoft may limit the amount of credits you can earn per day by searching the Web using Bing. To earn additional credits, you can redeem credit offers found on the dashboard page of your Rewards account. Offers may include signing up for a product or service or entering a contest or promotion. You can also find offers from third parties. Visit your account dashboard on a daily basis to view the offers that are available for you; they can be updated at any time. Referring Friends and Family. Referring friends to join Bing Rewards can be another way to earn credits quickly. You can refer friends by having them sign up using a link that is specific to your Bing Rewards account. Once your friends have signed up, your account will be credited within 10 days. Share your referral link with your Twitter and Facebook social network to increase the chances of obtaining a referral. If you don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, you can send the referral link to your friends and family via email. To see if your account is eligible for referral credits, visit your Bing Rewards account dashboard. Bing Tours and Redeeming Credits. If you've redeemed all your available offers and reached the limit for Web search credits, you can earn additional credits by completing a Bing tour. Bing tours can be found under the "Tours" tab while logged in to your Bing Rewards account. Tours show you useful Bing features and reward you with credits once you've completed them. After you accumulate enough credits, you can cash them in for rewards by visiting the "Redeem" page in your Bing Rewards account. The amount of credits required for each reward varies depending on the product or service. You can view your progress towards each reward on the "Redeem" page. How to Use Bing Rewards to Earn Free Stuff. Have you ever wished that surfing the Web all day would net you some free stuff? If you take advantage of Microsoft's Bing Rewards program, it actually can. Bing's Rewards program has been around for several years, allowing users to earn points towards gift cards, Xbox Live subscriptions, and even Surface RTs for schools by simply using the search engine frequently. So if the Bing Challenge commercials haven't won you over, perhaps free stuff will. Here's how to make the most out of Bing Rewards service. 1. Visit Bing.com. 2. Create a Bing Rewards account by clicking Sign In at the top right of the Bing homepage and select Join Rewards Now from the drop-down menu. You can sign up for the service by linking a Facebook or Microsoft account . 3. Earn credits by browsing the Web with Bing, referring friends and completing offers. You get one credit per every two Bing searches you perform, with a daily limit of 15 credits. You can get additional credits by getting friends to sign up for Bing Rewards and entering drawings such as the daily Bing Homepage Photo Contest. The Complete Guide To Bing Rewards. We all like getting free stuff in exchange for doing almost nothing, let’s admit it. So if there’s a method where you can save money or even earn it just by doing what you usually do, it’s well worth a try. One way to make this happen is just by making a few changes on how we use the Internet, like using a search engine like Bing when we search for things online. Making money online has never been easier. Ok, you’re not going to get rich from just this, but every little helps. Bing Rewards program—now called Microsoft Rewards—is a free program offered by Bing that offers incentives for using their search engine service. You can accumulate reward points by searching online using a desktop, your mobile device, or even your Xbox. You can earn Bing Reward points if you use Microsoft Edge and other tasks such as taking surveys, completing quizzes, checking emails and many others. In this post, we will take a deeper look on how you can make the most out of Bing Rewards or Microsoft Rewards. Bing Rewards—An Overview. Bing Rewards was launched in 2010 to attract people to use the Bing search engine. In this program, members can earn reward points or credits when they search online using Bing, and perform other tasks such as answering quizzes and surveys. As long as your Bing Rewards account is signed in on any device you use to go online, you can earn credits. In August 2016, Microsoft Rewards replaced Bing Rewards. A new points system was put in place as part of the change wherein users could earn points just by browsing using Microsoft Edge. Credits can also be earned by buying items from the Windows store, or by taking daily quests or quizzes. The points can be accumulated and can be redeemed as Microsoft Store gift cards, Amazon gift cards, or even Starbucks gift cards. Why does this matter, anyway? As of July 2016, Microsoft Edge only held 5.09 % of the global browser market share, while Google Chrome monopolized the 50% of the pie. With the Microsoft Rewards program, Microsoft hopes to lift their numbers. This is also the reason why they locked down Cortana to only use Bing for searches and can seem like the stick holding the carrot, which is Microsoft Rewards. What Changed with Microsoft Rewards. In the past, Bing Rewards offer credits for every 2 searches in Bing you perform each day, roughly 30 searches on your desktop and 20 on your mobile. If you do the math, the rewards can add up quickly—if you accrue 475 credits you will get a $5 Amazon.com discount coupon, or a $5 Starbucks gift card. The same thing is applicable under the new Microsoft Rewards program, only with a few changes. Under the new program, Bing Rewards will be called Microsoft Points. Your old Bing Rewards credits will be swapped for 10 Microsoft Points. So if you had 10 Bing credits, you will now have 100 Microsoft points. On top of the other Bing Rewards features and benefits, you can also earn points when you shop at physical Microsoft stores, as well as when you buy movies, music and apps at the Windows 10 store. Credits can also be earned every time you browse with Microsoft Edge. There is also a tier system in place, enabling users to earn more discounts when they reach a certain amount of points. Top Tips on How to Quickly Rack Up Microsoft Rewards Points. There are a few tips and tricks you can do to help you earn more Microsoft Rewards faster. Bing Searches —you can earn points every time you search for something online on Bing, but you can double the points on some weekends. Microsoft recommends that you start your Bing searches with the keyword “US News”, but another great way to earn credits when you search is to click on the TRENDING searches you see on the home page. When you clock on the Bing.com search box, a list of the most popular searches will open up, and will from then on update you on what’s popular in your country. You can earn more points if you click on Bing’s “Related Searches” section. You will see this section rightmost side of the screen after you run your main search. When you click on the related searches, it will expand to show what you previously searched for, and in the process, accrue additional credits to your Microsoft Rewards account. Bonus quests , quizzes and other offers—aside from Bing searches, another excellent way to earn Microsoft Rewards points is to use Microsoft Edge to perform several fun tasks under Bing’s daily quests and quizzes. The Edge bonus can rack you up a nice 30 points each, with varying themes according to the season and trends. These quizzes and quests can be fun, too. For example, there are quizzes on all things Star Trek and sometimes even about your favorite TV series. You can keep yourself updated of these quests by visiting the Microsoft Rewards Dashboard where all the current offers and listed and some tips are shown on how you can rack up more points.

  • In the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania
    Case 2:10-cv-04828-GP Document 43 Filed 01/25/12 Page 1 of 30 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF PENNSYLVANIA KINBOOK, LLC, : : CIVIL ACTION Plaintiff, : : v. : : MICROSOFT CORPORATION, : : NO. 10-4828 Defendant. : M E M O R A N D U M GENE E.K. PRATTER, J. JANUARY 24, 2012 I. INTRODUCTION Kinbook, LLC (“Kinbook”), a small online social networking software company, filed this action against the Microsoft Corporation (“Microsoft”) for unfair competition and reverse trademark infringement under the Lanham Act of 1946, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a). Kinbook blames Microsoft’s release of “Kinect” (a controller-free motion sensor for its XBOX 360 video gaming console) and “KIN” (a mobile smart telephone) for the largely unsuccessful start of its “Kinbox” Facebook application. Specifically, Kinbook claims that Microsoft’s use of the word “Kin” in conjunction with Microsoft’s XBOX 360 logo (i.e., “Kinect for XBOX”) is confusingly similar to Kinbook’s registered trademark “Kinbox.” Because of Microsoft’s superior marketing power and ability to saturate the market, Kinbook alleges Microsoft usurped its business identity and the value of its trademarks. As a result, Microsoft detrimentally affected the fortunes of Kinbook’s business. 1 Case 2:10-cv-04828-GP Document 43 Filed 01/25/12 Page 2 of 30 Microsoft filed the instant motion for summary judgment (Doc. No. 28), asserting that there is no likelihood of confusion between the marks of Kinbook and Microsoft. For the reasons set forth below, the Court grants Microsoft’s motion for summary judgment.
