You can get Paid to Search!

[gogeta_god]

Just not on FusionCash, and I am NOT talking about other similar / competing sites.

Bing Rewards, now called Microsoft Rewards, is a GREAT way to earn just by searching with Bing instead of Google. I have used Bing for years and it is just as good if not better than Google.

Each search on Bing nets you 5 points when searching on your computer (up to 150 a day) and on your phone (up to 100 points per day). There are also specials within your account page for taking a poll, searching a featured topic/picture/whatever, completing short quizes and polls, and more. These range from 10 - 50 points, with occasional but rare big bonuses (when I first switched my phones default search engine, I got 500 points, they give instructions on how to do this). They also email bonus point offers sometimes.

The Rewards are offered in a moderatly big selection of gift card codes, including Amazon, Dominoes, Starbucks, AMC movie theatres, NFL online store, Hulu, and more. The best one, in my opinion, is Microsoft gift cards, as these cost less points to redeem (discount for their own brand).

Generally about 5,250 points gets you a $5 gift card. Offered mostly as $5 or $10 rewards.
For Microsoft, 4,650 points = $5 gift card. Offered from $1.25 (1600 points) to $100 (91,000 points) The bigger the amount, the better your points per dollar, or value.

Now all those stats are for 'level 2', the first level rewards cost more and you can't get as many search points per day. The only requirement for level 2 is that you have gotten 500 points in the previous month (you can get this in days if you search a lot).

I have gotten a lot of $5 Amazon codes, as well as Microsoft codes (which can be used in the Windows Store or even on an Xbox One).

No referral program - I am not gaining anything here. I just wanted to let everyone know of this 'Paid to Search' option since FC does not have one.

To join simply go to Bing.com and look at the top right corner. You got it from there

I love Bing rewards and have been using it for a while now, it is a good way to get Amazon cards.

I am a member of this. I like getting the higher rewards  when you keep the daily streak going. If you miss it just resets you back to zero and then you start again. I have used this on many giftcards

Thank you for sharing!  It is good news that I can earn points for searches.  I do plenty of "Google" searches, so just switching to searching using BING should be an easy transition.

That's really neat, thanks for bringing it to our attention.  I believe I've heard of Bing rewards but never took the time to look into it.  I guess I was too busy working my other sites.   

The nice thing about this for me is that I like Bing.  Yes, I like Google too but often times I am on a Bing search engine. Now I suppose I should start earning points for my 'work'. 

Thanks again.

  yes, i also search on bing, a lot of ways to earn there too. i  am still learning new things that have been started while i was gone. but if fusion cash doesnt have search, oh well, i can do other things on the site.

Thanks for sharing, I never use Bing although it pops up each time I turn on my laptop; I generally have just clicked out of it; had no idea I could earn from searching in it; will take a look at!

I been doing that with Bing for a while now. I get a 5.00 Amazon gift card about every 3 weeks. It is so simple to do each day and it does not take up a lot of time.

[dwggs]

thank you so much for this heads up.  I search all the time and it's nice to know that I can get rewarded for it.  I'm gonna go check it out now.

I've been doing BING rewards for over 5 years now... I've gotten almost all my Alexa's from using BING & getting Amazon rewards. Multiple people do it in my household.  I enjoy using BING & looking at current events daily.

Thanks for posting this so others who aren't aware, are now aware

You do realize that now Bing is tracking and recording every search you do. And since they are rewarding you, they are most certainly selling your data to third parties (which you agreed to when signed up by agreeing to their terms and conditions).

But if the rewards are worth it for you, keep it up.

You say this as if Google is not doing the exact same thing, and has been for years. Google probably has more personal info on the average Joe than anyone else. I think ALL search engines are like this.

I do not see the problem? When you want to do an online search, you can use company A, B, C, D, etc. All will gather info from you. Why not use the one that pays you via rewards points / gift cards?

WAH, you nearly had me fooled OP. I genuinely thought FC was bringing back that search toolbar. Oh well. In any event, I may actually take a gander at Bing Rewards. I absolutely hate Bing, but if I can rake in some extra money, it is worth a shot.

I usually do searches through Inbox Dollars, I guess I'll have to check out Bing.

[sdenimandlace1]

I will need to check it out and see.  I have never used their search engine at all.
