In Response To: If anybody needs MS Points... (Sparkypinball) : If you are really hurting for MS points, and have some free time, here's a : tip: Microsoft's search engine Bing has this thing called rewards points : , you get credits for doing searches using the Bing Toolbar. : These credits can be redeemed for real world items (Free Shipping!), or : Digital Download codes. The cheapest item, and the one you probably are : focused on right now, is MS points (well there are lotteries you can enter : for 10 points, but those like any other lottery aren't guaranteed wins) : The Catch? You have to use IE and install the Bing Toolbar. (the other catch : is you need a Windows live ID, but I'm sure you already have one [it's : your Bungie.net/Live login] ) : But, if you can make yourself use IE for at least a few minutes a day, and : don't mind installing a toolbar, then you can get at least 16 points/day : (if you agree to set your homepage and default search engine to Bing; Say : yes, and change it back later, you wont be penalized you for doing so), or : 8 if you don't change your defaults. : You get 250 points automatically just for signing up. : Starting from your first day, and every 2 days from when you sign up, there : are 2 suggested searches, at 12 points each (a total of 24 instant : points), plus the 16 on everyday searches, for a grand total of 30 points : in one day. (half everything if you didn't accept Bing as your Search : Overlord) : 500 total Bing points will allow you to redeem a $5 400ms points code , and : you can get a maximum of 6000 MS points per account. (I don't know if the : "account" refers to your Bing Account or XBL account) : Now, 5 searches in the toolbar will get you 1 measly point. Argh. : But, there is a workaround for the lazy and determined: Autocomplete! : Type anything. Or just click the bar, and look at the Top Searches for the : day. Most every topic will have more possible searches, just click the : other options. You do not need to click anything on the search results : page, the program is only concerned with searches performed via the : toolbar plugin (so don't search via the Bing Homepage, you wont get : points). : Delete 1 word from your query, and a new list of possible searches will : appear. This will continue exponentially. If you reach a dead end, type a : new word/question/random letters, and resume. : I've already redeemed 800 MS points this way, it takes no more than 20 full : minutes to reach your max for the day. : Enjoy! : -Sparky this would require me to instal IE again. Might be a worthy sacrifice.
