Bing Rewards

In addition to picking up lose change I am always on the lookout for ways to make an extra buck with little effort. One of the ways I have found is by switching my online searches to take advantage of Bing Rewards.

Though the rules have changed a couple of times it's stayed pretty steady. Up to 30 points a day can be earned through searches with 1 bonus credit available each day.

There are several ways to redeem, Microsoft Points, Amazon gift cards, Skype credit, Groupon, Tango, Redbox, and various sweepstakes to enter.

Since joining a year ago I have earned 3200 Microsoft Points and a $5 Amazon gift card. That's roughly $45.

I spent almost 24 hours either in an airport or on an airplane. Apparently airports are a good place to find loose change. There was more to be had but sometimes I'm just not that bold.
