How to Get Lots of Bing Credits

Bing is a web search engine created by Microsoft. In previous years, Microsoft offered cashback for those who used the search engine regularly, however this offer was terminated in 2010 and replaced with a new one, known as "Bing Credits." Bing credits can be earned by doing a variety of things around the website, including searching, watching advertisements or clicking on links. Once enough credits are accumulated, users can redeem their points for a wide range of items, such as gift cards, electronics and toys.

Instructions

1. Download and install the "Bing Toolbar." This will automatically give you 250 credits.

2. Visit Bing.com and click on the credit number that appears next to your user-name. Any available offers will appear here. For example, Bing may ask users to view an online game, then award five credits if the offer is completed.

3. Use Bing instead of other search engines, such as Google, Yahoo, or Ask. For every five Bing searches you use, you will gain one credit. If you use Bing as your default search engine, these credits will add up quickly.

4. Explore Bing to uncover hidden credits. Credits can be hidden within the Bing toolbar, homepage or search results. Hidden credits will appear as a golden ribbon that can be clicked on to be redeemed.

5. Check your email for additional credit offers from Bing. Microsoft will e-mail Bing users from time to time to ask about their experience using the search engine. Those who are selected will be asked to complete a short survey and will be rewarded with credits for their time.
