Earning Microsoft Rewards points through Bing quizzes is one of the most effective ways to rack up rewards like gift cards and subscriptions. As of January 2026, Microsoft has updated the tier system, making daily consistency even more valuable for “Gold Tier” members.
Below is the comprehensive guide to today’s active quizzes and how to maximize your earnings.
Method 1: The Daily Set Quizzes
The “Daily Set” is your primary source of points. Completing these every day maintains your streak, which can lead to bonuses of up to 1,000 points.
The Homepage Quiz (10-30 pts): * Topic: Today’s quiz celebrates Andermatt, Switzerland and Burns Night.
Answers: * Elevation of Andermatt: 4,715 feet.
Mountain Passes: Gotthard, Furka, and Oberalp.
Robert Burns Tradition: Haggis.
This or That (50 pts): * This high-value quiz appears twice a week (typically Tuesdays and Thursdays).
Expert Tip: Unlike other quizzes, you must get these right to earn the points. If you see “This or That” on your dashboard today, always have a second tab open to verify the facts before clicking.
Daily Poll (10 pts): * Simply click your preference. There are no wrong answers here, but it is required to maintain your streak.
Method 2: The “More Activities” Deep Dive
Beyond the Daily Set, scroll down your Rewards Dashboard to find these hidden gems:
Weekly News Quiz (30 pts): Released every Friday/Saturday. Today’s quiz covers Elon Musk’s $134B lawsuit and the Toyota Tundra recall.
Greatest General Knowledge Quiz (50 pts): A recurring 10-question set.
Gap Insight: In 2026, Bing often repeats these questions monthly. Keep a notepad of your answers to speed through them next time!
Warpspeed Quiz: Usually 3 quick questions worth 10 points. Speed matters here; the faster you click, the sooner you finish your daily routine.
Expert: 2026 Tier Updates
Many users are frustrated because their point totals seem lower this year. Here is the guide you need to know to stay ahead:
The Tier Reset: Microsoft now uses Member, Silver, and Gold tiers. To reach Gold (and earn up to 60 points per search session), you need roughly 750 points per month.
Bing STAR Bonus: This is a new 2026 feature. By performing “authentic searches” (not just random letters), you can earn a monthly bonus of up to 2,100 points.
Search Cooldowns: If your quiz points aren’t tracking, it’s likely a sync delay. Windows 11 users are reporting a 15-minute cooldown if too many activities are completed in a single minute.
Troubleshooting Checklist
If you’ve completed a quiz but the points haven’t added up:
Log Out/In: On the Bing Mobile App, a quick re-login often forces a server sync.
Check “Give Mode”: Ensure your points aren’t being donated to a nonprofit. If “Give Mode” is active, your personal balance will stay at zero.
Browser Update: The Jan 2026 Edge update (v142.x) has a known bug with the “Showtime” quiz. Clear your cache (
Ctrl + Shift + Del) to fix it.
Redemption Spotlight
Amazon/Walmart: These were temporarily removed in late 2025 but are back for most Level 2/Gold users as of Jan 25, 2026.
Sweepstakes: Today is the final week to enter the $25,000 Tuition Giveaway (Ends Jan 31, 2026).
