Ok I am a sucker for free stuff.
My son's friend turned me on to Bing rewards. Because the search engines get paid by their subscribers by how many searches they have instituted bing rewards. You get points for your searches and 475 points gives you a $5 gift certificate to places like Amazon, Applebees etc.
Here is the trick. You can have an account for each email address so I have one for me and hubby has one. Set up a folder in your favorites in internet explorer for the search then a subfolder for daily search. Open up bing and put something in the search window hit search and without clicking on any of the results save to the favorites daily search subfolder . When you have 10 or 12 saved you got it set up. Now every morning click on your name in the upper right corner of the bing home screen then click on rewards and the dash board shows up. Go to favorites and click on the little arrow next to the subfolder and it will open a tab for all 10 searches as soon as they load right click the tap and hit close this tab group. Repeat three times and you will get your daily 15 points. In less than a month you have $5 gift card code sent to your email when you redeem. Real easy.
I thought I would get more spam in my email but they don't give the sites your email address they just want to up the number of searches so they can charge the advertisers you see on the side when you search more money and they don't mind sharing the wealth.

When I hit $35 I am going to redeem at Amazon with free shipping that will be totally free.

Because all bing wants is people to use their search engine so they view the advs. that scroll on the right which makes their advertisers happy. I am not scamming anyone. It was two Microsoft people who turned me on to it.

"It was two Microsoft people who turned me on to it."

That's what makes this OK? Wow!

This doesn't make their advertisers happy, I can promise you.

So you don't watch programs on network Television stations. When you watch a program on Television you are getting a benefit in exchange for watching a commercial. When you get a reward for using a search engine you are getting a benefit for watching a commercial. It is the same. They wouldn't do it if the advertisers had a problem after all that is where they are getting their money. Also you are getting gift cards in $5 dollar increments which most people will use when buying a more expensive item thus it also gives business to those companies. As a marketing tool it is working the fact that a person can utilize it to their advantage is not scamming. I suppose you think clipping coupons is also a cheat.
Don't like it, don't do it. I just thought people might find it interesting.
