New Microsoft Rewards Bonus Will Reward Some Players With 1000+ Points Per-Month

It's always a good day when we get to report some positive Microsoft Rewards news!

Starting this month, MS Rewards has begun rolling out a new "PC Weekly Bonus" to users in certain regions, which allows them to earn up to 1000 points per-month for playing Xbox games on PC for at least five days a week.

This is essentially the same thing as the Weekly Console Bonus that was debuted at the start of the year.

Based on the comments we've been seeing, it looks like this new PC Weekly Bonus is only available in Germany and Mexico as things stand, but we're presuming it'll roll out to other regions in the near future.

It remains to be seen how generous it'll be in the likes of the UK though, where the Weekly Console Bonus recently reduced the number of points you could earn. In any case, you'll hopefully be getting some extra points from this soon!

Have you come across the PC Weekly Bonus for Microsoft Rewards yet? Let us know in the comments.

@trev666 Where are you based? In the UK still the 3-5 secs.
Not seeing the 1000pts for playing PC but seeing 1000pts for using Microsoft Defender (if you have Microsoft 365 Personal or Family subscription).

I'll sometimes go several weeks with just the 5sec wait, but then there will be a day, sometimes two, where I have the 15 min delay again. Today is one of those days. (USA)

@StylesT It can still be worth it for the rewards. It still pays for a month of Game Pass Ultimate and then some. I can generally knock all the searches out and get most of the available points by lunch or sooner just by chipping away at it.

All i want from them is to finally add xbox related stuff for all countries. Were i live the only gaming related rewards i can get with my points are about sea of thieves and overwatch and i dont play either...

It seems there's been quite a few changes since the last note on the app from July 3rd (US).

For starters, they put a 15-minute delay after using 3-4 searches on both PC and Mobile. Previously it was 5 seconds between searches.

They also linked the Bing check in to the puzzle board on PC, which previously took 12 weeks of 'do 3 Bing searches'. With two options now, it should take 6 weeks instead of 12 for the 1000 points it offers.

I also noticed an uptick in addition 10-15 bing activities, especially when just came to specific bing searches.

It's still not as good as it used to be, but it's still a lot better than what others offer. I'd be real happy if there pc weekly bonus showed up here too!
