Microsoft Rewards wants to know if you want to make a ton of money doing virtually nothing. Yes? Well, look no further.

Microsoft Rewards is a loyalty program that rewards users with points when they interact with Microsoft products and services. If you abandon Google for Bingabandon Chrome for Microsoft Edgeplay games on Xbox Game Passor purchase apps and services on the Microsoft Store — you will earn points. As you accumulate points, you can then convert them into various rewards. I often use my points to buy Diablo 4 battle passes and Overwatch 2 coins, for example. But there are also coupons for a variety of stores, including Microsoft’s, essentially letting you pay for Xbox Game Pass for free for you or a friend.
