How I Get FREE Amazon and Other Gift Cards Just for Searching the Internet

If you are still using Google, Yahoo, or any other search engine that is not giving you rewards for your web searches, you are missing out. About 5 or so years ago, I started using Bing. Why? They give rewards points for every single web search you do through their search engine - www.Bing.com. The one catch is that you have to have an MSN/Hotmail account. You do not have to actively use the email, but the account allows them a place to send you the gift certificates and rewards.

The reason that Microsoft/Bing gives rewards is simple. Advertisers pay big dollars to get their products in front of everyone. The more people search, the more Microsoft gets paid. They are passing a very small portion of those profits back to those who use their search platform.

The following is a screenshot of what the rewards screen looks like.

This is so simple and easy, everyone can do it. If you want to accumulate points fast, you can have your account logged into on multiple devices (desktop/cell phone, tablet, etc). If you are married or have kids at home, have them logged in to the same account and use the Bing search engine as well.

As you can see, it's not just Amazon gift cards that are available for rewards. There are numerous popular restaurants and retail locations that provide rewards through the Microsoft/Bing rewards program.

This following screenshot is an overview of how points are awarded for search, including the levels you can obtain.

Rewards based search is the future of internet searches, in my opinion. Last week, I invested a small amount in a new Blockchain based startup called Bitclave. In the next year or so, they will give "Crypto Rewards" for people who use their new search engine. In the meantime, I will be continue using Bing to accumulate more gift cards.

There's no rewards incentive for getting other people to start using Bing. That said, if you know someone who might like to get free gift cards for their web searches, feel free to share this post. Happy Holidays!
