A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.
Tips and recommendations for earning points while searching (and avoiding being subjected to a punitive cooldown period);
1. Spread out your searches throughout the day and avoid conducting rapid, back-to-back searches.
2. Refrain from using tricks to gain points quickly, such as spamming letters or numbers into Bing, clicking through articles quickly or using bookmarks to open articles in a rapid manner with the intention of accumulating points in a short timeframe.
3. Do not use programs, bots, or macros to help with searching.
4. Regularly check if you've hit your daily cap.
5. Leverage additional ways of searching using Microsoft Edge; you can right-click and select "Search the web" with Bing set as your default search engine to incorporate more searches into your day.
Note: Even with the recommendations above, not every search will guarantee points. ***Know that the timeframe of being in a cooldown state will vary, but as you follow the recommendations above, you should limit being placed into one.***I hope that this creates more clarity and understanding of the cooldown period.
