Why, when I scan the verification code on my iPad, does it redirect me to the verification code entry field instead of prompting me to download Bing, even though I'm using Bing to scan the code?

Bing | Microsoft Rewards
Bing | Microsoft Rewards

A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.

That behavior usually means the QR flow is opening the Bing verification page in the browser instead of completing the in-app verification flow.

For Microsoft Rewards redemption, the supported flow is:

  1. Start redemption on the Rewards website.
  2. Select Verify with the Bing app.
  3. Scan the QR code to open the Bing app.
  4. Sign in to the Bing app with the same Microsoft account used for Microsoft Rewards.
  5. Enter the 6-character code shown on the Rewards redeem page.

If scanning the QR code only redirects to the code entry page, check these items:

  1. Confirm the same Microsoft account is signed in everywhere
    The Bing app must be signed in with the same account as the Microsoft Rewards account being used for redemption.
  2. Update the Bing app
    Install the latest Bing app version, then restart the iPad and try again.
  3. Try a different browser or device
    If the QR code keeps opening a browser page on the iPad, try redeeming from another browser, a PC, or another mobile device.
  4. Clear browser cache/cookies
    Then sign in again and retry the redemption.
  5. Avoid VPN or proxy connections
    Rewards redemption can fail or behave unexpectedly when a VPN or proxy is in use.
  6. Try a different network
    Switch between Wi‑Fi and mobile data if available.

If the iPad still opens only the verification entry page after those steps, use another updated mobile device for the Verify with the Bing app option, or contact Microsoft Rewards Support.
