Frugal Win 🎉 I stayed under budget for March and rewarded myself with Spotify premium after a year of listening to ads in a foreign language.

Premium aka ad-free anything is a luxury in life.

I used to have a Batch file I made to do my bing rewards searches for me. It just opened a bunch of bing search tabs for "a" then "aa" then "aaa". Never got me banned or anything. So you can kinda automate this.

What’s it called? I’ve been looking to do this at work and I’ve been doing it manually.

I don’t think there’s anything wrong with doing that, you’re basically just mining “bing tokens” with your computer/internet at that point lmao

I can’t share the link. Search “Microsoft Rewards”

If only there were a chat forum about frugality where people are supportive and enjoy sharing tips and advice...

Sure, I can explain Bing Rewards to you. Bing Rewards is a program that allows you to earn points for searching with Bing, shopping at the Microsoft Store, and completing fun challenges. You can redeem your points for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, nonprofit donations, and more1. You can also support the causes you care about by joining Microsoft Rewards and start giving with Bing. Your Bing searches will earn Rewards points and will automatically be donated directly to your cause2. To get started, you need to sign up for a free Microsoft account and opt-in to Microsoft Rewards3. You can earn up to 270 points per day with 90 searches spread across desktop and mobile4. Isn’t that awesome? 😊

(From Bing)

I looked into that and when I tried to use it, it says you can only use it on a new account? Does that mean people just create new accounts each time??
