How To Play the Bing Homepage Quiz and Earn Microsoft Rewards

The Bing Homepage Quiz is kinda fun and interactive Microsoft throws it up daily so users can test their smarts and rack up some Microsoft Rewards points. Basically, do a little trivia, learn a few things, and then collect points that can be swapped for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, donations, whatever. It’s simple, but sometimes those quizzes can act weird.

Step 1: Open the Bing Homepage

Head over to bing.com in your usual browser whether it’s Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. I’ve found that if your browser isn’t updated, the quiz might not show up or might lag like crazy. If you’re using the Bing app on your phone, just make sure it’s the latest version, because older versions tend to glitch out more often.

Step 2: Sign in with Your Microsoft Account

Click the Sign In button at the top-right. If you don’t have a Microsoft account, probably should create one here. Being logged in is kinda necessary otherwise, your points won’t track and you won’t get the rewards. Sometimes, signing out and signing back in fixes weird stuff, so keep that in mind if it acts funky.

Step 3: Find the Quiz Icon

Look near the search bar for a little icon might be labeled as a “Q”, a question mark, or an image like a lightbulb. Hover over it or click around, and if it’s not there, refresh or maximize your window. On some setups, the icon might hide behind other elements, or your browser zoom is too high. This part kind of annoys me because I’ve had the icon mysteriously vanish on certain machines. Keeping the page fully loaded and your window maximized usually helps.

Step 4: Launch the Quiz

Click that icon to start. Typically, you’ll get 3 questions a day each multiple choice, covering current topics, trivia, or random facts. Answer thoughtfully; hints are sometimes sprinkled in, or you can quickly Bing-search if you’re unsure. On some days, the quiz loads super slow or crashes, so don’t get frustrated if that happens just refresh and try again.

Step 5: Answer the Questions

Pick what you think is right. You’ll get feedback immediately, and then it moves on. Rushing isn’t really worth it I’ve noticed that on some days, if you answer quickly, you miss out on some points. Usually, answering all three gets you around 10 points or so. Not a massive haul, but every little bit counts.

Step 6: Check Your Results

After finishing, your score pops up. Sometimes, it’s not instant it seems to cache or delay a bit. You might see up to 10 points per quiz, which adds up if you’re consistent. You can also share your results if you’re into that, or replay questions to learn more.

Step 7: Redeem Your Rewards

Head over to the Microsoft Rewards dashboard to see your points. Redeem for gift cards (Amazon, Xbox, whatever), enter sweepstakes, or donate. Sometimes the points take a little to show up or sync depends on server loads, obviously. Just keep an eye on your points so you don’t miss any good deals.

Bonus Tips to Maximize Rewards

Use Microsoft Edge – it tends to play nicer with the Rewards stuff, I’ve noticed.
Check the Rewards dashboard often for extra activities and bonus quizzes more opportunities, more points.
Do it daily, of course. Skipping days slows you down, and on some setups, rewards don’t pile up as quickly if you’re inconsistent.
Make sure your region is set to the United States in your account settings otherwise the quiz icons might not show or content gets weird.
If your internet acts up, try a little PowerShell trick: Test-NetConnection -ComputerName bing.com. Weird, but sometimes your connection to Bing needs a quick check, especially if quizzes are not loading or the rewards page is stuck.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

Quiz not loading: Refresh the page, clear your browser cache, or try a different browser. Clearing cache in Chrome/Edge is usually Ctrl + Shift + Delete and select cached images/files. Sometimes, browser extensions interfere too, so disable those if you suspect it.
Quiz icon missing: Switch browsers or change your region in settings. Because of course, Windows and browsers are never straightforward about regional stuff, and the icon might be region-specific.
You’re not earning points: Double-check you’re signed into the correct Microsoft account and that you completed the quiz properly. Sometimes, a sign-out/sign-in cycle kicks things into gear.
Browser problems: Update your browser or switch to Edge for best results it often works better with Bing features.
