    You "earn" points by searching and doing daily stuff which you can redeem for gift cards/rewards.

    So they literally have to pay people to use bing?

    Yeah. It's been that way for at least a decade. My dad used to use bing for reward points and was scoring an Xbox controller every 3 months or so.

    No way ? that's a good ratio. I might just try automating Bing searches.

    Unfortunately a lot of people have thought the same thing, and I believe they've cut down on that. Wouldn't hurt taking a brief look into it, though. However, the rewards points aren't as valuable as they used to be, I'm pretty sure.
