Microsoft recently launched a tempting partner program for its Bing search engine. By installing the Bing toolbar (which appears to only be compatible with Windows rigs running Internet Explorer) and using it to search or taking part in daily promotions, you can earn Reward points. Notably, this form of fake currency can be easily exchanged for another: Microsoft Points.
The program allows you to trade in Reward points for Microsoft Points in 100-point denominations -- though it's unclear how quickly one can accumulate these points. We do know that installing the Bing toolbar earns you 250 points from the get-go, of which 200 can immediately be exchanged for $2.50 worth of Xbox bucks. So what's the catch? There doesn't appear to be one.

250 MS points are FREE JUST for signing up, to get more ms points, just bring up about 10 internet browsers using the bing search bar, and type in anything and let it search, do this a few times a day, and it will add up, i managed to get over 1600ms points less then a month

Ok so how long did it take you to receive the points via email? I did this yesterday so I'm assuming I'll probably have my points within 2-3 days right? Sorry for asking too many questions, just curious to know lol
