Rewards will be sent to the e-mail address you confirmed when you placed your order. Provided the order is in accordance with the Terms of Use, your reward will usually be delivered within 24 hours unless it requires further review. If you have a question about your order, contact us.

Credit values and available rewards change often so check Redeem frequently to see what is new. You can choose from a wide range of rewards.

There may be a limited number of some rewards and those will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis. We also may substitute similar rewards.

A link to the terms and conditions for the sweepstakes, including how and when winners will be notified, can be found on the product description page for the sweepstakes items in Redeem. After we notify the winners directly, we generally announce them around a week later on our Bing community blog.

Once your donation is processed and determined to be in compliance with Bing Rewards Terms of Use, Microsoft will make at least a quarterly donation to the non-profit organization you have selected on your behalf. The amount of Microsoft's donation will be the total contributed by the entire community of people contributing to that organization, including yourself.

The program has three status levels. All new users start out with Member status. By completing the requirements for other levels, members can also progress to Silver or Gold status and reap the corresponding benefits.

Check on the Rewards credit counter or go to http://www.bing.com/rewards/levels

For the latest benefits and requirements for Silver and Gold status information please check the Status page http://www.bing.com/rewards/levels

Your available credits are the number of credits you can redeem for rewards. Your lifetime credits are the total number of credits that you've earned since joining the program.

Your account will be credited automatically upon completion of all the requirements for Silver status.

Once gained, silver status cannot be lost. However, please note that it's not transferable to a new account. If for some reason you need to close your account and later rejoin the program, you'll start out at Member level.

One of the requirements of Gold status is completing a minimum number of searches per month. (To find out what the current requirement is, please see the Status page). In the event you don't meet this minimum in the space of a calendar month, you will lose your Gold status at the end of that month and move back to Silver status. However, as soon as you meet that minimum number of searches during the month, you will regain your Gold status.
