Microsoft's latest move to pay people to use Edge looks desperate — and an odd new Bing app is worrying too

  If you can get a friend to switch to Edge via a referral link, you’ll receive 500 Microsoft Rewards points (with the ability to accumulate up to 7,500 points per month if you’re feeling ambitious).

  A $1.25 Microsoft gift card is 1,625 points.

  So you have to refer four friends to get $1.25 off your next Microsoft purchase.

      A Microsoft Point is roughly equivalent to one Schrute Buck.

    Recent email: “get a 4k € reward”; reading beyond the teaser/bait, it’s a raffle you buy into with points, which I interpreted as you won’t win anyway, so it’s just throwing the points away.
