    Hi QuestionZL,

    Yes, you can use Microsoft Rewards on a child account. However, you will need to give your child permission to use their points. You can do this in the Microsoft Family Safety app.

    To give your child permission to use their points, follow these steps:

    1. Open the Microsoft Family Safety app.
    2. Click on the Manage settings tab.
    3. Click on Rewards.
    4. Under Allow your child to use their points, click on the On switch.
    5. If you want to set a spending limit, you can do so by entering a value in the "Maximum points your child can spend per month" field.
    6. Click on Save.

    Once you have given your child permission to use their points, they will be able to redeem them for rewards.

    Additionally, you can

    -Manage your child’s spending in the Microsoft Store. You can do this by going to the [Microsoft family safety app] on your device and selecting your child’s account. Then you can toggle on or off the option “Allow spending in Microsoft Store”. You can also set a spending limit or require your approval for each purchase.

    -Monitor your child’s points balance and activity history. You can do this by going to the [Rewards dashboard] and signing in with your child’s account. You can see how many points they have earned, what activities they have completed, and what rewards they have redeemed.

    Here are some additional things to keep in mind:

    * Children under the age of 13 must have parental consent to participate in Microsoft Rewards. * Children under the age of 18 cannot redeem points for cash or gift cards. * Children under the age of 18 can redeem points for digital content, such as games, movies, and apps.

    I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Regards, Sola
