When will the Amazon Gift card be available again?

Question

When will the Amazon Gift card be available again?

Sierra Dane 55

I too have discovered that the Amazon Gift card option is "currently unavailable" and the answer that was given to another person on this subject isn't acceptable.

For one thing, I've never experienced the "Often temporarily out of stock" issue. I've been doing the Microsoft/Bing points for an Amazon Gift card for as long as it's been available and I've never have had an experience of it "being unavailable."

I feel that the real reason is that Bing is slowly phasing this option, Amazon Gift Card, out completely. The points offered for each search has also been lowered over time. Sometimes a person only gets a couple points per search.

I'd think that if an Amazon Gift was unavailable because of high demand, it would be the same for other platforms that offer this as a gift for points earned and all those other platforms, at the time of writing this, are available.

reply from a mod:

The Amazon Gift Card has not been permanently removed from Microsoft Rewards; rather, it is often temporarily out of stock due to high demand. Microsoft releases a limited number of gift cards each day or week, and once that allocation is redeemed by users, the reward either disappears or shows as unavailable. This is particularly common with high-value and popular rewards like Amazon gift cards. Additionally, availability can vary by region, account eligibility, or recent redemption activity. If you've redeemed one recently, there might be a short cooldown period before you're eligible to redeem another.

To improve your chances of seeing and claiming the Amazon Gift Card reward, it's recommended to check the Rewards page early in the day, typically between 7 AM and 10 AM, as that's when the catalog may refresh. It can also be helpful to try clearing your browser cache or checking from a different browser or device. While Microsoft doesn’t currently offer notifications for specific reward restocks, checking daily while logged in is the best way to catch it when it's available.

Changing your region or language settings may show different availability, but this should only be done if you're actually located in that region, as violating location policies can lead to account issues. Lastly, avoid using third-party tools or extensions that claim to track availability automatically, as these may breach Microsoft’s terms and could risk your Rewards account.

If you've been checking regularly for several weeks and still can't find the gift card, it's a good idea to contact Bing support directly to verify availability for your region and account here:

I mean if they suddenly are making Amazon gift cards “limited” maybe it’s time to drop Microsoft Bing search and move to other more reliable search engines…you know they will bring them back once their stock drops from people leaving

I completely agree with Sierra Dane's comment above. As of October 2025, I have been unable to redeem my points for an Amazon gift card, which is the only reason I participate in the Microsoft daily quizzes. The response from a moderator is unacceptable and feels untrue. Consequently, I have decided to stop participating altogether. The opportunity to earn the Amazon gift card is gone!

I'm frustrated with all of this because in September, we were encouraged to save our points for the October sale on reward cards. I've been saving for the Amazon card which has been redeemed numerous times before. When I checked on the status of the point value redemption at the beginning of October, the message was that it was out of stock. I don't understand that notion AT ALL! Today, October 11, 2025 at 1:09 PM eastern time, the amazon card isn't even offered and there's a message that states it's not available in this region. This is SO frustrating!! I haven't changed my region and the card has been redeemed so many times in THIS region. What constitutes the region anyway??? GRRR.

In addition, the puzzle pieces that were available using the mobile phone to collect extra points by daily check in have disappeared...just like that! Gone!

Writing to Microsoft customer support has been a joke about the puzzle piece issue. I've submitted the complaint and requested that the puzzle be reinstated for my account. The reply has been a boiler plate response that states the issue is closed and if I want to submit another request, I can follow a link. GRRRR. Three times the inquiry and request have been submitted without resolution.

I have the same situation as @NinaMacKellar-3827 above. I saved up for the October sale, and the Amazon gift card disappeared. Not out of stock, as some have seen, but completely gone from the list of redemption options. All that are showing are a bunch of Microsoft things that I don't want, and a few stores and fast food places that I don't use. Same history of successful redemption for that card. When I reported this to Microsoft Rewards Support (multiple times), they basically accused me of cheating. I follow the rules and don't use any automation, or multiple accounts, or any of that nonsense. I am an IT support person at work, and no other part of Microsoft is this hard to deal with, or this unreliable. The program is just going downhill, it used to be a positive thing for Microsoft, but now it is a detriment.

Ive never gotten an Amazon gift card, I get enough through mypoints and swagbucks. I only turn in my points for Kroger gift card, which is so helpful for us. But no luck for 2 months now. Ive never had so many points saved up, I always cash in when I reach 13000 for a $10 kroger card, Im up to 26000 pts and still restricted...ugh!! Might have to stop too, if they wont let me cash in.

Has anyone noticed they have been trying to have us share to get more people involved using bing/edge? Why would I share the link?? When it’s so difficult to get gift card this used to be so simple every month. And now it every 2 months. Or more and now actually will go even longer because GIFT CARD FOR AMAZON IS OUT OF STOCK? Seriously? If you search to quickly you get punished. If you search everything before work you’re punished with a cool down that went on for so long. Crazy how it’s changed in 14 years. I’m with the other comments, I believe it’s time to say good by.

Here in 2026. First time I’ve experienced the “out of stock”

It has been over a week. Saying they restock daily or weekly seems like a lie, as I’ve been checking back for at least a week with no restock.

Same here. An electronic delivery being "out of stock" seems silly, Microsoft. Just say you've hit the limit for how much you're willing to pay Amazon for gift cards this month...

I am surprised that no one has mentioned that not only are Amazon cards unavailable but so are cards for Target and Walmart as well!!! All I received after providing feedback was they would restock cards 'soon". I asked for the exact time frame since "soon" is so vague as to be worthless. Never received a response!!! I refuse to believe cards are unavailable!!! So Microsoft raised number of points needed to redeem and then the cards are unavailable!!

No more bing for me until I'm able to get my Amazon cards. They have been 'out of stock' for three weeks now. Somebody needs to get up off their ass and fix this. Totally unacceptable! Obviously, since the Amazon cards are so popular, they should be readily available to everyone requesting them. Poor management at its best.

UPDATE guys it’s available right now October 4th (Amazon gift card) I didn’t want to be selfish so I went through my whole emails to find this thread I hope you are all also able to redeem 100% agree with Susan the fact that you wasted our time just to get people to use your browser over Google or safari when it’s not very good in the first place is misleading and unfair I didn’t want to press a bunch of useless buttons everyday but I did just like everyone else here we deserve the reward we chose you can’t lie to people just to get us to use our app then say “gift card out of stock” bro it’s literally digital? How do you run out a digital card it’s not even “stock” really is it

Not available for me. My guess is it is available on a case-by-case basis based on how often you've redeemed the reward. Just like they limit how often you can search if you do it every day for the maximum points until your searches become more 'regular'. I cashed in for the $20 custom card about a month ago. My guess is I won't have access to it for a bit longer.

I tried to order the Sephora gift cards it allowed 1 card and the rest stated they were declined but I did contact customer services, and they said that each area is only allotted a certain number of cards each month, so I tried again today still no luck.

There's an $10 Gift-Card for Amazon, if you wanna Google search it & you'll be good to go!

For "Microsoft Rewards Amazon Gift Card" & there's $10 on the link?

I've been waiting to cash out my points for 3 weeks now and they ARE still out of stock. y'all could literally get somebody to buy Amazon gift cards via an automated process and refill it easily with the search revenue I provide, but no, mods are lazy so that makes excuses. Get. Your. $h!t. Together. Microsoft. Or. I. Switch. To. Google.

I had been trying to turn my points in since the beginning of September for a gift that my sister had talked about for her Birthday and I just tried again and received the following so hopefully it will go through later today or tomorrow as this is what I was sent.

The order cannot be completed

This order cannot be completed at this time. Please try again later. If you're unable to complete this order after 24 hours, contact customer support.

I'm glad to see someone acknowledging this! The SAME problem is happening to me and first, I emailed Microsoft Rewards in hopes of getting the ETA on when they would release the Amazon and Walmart gift cards. However, they said they didn't know and suggested using the "provide feedback" section. I've been providing feedback for the last week, and STILL NOTHING! It's coming to the point where I'm considering resorting back to my initial search engine, Google.

Baby it’s available now as of October 4 (Australian time) but I hope you’re able to cash yours I cashed the $10 I think both are redeemable

Answer 4

I am so tired of this issue! I have been with this program for 10 years, and "running out" of Amazon gift cards was never a problem until the last several months. Conveniently, Amazon is the only one I can still get for 5,250 points. All the rest are 6,500 points! So at least 4 extra days for the same amount. Only offering Amazon at that rate (and then being constantly "out of stock" is a new one also!
