I am not able to complete the "use bing for 7 days" task for levelling upto gold even though i am using the edge browser. What am i doing wrong

Question

I am able to complete the "use edge browser as default search engine" task, but I am not able to finish the "use Bing for 7 days" task even though I use the edge browser, what am I supposed to do because it is very tiresome completing the same task for every month to end up not completing one task and not getting gold rank. Am I doing something wrong

Answer 1

It sounds like you might be facing issues with the Microsoft Rewards program related to using Bing. Here are a few things you can check to ensure you are completing the task correctly:

1. Ensure Bing is Set as Default: Make sure that Bing is set as your default search engine in Microsoft Edge. This can sometimes affect how your usage is tracked.
2. Use Bing for Searches: Ensure that you are actively using Bing for searches and not just visiting the homepage. The task typically requires you to perform searches rather than just browsing.
3. Check for Sync Issues: If you are signed in to your Microsoft account, ensure that there are no sync issues that might prevent your activity from being recorded. You can check your sync status in Edge settings.
4. Time Frame: Make sure that you are using Bing consistently over the 7-day period. If you miss a day or do not use it enough, it may not count towards the task.
5. Browser Version: Ensure that you are using the latest version of Microsoft Edge, as older versions may have bugs that affect functionality.

If you have checked all of these and are still having issues, consider reaching out to Microsoft support for further assistance with your Rewards account.
