Introducing a Streamlined Redemption Center and New Bing Rewards

 

We’re excited to announce the launch of a brand new Bing Rewards redemption center, including some hot new rewards, lower prices on some of our most popular items and an enhanced site design. The Bing Rewards team is committed to continually evolve the program experience with input from our members and today’s release delivers on a number of suggestions and requests that have been made.

To streamline the redemption process, all rewards are now delivered via email and the steps from sign in to checkout have been cut by more than half. Choosing your reward and redeeming your credits just got easier. Go ahead, kick the tires and let us know what you think!

Based on member requests, we’ve also added three great new brands—Redbox, Groupon and Tango Card—and we’re adding Boys and Girls Clubs of America as a charity you can donate your credits to. We’re still offering our most popular rewards and 100 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 and $5 Amazon Gift Cards* are both being cut in price.

Here’s the complete list of rewards members can now redeem their credits for. With our new redemption center these will all be sent via e-mail, usually in less than 24 hours! Members redeeming for these will now just get a single e-mail that completes the order.

Xbox LIVE 1 Month Gold Membership

$2.50 and $5 Amazon Gift Cards*

Hulu Plus 1 Month Subscriptions

Rewards members can also choose to redeem their credits for the following charities:

$1 to Teach for America

$1 to Boys and Girls Clubs of America

The addition of the Tango Card to our redemption center gives our members extra flexibility. Recipients can select from top brands like iTunes, Target, Home Depot, Starbucks and Nike, just to name a few. They can also donate any portion of their card to charities, or redeem any unused balance for cash. Plus, Tango Card offers free apps to manage gift cards from a mobile device. So users can check gift card balances in one place and use gift cards from their mobile devices in-store or online. The app can be downloaded at www.tangocard.com/mobile.

The new redemption center can be found at www.bing.com/rewards/redeem. We’d love to hear what you think about the site improvements and the new rewards. We continue to look for ways to improve the program. If there are any other new rewards you’d like us to include, let us know by adding a comment at the bottom of this post or go to our feedback site. If you’re not yet a Rewards member but want to start earning toward these great rewards, go to www.bing.com/rewards and follow the instructions to create a Bing Rewards account.
