Microsoft Rewards is a program designed to earn you points while searching on Bing. We're excited to bring this program right into the browser with a handy click of your profile. If your account is linked to a Microsoft Rewards account, you will see your point balance on the on the profile fly-out when you click your profile picture. Have Give with Bing mode set up? You will find that you can easily navigate to the Give dashboard from the profile fly-out, as well!

In addition to Microsoft Rewards linked to your Edge profile, you'll see a new way to support the causes and nonprofits you care about directly from the browser. When you are logged into Edge with your Microsoft account, Edge will automatically recognize when you are on a website of a supported nonprofit organization and provide you options to support the organization with a donation. The next time you visit a nonprofit website a small 'tip jar' icon will appear on the right-side of your address bar letting you know that you are able to donate. Simply click the 'tip jar' icon to get started. You can donate by redeeming points earned through the Microsoft Rewards program or make a larger cash donation using your payment methods stored with Microsoft.

We encourage you to navigate through these new options if you have them available*, and leave us your thoughts by submitting feedback through the browser via the ... menu > Help and feedback > Send feedback.
