    Colbert Days of searching and all I got was this lousy giftcard!

    So I use DuckDuckGo as my primary search engine, however Bing gives you points for searching with them which can be cashed out for gift cards. So I signed up for Bing Rewards, found a Bing search bot (eheheh ) and started doing daily visits a few months back. Since then I've made maybe $20 in Amazon gift cards.

    ...but hey, that's $20 in free Amazon gift cards for like no work!

    So how about you guys - are you willing to do dumb tedious things like this for little rewards or is this just me being a tightwad? (it's probably me being a tightwad)

    I like Bing's photo background but honestly the results I get are not as good as Google. Also everything else I do is synced with Google so it's more convenient. However if Bing is going to give me money I might have to reconsider (I need alternative sources of income.)

    Signature by rubah. I think.

    DuckDuckGo gave my computer a virus, so it's a DuckDuckNo for me.

    As FoA stated, The Google's search results are better than The Bing's. Plus, when you're image searching, you can search by image w/ them.

    Is Bing that desperate for people that they're throwing out giftcards?

    Duck Duck Go is great and probably didn't give anyone a virus :/

    It kinda doesn't have good a search as Google (nothing does) but it seems to be getting better.


    Lmao that Bing pays people to use it (it's awful)

    I dunnae if it was the site, but It could've been the add-on/toolbar or something. I know it happened after I tried it. All I know is I don't bother w/ it anymore. I won't go on it, so that's why I hadn't reported anything, Pike.

    I am more than happy to do stupid things for money. I am a little on the broke side.

    My future is fuelled by the fires of words, wit and companionship.

    I always forget that there are other search engines than google, google is good enough for me!

    Maybe I should start doing things online that give me free stuff, though. Maybe I will!
