Automating Bing Quizzes: Browser Extensions, Python Scripts, and Safe Methods (2026)

Automating Bing quizzes means using a browser extension, Python script, or Tampermonkey user script to complete Microsoft Rewards daily activities automatically.

The most accessible method in 2026 is the Points Harvest Chrome extension, which handles search farming and activity navigation while surfacing quizzes for manual completion. Full quiz automation is possible via Python and Selenium but carries a higher account ban risk.

Why People use Automating Bing Quizzes

Most Microsoft Rewards users know the math. A Level 2 account in the United States earns approximately 9,000 to 10,000 points per month when every daily activity is completed. That translates to roughly $9 to $10 in gift card value each month from activities that cost nothing except time.

The problem is consistency. Completing every Bing quiz, poll, and search activity manually requires 10 to 15 minutes every single day without missing. Automation converts that daily requirement into a background process that runs while you do something else.

The trade-off is real. The Microsoft Rewards Terms of Service, documented in the Microsoft Services Agreement, explicitly prohibit queries entered by bots, macros, or any other automated means. Microsoft monitors earning patterns and can restrict or permanently ban accounts that trigger its fraud detection system.

Monthly Earnings by Method

Method	Daily Time	Monthly Points (Level 2 US)	Monthly Value
Manual: all quizzes and searches	10 to 15 min	9,000 to 10,000 pts	$9 to $10
Semi-automated: searches only	2 to 3 min	5,000 to 6,000 pts	$5 to $6
Full automation: all activities	0 min	9,000 to 10,000 pts	$9 to $10
Quizzes only, no automation	5 to 7 min	1,500 to 2,000 pts	$1.50 to $2

Which Bing Quiz Types Can Be Automated?

This is the question that every automation guide skips. Bing Rewards includes nine distinct quiz and activity formats, and each one behaves differently when an automation tool encounters it. Some support full hands-free automation. Others require a human answer to earn any points at all.

Understanding the difference before running any tool saves you from earning zero points on the activities that matter most.

Bing Quiz Types and Automation Compatibility

Quiz Type	Points	Automation Compatibility	Notes
Homepage Quiz (multiple choice)	10 to 30 pts	Full automation possible	Most common format; standard click pattern
This or That	50 pts	Requires correct answer	Tools click first option; wrong answer earns zero
Warpspeed Quiz	10 pts	Full automation possible	Fast-click 3 questions; timing matters
News Quiz	30 pts	Semi-automated only	Requires reading; tools surface for manual play
Turbocharge Quiz	10 pts	Full automation possible	Standard 3-question format
Greatest General Knowledge Quiz	50 pts	Semi-automated only	10 questions; varies weekly
Entertainment News Quiz	10 pts	Full automation possible	Standard click pattern
Polls	10 pts	Full automation possible	One click; no right or wrong answer
Explore Daily (article click)	10 pts	Full automation possible	Single page visit; tools handle automatically

Tools like Points Harvest automate all activity navigation but surface quiz cards for the user to answer. Full Python and Selenium scripts can click through most quizzes automatically, but the This or That quiz requires correct answers to earn its 50 points.

Important: The This or That quiz awards zero points for a wrong answer. Automation tools that click randomly through This or That do not earn points on this quiz type. Answer This or That manually, or ensure your script sources correct answers before clicking.

Method 1: Points Harvest Chrome Extension (No-Code, Easiest Setup)

Points Harvest is the most widely used no-code tool for automating Bing Rewards in 2026. It installs as an unpacked extension in Chrome Developer Mode. Each run automates four phases in sequence: Explore on Bing activity cards, Daily Set tiles, More Activities tiles, and PC search farming up to the daily cap.

Quizzes and polls surface for manual completion while the extension handles everything else. Points Harvest operates entirely through your existing signed-in Chrome session at rewards.bing.com. It never stores or requests your Microsoft Account credentials.

How to Install Points Harvest

1. Go to pointsharvest.com and download the latest PointsHarvest zip file (current version 2.3.0).
2. Extract the zip file to a folder on your PC.
3. Open Chrome and go to chrome://extensions in the address bar.
4. Enable Developer Mode by toggling the switch in the top right corner of the page.
5. Click Load Unpacked and select the extracted Points Harvest folder.
6. The Points Harvest extension icon will appear in your Chrome toolbar.
7. Open rewards.bing.com and sign into your Microsoft Account.
8. Click the Points Harvest icon in the toolbar.
9. Click Run Today’s Searches to begin the automation session.
10. The extension completes search farming and activity tiles automatically.
11. When a quiz or poll surfaces, answer it manually and the extension resumes automatically.

Compatible browsers: Chrome, Brave, Opera, Vivaldi, and all Chromium-based browsers. Not natively compatible: Microsoft Edge requires a different unpacked extension load method.

Tip: Points Harvest does not automate quiz answering itself. It removes every repetitive task surrounding the quizzes so you spend time only on the actual questions. This semi-automated structure keeps quiz interactions human-driven, which reduces the primary detection signal.

Method 2: Tampermonkey User Script (No-Code for Firefox and Edge Users)

Tampermonkey is a browser extension that runs user-authored JavaScript scripts on specific web pages. It is available for Chrome, Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Safari, and Opera. The Microsoft Rewards community on GitHub and Greasy Fork has published open-source Tampermonkey scripts that automate quiz clicks, search counts, and Daily Set navigation directly on rewards.bing.com and bing.com.

This method requires no Python installation and no command-line usage. The script runs inside your existing browser session without launching a separate browser process.

How to Install a Tampermonkey Rewards Script

1. Install the Tampermonkey extension from the Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons, or Microsoft Edge Add-ons.
2. Open Tampermonkey and click Dashboard.
3. Click the plus icon to create a new script, or click Import File to load a community script from GitHub or Greasy Fork.
4. Paste or import the Microsoft Rewards automation script into the editor.
5. Click Save.
6. Navigate to rewards.bing.com.
7. Tampermonkey runs the script automatically when the page loads.
8. Watch the first run for several minutes to confirm correct operation.

Advantages of Tampermonkey Over Python Scripts

• No Python installation required
• No command-line or terminal usage
• Runs inside the browser using your existing session cookies
• Pause or disable in one click from the Tampermonkey dashboard
• Works on Firefox, where Chrome-specific extensions are not available

Note: Tampermonkey scripts run inside the browser and share the same session cookies and browser fingerprint as your normal usage. This does not eliminate detection risk, but it produces a smaller automation signal than a headless external Selenium process, which launches a separate browser instance with a different fingerprint.

Method 3: Python Script with Selenium (Full Automation, Technical Setup)

Python combined with Selenium gives the most granular control over Bing Rewards automation. The ms-rewards-automation script by hei1sme on GitHub supports both a visible browser version and a headless background version. It automates Daily Set activities, More Activities tiles, and both PC and mobile Bing searches using a persistent Microsoft Edge browser profile.

The persistent profile maintains your Microsoft Account login session across daily runs, which reduces the browser fingerprint gap compared to scripts that inject credentials fresh each session.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.6 or higher installed on your system
• Microsoft Edge browser installed
• Active Microsoft Account enrolled in Microsoft Rewards

Setup and Installation

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/hei1sme/ms-rewards-automation
2. Navigate into the folder: cd ms-rewards-automation
3. Install all dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
4. Run the visible browser version for first-time setup: python ms_rewards_bot.py
5. Sign into your Microsoft Account in the browser window that opens on first run.
6. The script saves your session to the persistent Edge profile automatically.
7. On subsequent runs, use the headless background version: python ms_rewards_bot_headless.py
8. To skip Bing searches and complete only Daily Set quizzes and activities, add the flag: python ms_rewards_bot.py –nosearch

Schedule the Script on Windows Using Task Scheduler

1. Open Task Scheduler from the Start menu.
2. Click Create Basic Task.
3. Name the task, for example: Bing Rewards Daily.
4. Set the trigger to Daily and select your preferred run time.
5. Set the Action to Start a Program.
6. Browse to your Python executable, for example: C:\Python312\python.exe
7. Add the full script path as an argument, for example: C:\scripts\ms_rewards_bot_headless.py
8. Click Finish.

Schedule the Script on Linux Using crontab

Open crontab for editing: crontab -e

Add this line to run at 10:00 AM daily: 0 10 * * * /usr/bin/python3 /path/to/ms_rewards_bot_headless.py

Warning: Python scripts using Selenium launch a separate browser process. Microsoft can fingerprint this differently from normal browser usage. Always use random delay simulation between actions. The ms-rewards-automation script includes a –time argument to vary the daily run time, which reduces the timing pattern signal that Microsoft’s automated review system monitors.

Method 4: Docker Deployment for VPS or Always-On Automation

Docker lets you run the Python Rewards bot as a container on a Virtual Private Server or a home server without keeping your personal PC running. The mukowman/rewardsbot image on Docker Hub supports PC searches, Edge searches, and mobile searches via user agent spoofing. It handles all quiz types including multiple choice, click-and-drag, and reorder formats. The container supports unlimited Microsoft Accounts via a JSON configuration file, processed in randomized order.

Basic Docker Run Command

docker run -it –env-file ./.env –restart unless-stopped –name bing-rewards nelsondane/bing-rewards:latest

When Docker Makes Sense

• You want automation running 24/7 without your personal PC staying on
• You manage more than one Microsoft Rewards account
• You use a Linux VPS and prefer container-based deployment over native Python setup

Important: Running multiple Microsoft Rewards accounts from the same IP address is a confirmed detection trigger. Microsoft’s fraud system logs account-to-IP relationships. If you automate several accounts from one IP, Microsoft may flag and suspend all accounts simultaneously. Use separate residential proxy IP addresses for each account when running multi-account Docker automation.

How Microsoft Detects Bing Quiz and Search Automation

Most guides tell you automation carries a ban risk but none explain how Microsoft actually identifies it. Five detection signals drive the majority of account flags and suspensions.

Click Timing Patterns

Human quiz answers show natural variation in the time between question loading and click action. Bots that click answers at the same millisecond interval on every question create a statistically detectable pattern. Random delay simulation between 3 and 12 seconds between actions mimics human hesitation and significantly reduces this signal in Microsoft’s behavioral analysis.

Search Query Patterns

Automated search scripts using fixed keyword lists generate repeated query sequences that do not match organic search behavior. Tools that pull keywords from Google Trends or use a varied, randomized keyword source produce less detectable patterns than scripts running the same fixed keyword file every day.

Browser Fingerprint Inconsistencies

A Python Selenium script launching a new browser instance produces fingerprint data that differs from your regular browsing profile. Differences include canvas fingerprints, missing extension records, and inconsistent timezone or language headers. Tools that use a persistent browser profile, such as ms-rewards-automation, carry normal fingerprint data across runs because the persistent profile builds up genuine browsing history.

Velocity and Daily Cap Behavior

Real Microsoft Rewards users miss days, search inconsistently, and rarely hit the exact daily cap every single day. Scripts that reach exactly 30 searches every day without variation create an earning pattern that is statistically improbable for human behavior. Microsoft’s automated review systems flag accounts showing consistent cap-hitting over extended periods.

Same IP Address Across Multiple Accounts

Running two or more Microsoft Accounts from the same IP address is one of the clearest automation signals available to Microsoft’s fraud detection system. Microsoft logs account-to-IP associations and can suspend every account linked to an IP showing abnormal earning patterns simultaneously.

Detection Risk by Method

Method	Detection Risk Level	Primary Risk Factor
Points Harvest semi-automated	Low to Medium	Search frequency pattern
Tampermonkey script	Low to Medium	Click timing on quizzes
Python visible browser	Medium	Browser fingerprint plus timing
Python headless browser	High	Headless fingerprint, no real display
Docker multi-account	Very High	Multiple accounts from same IP

What Happens If Your Microsoft Rewards Account Gets Flagged

Microsoft’s automated system restricts accounts from earning or redeeming points without sending a prior notice. The restriction is often silent. Your points balance may appear correct on the Bing homepage but fail to update on rewards.bing.com, or the reverse. Both symptoms indicate an active restriction.

The Microsoft Rewards Terms of Service classify automation as a violation that can result in permanent account suspension and forfeiture of all accumulated points with no appeal process.

Recovery Steps After a Flag

1. Stop all automation tools immediately. Do not run any scripts, extensions, or bots of any kind.
2. Resume only organic, manual search and quiz behavior for at least 3 to 7 days.
3. Do not contact Microsoft Rewards support if automation was the suspected cause. Contacting support while under active investigation for a Terms of Service violation can escalate a temporary restriction to a permanent ban.
4. After 3 to 14 days of clean organic behavior, most temporary restrictions lift automatically.
5. If the account remains restricted after two full weeks of clean behavior, contact Microsoft Rewards support through account.microsoft.com/rewards with a general inquiry about point crediting only.

Warning: Microsoft’s Terms of Service allow permanent bans and full point forfeiture without any right of appeal. All accumulated points are lost at the moment of a permanent ban. Before automating, weigh the monthly value of approximately $9 to $10 against the risk of losing your entire points balance permanently.

Give Mode: The Setup Step Every Automation User Forgets

Give Mode is a Microsoft Rewards setting that automatically donates all earned points to a nonprofit organization of your choice. When Give Mode is active, your personal points balance stays at zero regardless of how many activities you complete. Every quiz completed, every search counted, and every Daily Set tile finished sends its points directly to the selected nonprofit instead of your account.

Automation tools do not check for Give Mode before running. A user can complete a full automation session, earn thousands of points across quizzes and searches, and see absolutely no change in their personal balance because Give Mode is silently redirecting every point to a charity. This is the single most overlooked pre-automation check.

How to Check and Disable Give Mode

1. Go to rewards.bing.com and sign into your Microsoft Account.
2. Click your profile icon in the upper right corner of the page.
3. Look for the Give Mode toggle or a notification banner on your dashboard.
4. If Give Mode is active, click to disable it.
5. Confirm the setting saves and verify that your balance updates after the next completed activity.

How to Maximize Points Without Full Automation

For users who want significantly more points than manual effort produces without taking on the account suspension risk of full automation, a hybrid approach delivers the best outcome. Automate search farming and activity navigation. Complete every quiz manually. This structure keeps the human interaction signal on the highest-value activities while removing the time cost of repetitive search and navigation tasks.

Hybrid Daily Routine

1. Open rewards.bing.com while signed into your Microsoft Account.
2. Click the Points Harvest extension icon and click Run.
3. Let Points Harvest farm PC searches and navigate activity tiles automatically.
4. When Points Harvest surfaces a quiz card, read each question and answer manually.
5. After the extension finishes the PC session, open the Bing mobile app on your phone.
6. Complete the same Daily Set activities manually on mobile. Desktop and mobile tracking are separate, and both credit points.
7. Check your updated balance in the Microsoft Rewards dashboard to confirm all points credited.

Monthly Earnings Estimate for the Hybrid Approach

• PC searches automated via Points Harvest: 150 points per day, 4,500 points per month
• Mobile searches completed manually in 5 minutes: 100 points per day, 3,000 points per month
• Daily Set quizzes answered manually: 30 to 90 points per day, 900 to 2,700 points per month
• Total monthly estimate: 8,400 to 10,200 points, worth $8.40 to $10.20 in gift cards

Reaching Microsoft Rewards Level 2 unlocks the Auto-Redeem feature. Auto-Redeem automatically applies your accumulated points toward a selected monthly redemption, such as an Xbox gift card, without requiring a manual visit to rewards.bing.com each month. The hybrid approach produces enough points to maintain Level 2 status every month while keeping account risk low.

Tip: Complete the Daily Set before the midnight Pacific Time reset. Streak bonuses at 3, 5, and 10 consecutive days add bonus points that are forfeited permanently if you miss a single day. Set a daily phone reminder for 9:00 PM Pacific Time to leave a 3-hour buffer before the streak resets.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you automate Bing quizzes for Microsoft Rewards?

Yes, automating Bing quizzes is technically possible using the Points Harvest Chrome extension, Tampermonkey user scripts, Python and Selenium scripts, or Docker-based containers. However, the Microsoft Rewards Terms of Service prohibit automated point collection. Microsoft actively monitors earning patterns and can permanently ban accounts that trigger its fraud detection system, resulting in the loss of all accumulated points.

What is the best extension for automating Bing quizzes?

Points Harvest is the most accessible and widely used extension in 2026. It installs as an unpacked Chrome extension via Developer Mode and automates search farming, Explore on Bing cards, Daily Set tile navigation, and More Activities tiles. It surfaces quizzes for manual completion rather than automating answers, which keeps the most sensitive interactions human-driven and reduces detection risk.

Does automating Bing Rewards quizzes get your account banned?

It can. Microsoft flags accounts based on click timing patterns, abnormal search query sequences, browser fingerprint inconsistencies, consistent daily cap hitting, and multiple accounts operating from the same IP address. Detection usually results in a silent restriction followed by a permanent ban if the behavior continues. Using semi-automated tools and keeping quiz answers manual significantly lowers the risk.

How many points can you earn per month by automating Bing quizzes?

A Level 2 US account using full automation can earn approximately 9,000 to 10,000 points per month, worth $9 to $10 in gift card value. A hybrid approach combining automated searches with manual quiz answers produces 8,400 to 10,200 points monthly at significantly lower ban risk. Points only accumulate if Microsoft Rewards Give Mode is disabled before any automation session.

What is Points Harvest and how does it work?

Points Harvest is a free, open-source browser extension for Chrome and other Chromium-based browsers. Version 2.3.0 is the current release. It operates through your existing signed-in session at rewards.bing.com and never stores credentials. Each run automates Explore on Bing cards, Daily Set tiles, More Activities tiles, and PC search farming. Quizzes and polls surface for manual answers while everything else runs hands-free.

Can the This or That quiz be automated on Microsoft Rewards?

Technically yes, but not safely. The This or That quiz awards 50 points only for a correct answer. Tools that click randomly through This or That will consistently click wrong answers and earn zero points on every attempt. To earn the full 50 points from This or That, either answer manually or use a script that sources and confirms the correct answer before clicking. Answering manually is the reliable method.

How do I automate Bing Rewards without coding?

Two no-code methods are available. Points Harvest is a Chrome extension that installs via Developer Mode and automates searches and activity navigation without any coding. Tampermonkey is a browser extension available for Chrome, Firefox, and Edge that runs pre-written community scripts on rewards.bing.com without requiring Python or command-line setup. Both methods require only basic steps to install and no programming knowledge.

What happens if Microsoft flags your account for quiz automation?

Microsoft typically applies a silent restriction first, stopping points from crediting while your balance appears normal. Stop all automation tools immediately. Resume only organic manual search and quiz behavior for 3 to 14 days. Most temporary restrictions lift automatically after a period of clean activity. Do not contact Microsoft Rewards support if automation was the cause, as contacting support during an active investigation can escalate the restriction to a permanent ban.
