User reviews

Users appreciate Microsoft Rewards for allowing easy earning of gift cards and maintaining reward streaks. However, multiple users face issues like the extension breaking Edge features, locking rewards, and inconsistent point tracking. Security and trust concerns arise as Edge sometimes disables the extension. Additionally, customer support is reportedly unresponsive, and there is confusion about the points system. Overall, while rewarding, the extension has technical and user experience drawbacks.

Points system changes or unclear how points are added, causing confusion among users.

Loads so incredibly slow. The first time booting up my browser each day, it literally takes over 5 minutes for the addon to finally pull up the rewards panel once you click on it. I can literally go to Microsoft rewards and complete all the daily tasks before the add-on even loads

Erfahre vom Kundensupport nichts, werde ignoriert, unseriös

Extension safety

Risk impact

Risk impact measures the level of extra permissions an extension has access to. A low risk impact extension cannot do much harms, whereas a high risk impact extension can do a lot of damage like stealing your password, bypassing your security settings, and accessing your personal data. High risk impact extensions are not necessarily malicious. However, if they do turn malicious, they can be very harmful.

Microsoft Rewards requires some sensitive permissions that could impact your browser and data security. Exercise caution before installing.

Risk likelihood

Risk likelihood measures the probability that an Edge add-on may turn malicious. This is determined by the publisher and the Edge add-on reputation on Edge Add-on Store, the amount of time the Edge add-on has been around, and other signals about the Edge add-on. Our algorithms are not perfect, and are subject to change as we discover new ways to detect malicious extensions. We recommend that you always exercise caution when installing an Edge add-on.

Microsoft Rewards has earned a fairly good reputation and likely can be trusted.
