How to redeem Microsoft Earn credits

Introduction

I had written about Microsoft Earn a couple of times already.  I had generated a couple of hundred dollars of rewards and wasn’t exactly sure how to redeem them.  Then one day, I saw a deal on an Xbox One on Slickdeals via the Microsoft Store and decided to try to use up my credits.

 

Placing order on Microsoft Store

I had actually signed into a different email address than my Msft Earn email address by accident when placing the order, but it didn’t matter.  I still got the credit.  The only thing you need to do to earn the credit is to use a credit card that is already associated on your Earn account.

Automatic credit on your Earn account

After a few days, I noticed the credit was debited from my Earn account:

Refund on my credit card

And here’s the credit refund on my ATT card.

Conclusion

Glad to see Microsoft made redemptions pretty straight forward with the program.  I don’t use the program very often these days (especially in regards to buying gift cards,) but the 3% back at Shell + credit card points is pretty generous.  You’ll have to resell (or buy and use Microsoft products) to “cash out,” but it’s pretty painless.
