Microsoft Rewards Program now extends to 58 countries

The Microsoft Rewards Program gives everyone the opportunity to earn prizes for their activities in the Microsoft environment. The program helps you earn points and exchange them for different rewards or "donations to a cause of your choice" that you can use. Microsoft is now expanding it to an additional 38 countries, bringing the total number of regions where it is available to 58.

The program allows points to be earned by using different Microsoft products, such as searching on Bing.com, buying things online from the Microsoft Store, or playing on Xbox. However, there are some reports that the original way of earning points does not work in some of the aforementioned areas. In particular, some participants in the program claim that they were unable to earn points through Xbox Game Pass missions or the Microsoft Rewards app on Xbox.

In related news, some program participants have reported being unable to redeem Roblox gift cards, which has led to varying speculation, particularly the possibility that Microsoft may have removed them from the list of redeemable rewards in the program. Nevertheless, Microsoft Rewards Customer Support clarified the situation, saying that the option is currently only unavailable due to a lack of inventory.
