There are several sites that offer free Microsoft Points codes in exchange for completing surveys or responding to offers. Just open a web browser on your computer and browse for these sites.

Choose the denomination that has the “Available” button displayed below it. After clicking on the “Available” button, you will be taken to the Introduction page where the mechanics are explained. After reading through them, click on the “Next step” tab to proceed. Simply click on the “Like” button on the screen. If you’re not logged into Facebook (on another browser tab), a small log-in window will pop up so you can sign into your account, and proceed to liking the site’s Facebook page. Click the “Next step” button to complete this part. On the last page, click on the “Redeem code” button to get the code. A small window will appear showing you the list of offers or surveys you can complete in exchange for a code. Just click on one of the offers, and follow the instructions to complete one. Each offer or survey is different from the next, so there’s no specific set of instructions to follow that can be stated here. Completing offers range from answering simple survey questions to installing a software on your computer.
