Microsoft really wants users to embrace its Edge browser. Its latest effort involves unveiling a pleasingly rotund $2M prize pot to tempt users over. That figure includes a grand prize of $1M in cash, some alluring Mercedes-Benz automobiles, and “thousands of instant prizes.” Sadly for Microsoft/Edge, it has taken over a month for the media to become aware of this new barnstorming Rewards package with NeoWin flagging it as a surprise “new promotion in Edge” this Thursday.
Head to the rewards.bing.com link at the top of this article, and you will be asked to sign in to join the rewards program. There are T&Cs, privacy, and official rules smallprint links to digest. But basically, you will be agreeing to “receive emails about Microsoft Rewards, which include offers about Microsoft and partner products.” There is no monetary fee for entering the sweepstakes. But you can use Microsoft Rewards points balances to accrue more entries. The unfeasibly large maximum entry limit is 465 entries per person/account/email address/mobile phone number.
