How do I redeem points if my phone number gets declined

THE OP RANGER · Dec 13, 2016

I have tons of reward points on my account yet when I go to use them it says cannot continue because the phone number cannot be used even though that is my number associated with that account

microsoft rewards phone verification

just wondering; why does microsoft/bing rewards need a phone verification when i try to redeem my points?

wouldn't an email suffice?.. i'm really baffled why you want to know my phone number so bad.

i'd cash in a lot more points on the simple little stuff, if i didn't have to do this stupid procedure.

Sign in to your account using your existing alias and password.
Go to Your info at the top of the page.
Select Manage how you sign in to Microsoft.
You may be asked to verify your account before changes can be made. Follow the instructions provided to select your alias:
- Select Add email. You can create either a new Outlook.com email address or add an address that you already have. Then, select Add alias. You’ll be returned to the previous screen. Select Verify and
  follow the instructions provided.
- Or, select Add phone number. Enter the phone number you want to use, and then select Next. When you add a new phone number, we'll send a text message to that number to verify it. Enter the code in the text message, and
  then select Next.
  Note Email addresses and phone numbers that are already an alias on another account can’t be used.

It can take up to 48 hours for the change to be implemented across all Microsoft services. If you sign in to your Microsoft account on an Xbox One console by using your Kinect sensor, you might temporarily
be asked to manually sign in with a controller. If you're still being asked to manually sign in after 2 days, try removing your account from the console and then adding it back.
You can use any email address or phone number you have listed as an alias to sign in. To make it harder for someone to break into your account, change your sign-in preferences to turn off any alias
you don't want used to sign in.
