Microsoft rewards and VPN

a VPN will hide your IP address but if you use Microsoft Rewards you will need to turn off the VPN while you do the tasks or claim rewards.

Hello Dasha,

We understand that you have an inquiry in regards to using a VPN while collecting rewards through the Microsoft Rewards program.

Considering a VPN is a personal use/preference, there should not be a reason for you to be limited in using it to collect your rewards from the program.

We hope that this information helps, and we wish you the best.

Some Microsoft Rewards are only available in certain regions, so some rewards will only be available in the U.S. as Europe might have different ones, and no, you should not use a VPN.

Hello and thanks for the answer!



It seems that even if the account were to join Microsoft Rewards in another country I'd still be unable to participate from my country.

Would using a VPN somehow enable me to participate? Or is it prohibited to do so?

Would signing up with a phone number from a country that has access to Microsoft Rewards and use a VPN let me participate? Or, again, is it not allowed?

Do you use VPN in any way on your PC ?

Often the reason for a Rewards ban is that people forget to turn off VPN before they go to the Rewards site.
