I am going to switch to Bing.
For the rest of the week and see how I like it. Does anyone else use Bing, and do you really earn a lot of gift cards like they say?

I use Bing because I really like how the present searches. My desktop has over 250 credits but I don't use things like that, too much like payback cards, you're just asking for advertisements. But seriously, I get the results I want and need from Bing, as I never delete my history, which is also good for teaching Cortana and speeding up searches, specially when I look for something I read a month ago.
It's not to bad Chuck. I did the same thing awhile back. I have ran without Chrome as well. Ended up with a lot of Bing Reward points. I went to the redeem option and got some for the windows store. I ended up getting two apps for Emby. Just using Bing saved me roughly $8. I still have a little in my MS account. I still use google search too, and gmail I find that my system runs better now. I used to get IE has stopped working. Now with no chrome I haven't seen that in 2 months.
I also get 100gb for my onedrive good for two years, just for using bing rewards.
I use Bing and Google. I never used the points so I can't answer if they're as good as they say. I don't even know how many I got.
I don't use Bing often, but I heard recently that Bing Mobile to score an additional 10 points per day.
I've been using Bing since inception. I've been lax on redeeming my points these past months. Have 1,200 saved up. I don't even have to check, for they send a monthly email. It's a good thing. One can donate to charity, enter drawings for things like an Xbox, Nokias, Surfaces, etc., and/or save in the MS Store or W8 Store.
The searches are just as good as Scroogle. What I really like is the Bing page. All sorts of interesting items on it. And since I have a MS account with Cortana on my Lumia, it posts my interests on the Bing page on the lower bar of a Bing home page when opened on my tower PC. Helps me to be more organized.
Open Scroogle. Just search, otherwise it's dead-looking.
Overall, Bing is a nice search engine.. is it something I use on a regular basis.. no but it's a good back up for me at least.
Been using Bing as my main search engine for about a year now, no problems with it
Bing Rewards would be nice, but not available in my country
You made the switch 6 days ago - and what do you think.I am going to switch to Bing.

I've used many search engines and many aggregate search services. I'm used to Google results, so that's what I mainly use. I don't really have a preference - it's similar with browsers, I use the one that suits my needs at teh time.
I don't think you're crazy
Well, I used to joke about how no one uses Bing.
So far I like it. I've racked up 131 points, but I need 500 points to get a $5 gift card. I really like the interface, such as when you look through photos or videos. It's very nice.
