Microsoft SearchPerks – Search and get prizes

The following can be of use to you only if you are a citizen of the United States. If you are not, you can simply skip this post.

SearchPerks is a Microsoft initiative which lets you earn tickets every time you search. You would get 500 bonus tickets on sign up. Each day you can earn at a maximum of 25 tickets for searching using the Microsoft Live Search. Tickets are redeemable for different prizes. You can see the list of prizes here.

You can sign up for SearchPerks from here. Only legal residents in the 50 United States and Washington, D.C., who are at least 13 years of age, have a valid Windows Live ID, are accepted to participate in the program. The deadline for registration is on December 31, 2008—the sooner you sign up, the more opportunity you have to earn tickets! The program ends on April 15, 2009.

It’s free, easy to use, and your tickets accumulate as fast as you can search. And because SearchPerks! is brought to you by Microsoft Live Search, you know you won’t compromise quality while earning rewards.

After the completion of the promotion, each participant who completed the promotion will receive one ticket for each online search that the participant conducted during the promotion within Internet Explorer Web browser, version 6.0 or higher, on Microsoft’s Windows Live, MSN or Live Search properties, excluding searches within the Live Search Club and the Live Search Club toolbar, located at http://club.live.com Search and Give and any Search and Give toolbars, located at http://www.searchandgive.com and MSN Video site searches located at http://video.msn.com/video.aspx up to a maximum of 25 tickets per day. During the promotion there may be opportunities to receive additional tickets which will be provided after completion of the promotion. Claiming and redemption of the tickets is subject to additional Terms and Conditions. The promotion constitutes an “Activity” under those terms and conditions. Approximately three weeks after SearchPerks! ends on April 15, 2009, participants who complete the promotion will receive by email information on how to redeem their tickets. Limit one trial membership per person. You must claim your tickets no later than October 15, 2009. Once tickets are claimed they are subject to expiration pursuant to the additional Terms and Conditions.

So if you live in the United States, are 13 years or older and use I.E. 6.0 or higher, grab this opportunity to earn free prizes. Here’s the signup link to SearchPerks once again.
