    I just sent an email into MS support the other day asking them about bing rewards and windows phone not being tied together (IE when I made a bing search on my L920 I got no credit on Bing rewards). I see something about bing rewards in the cortana search settings now. Is WP8.1 finally tied to my normal account for Bing rewards? Anyone know?

    Same question. I linked my account after I clicked the "Bing Rewards Info" link in Cortana's search settings, however my searches were not yielding any points given.

    Along the same lines, I would like Cortana to learn about my interests from my Windows 8.1 Bing searches, but I haven't seen any indication that Cortana is doing this.

    I'm not sure that I want this. I'd hate for her to keep asking me about naked Klingon midgets on surfboards during hurricanes.

    Ummm... not that I'm into that...

    Bing Rewards is coming to WP. But not just yet.

    Not disputing your claim but why even bother with the hyperlink under the Cortana search settings if there is no connection?

    You got to remember this is a Developer Preview, more or less a beta. I'm sure Bing Rewards will be ready when 8.1 is ready for the official release. I wish I didn't install it, it just made my phone slow.

    This is my concern as well. Bing is awesome for porn.

    The rewards work on my wife's phone, but not mine. Both are wp8.1 Lumia 1020s.

    I get mobile search credits from Bing searches on my L920, but not from Cortana searches (which are an order of magnitude simpler to perform). Hopefully the full release version will address this.
