Bing Rewards

I checked my account today and I had 536 points.
While Bing isn't sending anything to my mail, if I go on the Bing Rewards site it shows a $5 Amazon gift card, but it gives two prices for it.
It's 525, but the "Gold" price is 475.
I went through the redemption process and each time it listed both prices (never saying which I'd pay).
I have an Xbox Live Gold account associated with that email address, but evidently that's not what they mean by Gold as I was docked the entire 525 credits for the redemption.
Still, a $5 credit is nice.

EDIT: I looked it up and I need to make a redemption and have 750 lifetime credits to gain Gold status. http://www.bing.com/rewards/levels
So I guess now that I've redeemed the $5, when I get another 214 credits I'll be in Gold status.
Double Edit: I just qualified for Silver status. I had to click a few links and give myself a goal. Getting Silver game me 50 credits. Sweet.

You're doing things backwards.
I made Silver over a week ago, but I still haven't earned enough points to redeem anything.

I only learned about the levels today.
Clicking through the crap to get silver was easy.
Getting the points earlier would have been nice, but it won't matter by the time I redeem my points again.
Oh, and I shared the Bing thing with some friends, using TheCatt's link, so hopefully he'll get a few more points.

Today I logged in, and a new option for 10 extra points from mobile searches showed up.
Pogocheats has a mobile version for that too

It's not me, it's someone else.
I've been setting the search number to 90 and walking away. It gets the job done.

Just did my mobile search and got 10 credits.
Is it happening only to folks with multiple accounts? Because I would kind of get that...
I also haven't redeemed a prize in a long time. I have 3700 points at the moment. Perhaps that puts me under the radar?
I'll keep an eye on it.

This morning, all the accounts were showing normal. I was at home, hit refresh, and they all went back to 2 points max.
I came to work, refreshed them, and they all show 15/30 points max (whatever they had previously), with mobile search showing up as well, again, which had previously been absent.

That's weird.
So far, mine have been giving me the correct number of points.

I haven't cashed in points in a while. I think I'm close to 5000. I only have the one account though.
