PSA: Advice for getting boosted on waitlist

[mccoydj1]

This is not an issue… more of a public service announcement on how to get access quickly and not be on the waitlist

Steps to get off waitlist (this worked for me)

• Log on to bing.com
• In the top right there is a number (it’s your achievement score in bing). Get that number above 100 and you get access from waitlist
• To increase number you can play bing games, do searches from bing, etc

It might have something to do with your activity while on waitlist. Maybe try to raise it another 50 pts?

I'm already over 700 point when I'm in the waitlist, and I just got access today.

Pure gamification, upselling, etc. sigh. Well, they had invested $$$ so it is their right to recoup it now and all 2023, obviously.

Anybody could script fake installs and mouse clicks on a virtual Droid: Anbox plus MS boxes ;)?
FYI, I have (re)installed their Bing smth crap on a protected Droid today, updated an unused Windoze cobwebbed box, both under the same IRL non-throwaway MS dev account (thus risking this, careful), and have 76 somethings just for starters, but still nothing, sigh.

I doubt it is true, I have been waiting since day 7 to have access and I have been gaining points every day and I am still on the waiting list.

[acheong08]

It's pure luck

[LuckyHead11]

I have 8115 :)

[myfingerhurt]

my 18 points got access too. but waited for 3 or 4 days.

[r3l1c7]

i have 380, been on the waitlist for 9 days.

it's by region, I'm in the southeast USA.

[LuckyHead11]

I signed up about a week ago... with 8115 points I should have it by now :) Sadly I don't

A tip that may work or not. At the right corner of that Edge thingy (also available as a DEB on Linux, hence one can script it, etc. without integration with the OS itself, plus full ready VMs and such), you have the "Other personas" toggle:

Use it, it may help, as they are fully separate.
I have unearthed my cobwebbed MS accounts from mid 2000s and 1990s, including at least one institutional one, and one set up as a minor, so as to 'tokenize it up' a bit more, now and in future.

[Manamama]

FYI, out of these three ancient (2000s?) MS accounts, at least one is working by now, but too late, given the rate limit, sigh.
Apart from its somewhat hypnotising ¨me the good bot, okeyy?" allure, see a short FYI here, its kool-aid vibes made me quite like this Linux Bing by now.
Should I seek professional (robotic?) help?

[LuckyHead11]

I had 8,295 and just got access, it took me 11 days but felt like 11 years :)
