Azure Active Directory (AAD) and Microsoft (MSA) accounts can be linked to earn Microsoft Rewards points

Microsoft now offers the ability to link an Azure Active Directory (AAD) work account and a personal Microsoft account (MSA). With this change, AAD users with a linked MSA account can now earn Microsoft Rewards points for Microsoft Bing searches done in their browser or Windows search box while signed in with their AAD account. This expanded Rewards eligibility was made based on user feedback.

The ability to link accounts will be enabled by default so account linking is available to an organization’s employees, but still requires employees to opt-in. The choice to link accounts is in an employee’s hands, and they need to take action to connect their AAD and MSA accounts.
