      Perhaps the people working at MS have time to play a gd meta-shopping-meta-game while at meta-work... in fact that would explain lots of things, but honestly sending me multiple emails about this every week is a bit too much. I have no idea what this is or why i should care. Go fix WSUS and add support for your own bleeping plugins for Office 2016, stop sending me spam.

                  @scottalanmiller I have no clue, hence the rant.

                    Looks like something similar to the Bing Rewards program.

                        Well I can't honestly say RedHat has never sent me an email with cats or the word "womp."

                            It is clearly the Bing rewards stuff.

                            He signed up for something and is getting spammed for it.

                              It's Bing rewards...

                              I always get $5 or $10 off Amazon just for using Bing. And I don't mind because I never notice a difference in results when using either Bing or Google. Seems the same to me. Except when I use Bing, I get free money. I don't do anything extra that I wouldn't do on Google searches.

                              Except maybe when I get those emails, I'll quickly take 30 seconds once a week or whatever to get the bonus points.

                                I do have to give them credit for the Super Troopers reference in the second one.
