[Introduction]<\/b><\/p>\n

Microsoft is retiring the Azure AD Account Linking<\/b> feature that allowed users to connect a work (Azure AD) account with a personal Microsoft account (MSA)<\/b> to earn Microsoft Rewards points for Bing search activity performed while signed in with a work account.<\/p>\n

[When this will happen:]<\/b><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

    <\/p>\n
  • February 17, 2026: <\/b>the feature is retired. <\/li>\n
  • March 19, 2026<\/b> (30 days from this notice): the capability will be fully removed.<\/li>\n

        <\/p>\n
      • Users can no longer link Azure AD accounts to Microsoft Rewards after March 19, 2026.<\/b><\/li>\n

      • Existing Microsoft Rewards point balances are not affected.<\/li>\n
      • Personal Microsoft accounts continue to work as usual when used independently.<\/li>\n

        <\/p>\n

      • No admin controls, configuration changes, or policy updates are required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

          <\/p>\n
