How to Get Cinnabon eGift Cards Through Microsoft Rewards

TL;DR

Searching pays for dessert: Microsoft Rewards turns your Bing searches, quizzes, and app activities into points you can swap for a Cinnabon eGift Card. You never have to spend a penny to collect them.
What it costs right now: In October 2026, the $5 card runs 7,000 points, the $10 card runs 14,000, and the $25 card runs 35,000. A custom amount is also available at the same 1,400-points-per-dollar rate.
More than just cinnamon rolls: The card is part of the Mix It Up gift card family. That means it also works at participating Auntie Anne’s, Carvel, Jamba, McAlister’s Deli, Moe’s, and Schlotzsky’s locations.
Not the cheapest redemption: Cinnabon costs about a third more points per dollar than an Amazon or Xbox card. It shines if you already treat yourself at the mall or the airport food court.

Few things smell as tempting as a fresh Classic Roll drifting through a shopping mall. The good news is you can cover that craving without reaching for your wallet. Microsoft Rewards offers a Cinnabon eGift Card that you can unlock with points earned from everyday browsing.

As a note, this post is written as of October 2026, so things can change regarding the points and availability of this gift card. From my experience, I don’t remember seeing this gift card as an option for years (as a member for a long time), so it is unclear how long this will stay in the redeem rotation.

Earn Points by Searching

The engine behind Microsoft Rewards is Bing. Each time you look something up on Bing while signed into your Microsoft account, you collect a few points, up to a daily limit. Phone searches made in the Bing app or the mobile version of Edge count toward their own separate limit, so splitting your searching between your computer and your phone roughly doubles what you can earn.

Search isn’t the only source, either. The Rewards dashboard refreshes each day with a short set of quizzes, polls, and “this or that” questions that take a minute or two to finish. You’ll also find punch cards, weekly bonuses, streak rewards for showing up several days in a row, and occasional points for things like using Outlook on mobile or browsing in Edge.

Put it all together and a steady user typically lands somewhere between 150 and 250 points per day. That pace puts a $5 Cinnabon card within reach in about four to six weeks, while the $25 card is more of a seasonal goal.

Cinnabon eGift Card Point Prices for October 2026

The Cinnabon listing on Microsoft Rewards currently lets you choose between $5, $10, $25, or a custom value. Here’s how the three fixed options stack up. As a note, these numbers are as of October 2026, so you can fully expect them to change (increase) as time goes by.

eGift card	Points needed	Cost per $1
$5	7,000	1,400 points
$10	14,000	1,400 points
$25	35,000	1,400 points

Since every tier is priced at the same rate, holding out for a bigger card won’t stretch your points any further. A $5 card is enough for a MiniBon or a cold brew, while $10 comfortably covers a Classic Roll and a drink. The $25 card makes sense if you want a four-pack or plan to share.

Keep in mind that Microsoft adjusts its catalog from time to time. Discounts tied to your Rewards level or limited-time sales can trim the price, so glance at the redemption page right before you spend your points.

Cashing In and Spending Your Cinnabon Card

When your balance hits the number you need, follow these steps:

Log in to rewards.bing.com using the account where your points live.
Head to Redeem and pull up the Cinnabon eGift Card page.
Pick your amount and select Redeem now.
Complete any verification Microsoft requests, such as a text code to your phone.
Grab your eGift code from the confirmation email or the Order history tab.

Your code works at participating Cinnabon bakeries across the U.S. Because it’s a Mix It Up card issued by the brand’s parent company, the same balance can also be spent at participating Auntie Anne’s, Carvel, Jamba, McAlister’s Deli, Moe’s Southwest Grill, and Schlotzsky’s. So if you’re craving a pretzel or a smoothie instead, you’re still covered.

The card carries no fees and never expires, so you can save it for a road trip or a holiday shopping day. You can check your remaining balance at giftcardmix.com.

What to Do When Cinnabon Vanishes From the Catalog

Partner gift cards on Microsoft Rewards come and go. If you can’t find Cinnabon one day, it has likely been pulled temporarily because of inventory limits or a contract update rather than removed for good. The reward is also limited to U.S. accounts, so members in other countries won’t see it at all.

The best move is to keep earning and check back often. Try both the desktop Rewards site and the Bing app, since listings sometimes show up on one before the other. Meanwhile, your points stay safe in your balance, so nothing is lost while you wait for a restock.

Is Cinnabon a Good Use of Your Points?

On a pure points-per-dollar basis, Cinnabon is not the bargain of the catalog. Amazon cards usually go for around 1,050 points per dollar, and Microsoft or Xbox balance can be even cheaper. Paying 1,400 points per dollar means Cinnabon asks for roughly 33% more effort for the same face value.

That premium isn’t unique to Cinnabon. Most third-party restaurant and retail cards, including Panera Bread, Chipotle, and Best Buy, sit in that same higher tier.

Where Cinnabon pulls ahead is flexibility. Few Rewards cards let you choose between seven different brands with one code. If your household splits its snack budget between pretzels, smoothies, and sandwiches, that range can make the extra points worth it.

The Bottom Line

Scoring a Cinnabon eGift Card through Microsoft Rewards comes down to routine. Search with Bing on both your phone and computer, knock out the daily activities, and you’ll reach 7,000, 14,000, or 35,000 points faster than you’d expect. It’s an easy, no-cost way to turn idle browsing into warm cinnamon rolls, plus pretzels, smoothies, and more.
