Did you know you can fund your League of Legends account without ever pulling out a credit card? I found this out completely by accident while scrolling through the Microsoft Rewards redeem page looking for an Xbox gift card. Sitting right next to the usual Amazon and Xbox options was a League of Legends gift card.
To be upfront, I don’t play League of Legends. However, I have friends who do, which always makes me interested in this since Microsoft gives users the ability to fund their account. In this post, I will breakdown how this program works, and why it is a great option for anyone who plays this game and never uses Bing (but should).
Key Summaries
- September 2026 Points: The League of Legends Gift Card on Microsoft Rewards currently costs 6,500 points and gets you 575 RP (Riot Points). As a note, this can change (and most likely will) in the future
- Where it Works: RP works across League of Legends, Teamfight Tactics, Legends of Runeterra, and VALORANT — any Riot Games title that uses Riot Points.
- How to Earn Points? You earn toward it the same way you earn toward any Microsoft Rewards gift card: daily searches, the Daily Set, punch cards, logging into xbox daily and quizzes.
- The Code: The code only works at Riot Games’ own stores and clients, listed at prepaidcards.riotgames.com — it isn’t a resellable or transferable code.
- Rotating Reward: This is a rotating reward. It periodically goes out of stock and comes back days or weeks later, so don’t sit on 6,500 points assuming it’ll still be there tomorrow.
Recommendation: Redeem It the Moment You Hit 6,500 Points
Because this reward rotates in and out of the store, my advice is to treat it differently than an Xbox or Amazon gift card. Those two are almost always available, so there’s no harm in banking points toward a bigger denomination. The League of Legends card is not like that.
Plenty of Rewards members have hit 6,500 points only to find the card gone from the list the very next day, sometimes because Riot’s gift codes ran out of stock, sometimes because the promotional period simply ended. If you actually want the RP and you see the card sitting in your redeem page, grab it. You can always keep earning toward the next one.

What You Get: 575 RP for 6,500 Points
Riot sells RP in fixed bundles, and 575 RP roughly lines up with the $5 tier of Riot Points that Riot’s own store sells directly, just delivered as a prepaid code instead of a card swipe. That works out to spending about 11.3 Microsoft Rewards points per RP, which is a solid redemption rate compared to some of the other small-denomination gift cards in the store. It won’t fund a full skin purchase on its own, but stacked with even a small amount of real money, or combined with a second redemption down the road, it’s enough to grab a champion, a rune page, or chip away at whatever you’re saving up for in League, TFT, Legends of Runeterra, or VALORANT.
Fastest Ways to Rack Up 6,500 Points
If you’re starting from zero, 6,500 points sounds like a lot, but it adds up faster than people expect. A few habits will get you there in a couple of weeks:
- PC and mobile searches through Bing net you points daily, and mobile searches count toward a separate, often higher daily cap.
- The Daily Set on your Rewards dashboard is usually three to five quick quizzes or polls worth 30–90 points combined, and it resets every day.
- Punch cards reward you for completing a handful of searches or activities over several days, often paying out in the hundreds of points once finished.
- The Edge browsing streak, if it’s showing up on your account, adds a 300-point bonus for using Edge at least 30 minutes a day for a week straight — worth checking your profile for.
- The Microsoft Rewards mobile app has its own streak and quiz bonuses that stack on top of everything above.
None of these alone gets you to 6,500 fast, but combined and done consistently, most active Rewards members clear that number within two to three weeks.
Another Fast Way to Earn Points – Refer and Earn
If you really want to speed things up, don’t sleep on the Refer-a-Friend program. Every friend who joins Microsoft Rewards through your personal link and completes the Welcome Quest hands you a one-time 1,300-point bonus on the spot — that’s a fifth of the way to the League of Legends card from a single referral. On top of that, you keep earning 1 point for every Bing search your referral makes (up to a 500-point daily cap per referral) for up to a year after they sign up, so a couple of friends who search regularly can quietly stack hundreds of extra points a month without you lifting a finger. Just steer clear of gaming it with fake accounts or VPNs, since Microsoft can claw back the points or suspend the account for that. I broke down the full mechanics, including how the bonus rate has worked during past promotions, in Microsoft Rewards Refer and Earn Gives You More Points.
The Card Only Works on Official Riot Stores
One thing to know before you redeem: this isn’t a universal gift card you can spend anywhere. The fine print on the reward page is specific — the card is redeemable only at Riot Games online stores and Riot Games clients listed at prepaidcards.riotgames.com. You can’t apply it to a Steam wallet, a different publisher’s store, or resell it through a third-party marketplace under Riot’s terms. It’s also worth noting Riot’s standard clause that, except where required by law, the value won’t be replaced if the code is lost, stolen, or used without your permission — so redeem it into your own Riot account promptly rather than letting the code sit in your inbox.
This Reward Rotates In and Out of the Store
The League of Legends gift card isn’t a permanent fixture in the Microsoft Rewards catalog the way an Xbox or Amazon card is. Members have reported the card disappearing entirely for stretches of anywhere from about 24 hours to two weeks before restocking, based on patterns others have tracked after previous outages. There’s no published schedule for when it comes back, and Microsoft hasn’t confirmed a fixed restock cadence — it seems to depend on when Riot replenishes the gift code inventory Microsoft is drawing from.
What To Do If the Card Isn’t Available
If you check the redeem page and the League of Legends card isn’t there, you’re not missing something — it’s genuinely out of stock for the moment. A few things actually help:
- Keep earning and check back every few days rather than every few hours; restocks don’t happen on a predictable timer.
- Use the “Provide Feedback” option on your Rewards dashboard, or the support page at rewards.bing.com/support, to let Microsoft know there’s demand — member feedback has been cited as part of how these decisions get revisited.
- Consider redeeming toward a different small gift card in the meantime so your points aren’t just sitting idle, then switch back to saving once the League of Legends card reappears.
Patience is really the only lever here, but for a reward that turns search habits you’re probably already doing into free RP, it’s worth the wait.
