you can convert it to gift cards basically
A few days ago I had to help somebody set up Word on their freshly installed PC. It only had Edge on it, so I used it to go to the site for managing Word. The site then said that the browser I was using was outdated, and I should try again with Chrome, Firefox, or Opera. I don't think MS has too much faith in Edge.
This is not new. I used it many years ago, and you get daily points based on the searches you do etc. You can exchange points for cards, like credit, PayPal and so on.
