"There is an issue with your account or order."

I have been using Microsoft Rewards for about a year now, and the first time I ever redeemed anything was 7/6/2022. Ever since then, I have been able to redeem rewards properly, and do what I want with my points. At 3/12/2023, this story changed. I went to redeem about 1,500 points, so I clicked what I wanted, entered my phone number, pressed send, and was hit with a white screen that said, "There is an issue with your account or order." Now, I know for a fact there's no issues with my account. So, I tried it again. Same page. I tried it again repeatedly, then decided I was going to contact microsoft. I emailed three times, now four, I have searched this issue up various times, cleared my cache, reset my computer, done about everything on the list. I've tried it on my phone, my iPad, I've tried it on other phones, no avail. I am convinced it was my account, and I really wanted to just make a new account.. But I can't transfer points. Today I finally reached my goal of 6,000 points, and I once again went to redeem and it didn't work. This issue seems to have no resolve, and nobody at microsoft seems to want to email me back. There's no fix as far as I know, and I'm ready to give up. The other day, I uninstalled the browser extension and reinstalled hoping that'd fix it and it didn't. So far I have found no solution, nothing even slightly working. Every time I even remotely managed to put in the order, it cancelled itself. Nobody at Microsoft is listening to my 4 emails, I've checked every folder in search of a response but to no avail. I wanted to try the hotlines, but I could not find a certain product. I tried to import an image, but appears that doesn't wanna work either. Someone from Microsoft Rewards Support, I'd appreciate if you could contact me. I've tried to be patient, but it appears it doesn't want to work any day.

Update, 3/16/23: Still not working. I'll keep updating, though.

Update, 3/28/23: Not working.

    Another thought as I look through these posts.Is there a particular problem with Amazon as many people mention or is it widespread?

    I've received this shocking reply from Microsoft. Seems like it's the end of Microsoft Rewards for me. What a waste of time.

    Hello,

    I hope you are doing fine! This is Dexter from Microsoft Rewards support and I will be assisting you with Service Request ....

    I have gathered information that you are not able to redeem £5 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card. I understand how important it is to successfully redeem £5 Amazon.co.uk Gift Card. I am more than willing to assist you with that. For this one, please allow me to explain.

    After review, we regret to inform you that your Microsoft Rewards does not conform to the Microsoft Services Agreement governing the Rewards program which you accepted when joining.

    Microsoft's A.I. is the main issue imho, they believe whatever nonsense it is telling them. For me, they said my searches were too random so I must be a bot. Nevermind they have my credit card and phone number on file. For my grandson they said he used a vpn but if he used a vpn to trick them why didn't he have MORE points than you can possibly earn? Its all BS! We EARN our points, mostly through Game Pass and searches so in the end, they'll lose our 5 or 6 subscriptions a month. With the price hike, hopefully others leave as well. I believe their A.I. is the reason you were reinstated and then re-suspended out of the blue since you said yourself it was random.
