So yea, the reward support team never replies back, I cannot redeem anything (literally wasted my whole hours on this)

who agrees? this is seriously unbelievable! I thought reward actually works.

and it literally says "Theres an issue with your acc or order" infact, theres no issue with my microsoft account.

Any one help please?

    My experience with Microsoft Rewards: Scam or not?

    Hi All,

    I've seen a lot of comments on this thread and just wanted to give you guys my honest experience as an Apple User using Edge for Microsoft Rewards

    (1) DO NOT ENTER SWEEPSTAKES - I entered 1 and the change of you actually getting something is super rare

    (2) REDEEMING TAKES TIME - It took me about 48 hours (after contacting Microsoft) to redeem one of my rewards (Spotify Premium)

    (3) REDEEMING CAN HAVE ISSUES - Sometimes redeeming is a huge pain - I feel for so many people here. It's terrible to work so hard for Microsoft rewards but not get them. I've contacted Microsoft myself once so far and it's worked out OK but if you're having issues try contact Microsoft

    (4) LEGAL & COMPLIANCE - Please please please please read the terms of service - there are certain things you can do that may get you band. ULTIMATELY, IT'S AT MICROSOFT'S DISCRETION TO TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT SO PLEASE BE CAREFUL

    (5) I HATE EDGE BUT I LOVE MONEY - Honestly as bad as edge can feel I think using it is OK in order to get Microsoft Rewards

    (6) DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP TOO HIGH - FRANKLY MICROSOFT'S SUPPORT TEAM ISN'T AS GOOD AS OTHER COMPANIES (FROM MY EXPERIENCE WORSE THAN APPLE'S AT SOLVING ISSUES) - THEY CAN TERMINATE YOUR ACCOUNT

    (7) MY TOP TIPS TO GET MORE POINTS: (a) Download Edge/Bing on your iPhone - you get daily log in points, points for reading the news (don't actually read it just click on it and scroll for like a second) and of course you get additional browsing points (b) GET TO 2ND TIER QUICKLY - you get soooo many more points (c) DO NOT ENTER SWEEPSTAKES - low change of rewards + takes like 200 points (d) READ THE LEGAL USER AGREEMENT - know what you can and can't do

    (8) Final notes:

    Thanks soo much for reading this! I hope this has helped you guys!

    As an all-apple professional user I have to say I actually find Microsoft Rewards super cool! Enjoy them!

    To those having issues with Microsoft Rewards I really hope they can be sorted out and hope you can redeem points you've worked so hard to get. I know how frustrating it can be to not be recognised by a company you've been quite loyal to (was originally dell user)

    Please do reply to this post to share your own experience and ask any questions you may have about mine

    Confirmed Scam.
    The points are a lie, it is so that you do not go to the competition of Google.

    I am participating since 06/11/2023 and the winners are out before exchanging points. Offers end 06/30/2023 I redeemed them and it keeps saying the same winners.

    I already did it more than once. But it seems that the winners are from the day the offers open, they are already signed up and they are hidden. The same happens with other offers, some random winners appear until the offer ends.

    Note: I have redeemed xN times and the winners are always people who do not even exist in the civil registry of the country.

    Don't waste time, it's Scam verified by various "Microsoft official internal sources".

    Nope, it is legit. I've been getting Amazon $5 gift cards for a couple years at least as soon as I accumulate 5250 reward points.

    Pretty awful experience. I'm going to uninstall Edge and Bing now. Why is Microsoft deliberately damaging their reputation?
