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?

    Yeah when I came back from the country I visited and had used edge in (thereby gaining points) when I attempted to redeem the points Edge blocked me from doing so saying that there was an issue and I needed to contact support.

    After emailing them they told me that by using Edge in another country and hence searched on it (thereby gaining points) I was violating their terms of service.

    Seems bizarre to disqualify me from Edge because I had used it in another country and hence earned points...

    Anyway, thanks for attempting to help me out!

    To a degree, its worse than expected. I use a VPN and was rejected from the program due to "access to rewards from different locations". So, Microsoft do not appear to be concerned about security. I almost want to drop the VPN, get hacked and sue Microsoft for lack of security controls.

    The ISSUE is you used a VPN for redeeming in multiple markets...and that is against their terms of service!! Stop WASTING OUR TIME; CHEATER!!

    Turns out that you can't use Microsoft Rewards Abroad. So if you were to make a search on edge abroad and collect points from it (done authomatically) you will be disqualified for using it abroad.

    How the hell do Microsoft expect you to work if you for instance moved abroad for a holiday and wanted to gain rewards?

    Frankly the fact that when I open chrome Edge has a pop saying to use it for a better experience is ridiculous.

    I used edge every single day for a month and it pains me that this is the standard Microsoft is willing to go to for it's customers.

    Very dissapointed.

    It is my understanding you will be able to redeem when you are home again.
