Why is Microsoft Rewards limiting how much I can earn?

I've been doing microsoft rewards for around 2 years and I've gotten consistent points, but since last month Microsoft has been slowly degrading how many points I can get.

For example, they've been only giving 1 POINT now for each task I do instead of 10 points, basically no monthly punch cards, and they just deleted my edge search points.

Is this on purpose to limit how many points older accounts with more points can get?

(I dont want a "Thank you for your opinion, we are going to look into this issue" robot response please)

    I’ve found that Microsoft has integrated a timer that allows (3)three 5 point searches then a fifteen minute timer starts before you can start another three(3) 5 point searches. I’m using a iPad for up to 150 points per day and I also use my iPhone for up to 100 points per day. This timer affect both phone and pc/ipad search and earn. I’ve tried to get both during the a said 15 minute period but I haven’t been successful doing that. You have to wait 15 minute between either search and earn devices. I’ve successfully accomplished earning maximum points twice since discovering this from and article I found online.

    They're even causing so much grief on Low income families as well! I tend to use Microsoft Rewards so that I can buy some games for my XBox. But this damn hinderance is causing so much chaos, discord and anger that even the FTC, the FCC, the FBI, the CIA and the DSPD want to wage war on big corrupt corporations. And Microsoft is no exception.

    To speed things up I move over to the ipad and open Safari to the Bing home page scroll down just enough to bring up the multiple news strip and start clicking on them waiting about 3 seconds between and watching the reward points to make sure they are incrementing. Takes about two minutes to get 150 points. Sick that I have to change browsers to get the points in any timely manner. But that’s my work around till the actual Bing browser is friendlier.

    I wish it was just a delay between searches. More like it's you get points for one or two searches every 15 or 20 minutes, dragging out doing searches for most of a day. Which I make a point of still doing, just to spite them.

    What a joke this has become.
