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)

    Not only am I only getting a few points for tasks, clicking news stories on XSX isn't giving me the 3 points either. Before I would get 90 points a day easy. Now I'm clicking them and getting next to nothing at all. I have a 1Gb broadband as well. Tight fisted M$. Probably butt hurt cause I cancelled my gamepass sub because I got sick of paying £12 every month for crappy games.

    I agree with all of the other comments. No way I'm doing a puzzle for 1 point, or answering a question for 1 point, or even clicking a link for 1 point. It's embarrassing for Microsoft, and quite frankly disrespectful towards us users.

    yes Microsoft is disrespectful against users using Microsoft rewards they should not remove bonus points using edge this is why they come up with edge to use it and then they add edge to rewards to get extra points. i did send them alot of e-mails i am upset i want edge points back.

    Hello everyone. I appreciate the replies. I'm experiencing the same.

    It would be proper if the Bing team gave a notification of the situation.

    Good day.

    They know, and they don't care. There was no advance notice, and there hasn't been a clear explanation- it's all just double talk about the program evolving. I'm done - I have better things to do than three searches every fifteen minutes, after the first three which don't count.
