I don't know if I'm missing out on something because I'm level 2 and my daily total points has decreased from 210 to 195 due to the activities.

    If they do that, I will use Google search or Duck Duck Go. No reason to use Bing if it's not paying, especially with some of the fraudulent results I have been receiving for a website search! The legit site is no where found on the results page!

    Two of the daily set have been reduced from 10 to 5 for me, and today I saw some other searches just awarding 2 points. Lately, I do a search for a well known site that used to generate the correct website, and now I get garbage sites that seem like phishing or fraudulent sites. I'm just using the emailed link to avoid the scam search results. Bing cheaped out before with a lot of back lash. I'm not sure I would continue to use if it starts netting fraudulent search results. It's bad .. wonder if it's AI screwing things up?

    mine also gone down to 2 points ... and only the 1 card showing per day

    So M$ expect 35,000 points to claim an ultimate GP reward.

    So 17,500 days, or 47 YEARS ... lol, what a joke M$ has become

    Raised this at a dev session hosted by M$ - it became a pile on, the whole Power BI session got lost in the noise about the various ways M$ is ripping off its customer base. Perhaps hi-jacking these regional product sessions will force a change, if nothing else its entertaining

    So, they're £5 gift card which can only be spent in Xbox store cost 5,935 points, yet the questions have gone down to 2 points each. Is this a Christmas joke? Why even bother anymore? If they want to keep penny pinching, just fire the rewards team.

    This is the 2nd time in a yr or so that MSFT/Bing has lowered pts. Its pathetic. It takes time..10 minutes or more to do the searches, read to earn, etc...

    It was kinda fun and it broadened some knowledge learning about new places.

    But its time consuming.

    And now they are pulling this point choke?

    I can find something else to do. Tiddly winks, blogging, X posts, actual social interaction with the wife...Vavavavoom! ya know???

    I dont have to spend time earning points to feed people or earn pts for a couple of burgers at Burger King....

    So MSFT needs to weigh the cost of cutting us consumers out.

    (But ofcourse this ALWAYS happens to 'reward programs')
