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.

    Van is not even a real person. It is an AI Chatbot.

    Oh look, they nerfed the jigsaw from 1000 points to 500, when I am 1 piece away and 1000 away from the goal for what I've saved for. Second time I've been nerfed 1 short, last time was the 2000 for the old console bonus and they canned the entire thing in the week I was due to get it (might have even been the day before). Merry Christmas indeed Microsoft

    Damn. I just noticed this in the Bing app. 🤨

    I took to tracking the numbers daily, and within the last 3 weeks I observed the following in Australia:

    • Microsoft has definitely reduced the maximum points available in Aus, as noted from 210 to 195 including the daily set; however
    • The Search on Bing section rarely has anything in it anymore, apart from the 2 point quizzes which at its height were worth 10 points, where there used to be between 30 and 50 points available in there;
    • Average daily total increase in points has reduced from around 250 per day to 210 per day - a reduction of just under 20% (my numbers only, ymmv).

    I'd love to see some commentary around what's available in the US and whether they are being treated with the same malice. The daily search points alone across mobile and desktop used to be 250 in the US, which if still accurate is now considerably more than the total amount of daily points available in Australia across all tasks including news articles, quizzes and the daily sets. It would also be interesting to hear the actual reasoning behind the changes, short of the canned "from time to time we may add or remove (read, remove then remove more)..."

    The jigsaw has NEVER worked for me. It continues to show progress but just resets.

    Took Van's view and reported it once.

    Got threatened with an account ban if I continued.

    The rewards program promotes hate and works against Microsoft in every way, damaging every element of the company. The mood of this thread demonstrates this. The rewards team (damage drivers) need to be brought back under the control of someone who can actually direct the programs original purpose.
