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.

    Most human beings when offered something for free by doing something simple will happily accept the opportunity to do so

    The main concern with all of this is why Microsoft offers points for simple tasks of clicking/tapping/typing only for a user to earn and acquire the points reward, to then have Microsoft and their 'automated system' treat us as if we're all doing something wrong and deceitful.

    If Microsoft's aim is to depress people with feelings of being cheated, disillusioned, disheartened, and worthless then they are without doubt achieving their goal.

    I for one am tired of being made to feel like a lab-rat in a maze full of vanishing cheese.

    Perhaps this reward system has unfortunately now become a synonym for Microsoft's true ethics and their disregard for the well-being of their users ('user' also being a common term for an addict - seeing as how they have managed to get most people hooked!)

    If you download Start on Android (now called simply MSN), and read the news, you can get up to 30 points. Sometimes these points don't show on the dashboard. Hope this helps.

    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')
