What is happening with Rewards?!

Anonymous

I was doing my daily searches on my computer. I finished 30 searches, which means I should have 150 points. When I checked, I only got 35. I also discovered that Microsoft removed the Edge reward points. On my rewards page, there's no circle for edge. And on my phone, it says 0/0 for Edge. So is Microsoft trying to lower opportunities or is this just a bug? Or maybe this is because of spam searches? It is for everyone or just me. This really has me frustrated and I need answers.

Sorry if I sound too aggressive,

    Unfortunately a recent update disabled edge specific search rewards. Also, you now have to wait at least ~5 seconds between searches otherwise points are not rewarded. I suppose this is to stop people opening 30 tabs at once.

    It's horrible now. They're punishing those of us who diligently use their Bing application, Rewards application, and searches, daily. As of the last 24 hours, I can't even pull more than 15 points at a time. I have to wait hours to be able to accrue points again, from searches.

    Microsoft, it's time to reverse this garbage.

    Your Game Pass prices are on the rise. We're all taking a huge cut.

    Many of us just won't purchase Game Pass anymore. Time to pull out the PS5.

    I take this as MS giving up on the Bing platform. They were already trailing behind every search engine out there, but now they have caused half their user base to say "Oh well, back to Google".

    It's sad because it was such a good incentive that provided a way to give out "rewards" for helping pad their numbers. All I take these actions as is MS throwing in the towel.

    Why they didn't just tell us "You got two months left and then we're stopping this free stuff... we gotta pay for Activision/Blizzard somehow."

    I'm completely baffled, and whoever made this decision has obviously reached the level of their incompetence. Hopefully they fix it.
