What is happening with Rewards?!

Good day Jacob, thanks for your question. I am glad to be able to provide assistance to you today. My apologies on this as there are other users reporting of the same problem and for this I would suggest to monitor it for a bit more of time as there might be an issue on the system or server that is interfering with this one but if it will still be same later today then you can head over to the link below to check it directly with the MS Rewards Support as they have information and access to provide on what transpired on the issue that you and the others have encountered (submitting a report or feedback is important so that the rewards team will be totally aware of this issue) and my apologies again as this is a user to user forum and therefore we do not have inside access to be able to cross check this from our end.

I would just like it to work, period. Right now, my searches don't even show up as points earned, or completion of challenges. It has to be a bug in the MS system. All I can say is, I've given up on searches for awhile until they fix this.

MS, this is a bad joke.

It's happening to me also. Same things as you described. Looks as if corporate greed has once again taken over. I switched to Bing a few years ago primarily because of the points & rewards program, however, if they are going to start playing games, I'll go back to Google exclusively.

My wife has been trying to redeem her rewards points and microsoft is giving her a hard tiime on redeeming them. They "claim" she isn't doing the searches right. ****! I didn't know there was a wrong way to search. She tried doing this before her chemo thinking she could just redeem her points. Now she is starting chemo and she is real sick right now. I'm beginning to think I should just do Google and buy APPLE from now on.

I’ve got about 131,000 points right now and my weekly sets in the app is at 124 weeks straight. Didn’t even realize they got rid of the monthly punch card. They are getting more and more stingy with giving points on top of forcing people to take this “necessary time” during searches. None of it is “EVOLVING” you are “DEVOLVING” and just upsetting your fanbase who partakes in the rewards program. I think what happened is Microsoft said hey let’s make a rewards program and give back to our loyal customers. Than realized oh **** There are way to many people that are using this to there advantage and getting free stuff. So let’s negate that and make it less and less so eventually everyone will drop off so we can shut it down and say oh we shut it down due to a big dip in user activity. Chump like behavior. I enjoyed the rewards program becuase I haven’t had to pay for GPU since the EA exploit days. Once I get to 140k I’ll redeem my 4 three month GPU and just stop using it all together. Unless they make it where you can get points as easy as before. But highly unlikely. The US and UK will be the last two places they pull MS Rewards all together. Give our the two to three years from now.
