I was trying to complete the search challenge on Microsoft Rewards and it's not counting even it only counting 20 points only both pc search and Mobile search . How do I fix this?
A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.
Locked Question. This question was migrated from the Microsoft Support Community. You can vote on whether it's helpful, but you can't add comments or replies or follow the question.
I have found that for some searches certain key phrases need to prefix the search you are doing. Eg, 'Search for the lyrics of: '. Most of the time the system seems to 'connect the dots' itself, but others it needs to be given a prod in the right direction
Oh yeah, I had that "you were in a jurisdiction outside of your home" searches not counting idiocy. I'd forgotten ! I rarely travel, and haven't been out of country in decades. In my account it showed I was in Texas, at the same time my own IP ping showed me right here at home NOT in the USA at all. Pure idiocy. Would they admit they screwed up ? HA ! Never. Either their system was messed up or they were being hacked. But they did take credit for fixing it AFTER I jumped through their hoops to submit a ticket and "graciously" allowed me a "one time" adjustment to restore my streak count out of the goodness of their Heart(tm) to correct it being broken by THEIR screw up. Funny thing, not long after that they came up with the "Streak Protection" thing, to help us out because sometimes life gets busy and we miss a day... riiight. Still at least that might actually help users who do miss a day, especially when it's because of MS "bug".
I was trying to complete my daily points but while I was searching points doesn't apply
Now searching doesn't increase the points. Is there a limit like you can only get points from searching 30 stuffs, and after that, you can't and you gotta wait for next day?
I too, so agree, like a part-time job, what's the use of donating to the wonderful rewards program.
One can only wonder what I have donated if my donations even get there. MS should really
take this into more than consideration.
Have lost points 3 times over the last 4 yrs. also. 23,000, 12,000, and this last little bit of MS magical
disappearing act (3), 15,600
So much for all the tree planting and Global Warming initiatives?
How embarrassing on MS sfts' side.
