    You must be lucky. None of the tips ever make a difference for me. It has always done this since bing started2009, but the past few years (especially 2024) has been ridiculous.

    For what it's worth, and it may not work for you because the whole thing seems hit or miss.

    Are you searching too fast ? Recently I've found the time "required" between each search has increased. Probably to thwart script bots (which won't work but MS probably can't do it any other way). So, slowing down your searches a little might help. If that doesn't do it, good luck, because it's all pretty random when, how, and for who it all works.

    EDIT : When I say too fast and the required time between searches I'm talking approximately a second or two. No more than that. For me anyway, when it's working right.

    For me it's a 3-6 sec. pause between searches or I get no points.

    Then a 15 min. cooldown wait until it will work again, if at all.

    5 STAR SUPPORT MS!

    JUST IGNORE US AND PRETEND THIS

    HASN'T BEEN THE ISSUE SINCE 2009.

    I'll be the first to admit I'm luckier than some here, and still I complain lol. I'd just like it to work as advertised and be happy we have it. I don't want to be fighting for it and then have them decide it's not worth it and lose it. That said I will give MS it's due when they do own up and fix stuff. They have before and they did again earlier this week/week before. My daily/weekly/monthly Quest Rewards disappeared a few days before the deadline and would have cost me over a 1,000 points. It took a little while but they got back to me, admitted they screwed up, thanked me and appreciated me taking time to explain the problem and report the issue, explained that they had corrected it (I actually noticed it got reset before I got the reply and I ended up not losing points, which I also followed up to them before the reply), and they still awarded me 500 points for my trouble and notifying them of the issue. So, sometimes at least, they are on the ball, helpful, informative, and appreciative. I suspect, even when it doesn't feel like it, that they are trying. But ;-) ...come reset for the daily/weekly/monthly this month it was delayed (perhaps part of the same issue), though oddly it appeared to have tracked those invisible days, at least partly. Still a bug or two today, a couple Game Pass games not counting on first play but registering on second play, although one Game Pass game did register on first play (after it was updated, before playing, might have been why). In the meantime, did you all get the notification of the Million Dollar giveaway ? Sure, the odds of winning are low but it kinda feels like they like us :-) So, report issues (yeah, it's a bit of pain), without too much drama if you can (sometimes gulity lol), and always without venom. It might pay off personally, and even help everyone else. They can't know it's broke if nobody is saying so, politely. Long winded Rant?/AntiRant? over, g'nite all !
