    It appears that I can get points for 4 searches every half hour or so.

    Not sure if I had to complete the PC searches before my mobile searches worked. Could just be 4 searches per half hour on any device.

    Yep, same issue here, the old "bug" that others were hit with has finally happened to me too. Just 4 searches count, mobile or pc, then it's locked down for who knows how long. And actually one time it only gave me 3 searches before locking it out. NOT going to do the idiotic suggestions, they're a pointless boondoggle, this is just MS being MS and either they "updated" something (and never told us) or they're just trying to make searches for points hard enough that everyone quits. Rewards points must be driving them to bankruptcy.

    BTW anyone else getting repeated account disconnects and having to sign in again the last few days ? Let me guess... have I tried turning it off and on ? ...signed out signed in ? ...cleared my cache ? etc. etc. etc. And is anyone else finding that at least one of the "search Bing for blah blah blah" quests will never complete no matter how many variations of the "search" are tried ? At least my issue with the XBox app points was fixed, mostly, AFTER putting in a ticket. Hmm, didn't they used to auto-send a "how did we do" email ? I don't think I got one this time. Maybe they're now auto-filling them with "AWESOME ! YOU GUYS DID AWESOME ! 11 our 10 !" and saving us the trouble. I used to love my Bing newsfeed, clicking a story and reading it, then the next, and smoothly getting points for it. And randomly doing my own searches and loving it. Then MS lost the thread and that stopped working right, or at all. More and more of the "news" links became Ads, not even advertised as such at first. Same with search results. Nearly useless most of the time. They're driving me and many more to hate Bing searches and making the Rewards program a joke. OK, rant done, time to see if a search will count now. Probably not. Hey ! New game ! Try to get MS Rewards search to count, when it doesn't or the timeout interferes, come here and complain. lol.

    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".
