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.

As I was doing my task to searching up my favorite movies I won't receive my points I keep doing it but still won't work
Odd, there was 7 pages on this thread yesterday, and today page 7 is suddenly erased. Interesting... so that they'll make a slight effort for, but all the BS with bing that tons of people complain about every year is ignored.
Top notch effort bing staff! 10/10 in bizarro world. But here in our time-line, it's 0/10.
🥴
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.
And now I'm feeling like I just wasn't patient enough and unkind again, or that there is someone oiling the squeaky wheels lol. Or maybe it was just growing pain glitches in rolling out the new and improved version I found this morning. They have combined Bing Check-In and Search 3 Times Daily collection tasks into the same place in both the Bing app and my browser Bing page. Used to be I had to go to both, each for one. And the Bing app check-in no longer builds to a "surprise" point award but now counts to the Search 3 Times collection of puzzle pieces for the 1000 point bonus. I think that's a major improvement in both ways. And an extra bonus is that the time-out on searches counting after 4 seems to be turned off again. No 15 minute (the timeout for me anyway) wait after 4 searches to do 4 more searches cycle. On mobile at least. So, OK, grudgingly, kudos MS, and thanks.
Haven't checked PC yet but probably ok there again now too, I'll pop back and edit this post to confirm later.
EDIT : Update : As anticipated it is working smoothly for PC searches now too. Although somewhere on the way back here apparently I got randomly signed out again so that might still be a thing. And I noticed that the Bonus PC searches (4 searches daily for 12 points) seems to be gone, sorta, the icon is still there but now it shows 0/0 searches. So I guess it's turned off but they left the icon as ? ? ? a reminder ? missed in tidying code ? a place-holder for some future use ? Minor issue.
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.
