Why am I not getting rewards points for searches anymore?

Yesterday my searches stopped counting after 90 points and today nothing has counted. Not for PC or mobile. Why aren't searches counting anymore. I'm ready to cancel Game Pass Ultimate, uninstall Edge, and change my default search engine away from Bing.

Bing | Microsoft Rewards
Bing | Microsoft Rewards

A program that grants points for using Bing search, which users can redeem for gift cards, sweepstakes entries, or charitable donations.

    PEOPLE - It is becoming a SCAM and a waste of time! Microsoft started to cheap out since December 2023 which was when I started to realize most searches do not count towards the Reward points anymore!

    Well, right now, the report shows I've accrued 150 points for PC searches, but the total displayed on the Bing search page is only 135 points more than I started with.

    Microsoft: THIS IS MESSED UP!

    I noticed the exact same change. I work in IT and have for 30 years. Clearing a browser's cache is not the solution.

    I am on a 206-day streak at the moment, and I have been missing out on 200 points per day because of the Bing searches not rewarding beyond 20 points. I typically could collect all of the rewards possible per day within 3 minutes.

    Today, I ran across an article that states Microsoft has changed the rewards system when it comes to Bing Searches. Three searches can earn points per every 15 minutes.

    Here is the link to the article. It's disappointing that it has come to this.

    Have a great one,

    The program seems to have reverted back to its former self (knocking on wood).

    I agree with another commenter on this forum that it looks like Microsoft was crippling the Rewards program during the holiday season, and now that it's over, things are going back to how they were. I'm still not 100% confident in this change, however.
