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.

    I was using the Edge browser and search points quit being awarded a few days ago. Clearing cache and logging in and out didn't help. Swi8tched to chrome and it solved the problem.

    I to have experienced the same issue that Microsoft does not allow me to receive points for PC searches. I have reported it many times and all I get is this same canned response from Microsoft Supportand then they close the issue as if it was resolved.

    I have about 25 of these same identical, word for word, responses only from different Microsoft Customer Service and Support people. It's obvious they do not want to fix the issue.

    Additionally, to make sure that your searches will count and earn points, it's important to note that when using Bing for search, it should be done manually and in good faith for personal research purposes.

    Same BS reply that I get every time I submit a support request. I gave up doing searches. I will check every month or so to see if I can redeem my points that took weeks to accumulate for a crappy $5 gift card.
