I cleared cache, reset default, updated, on/off, log in/out, points not showing up 24-hrs later, no response from Microsoft Support for 10+ days after multiple attempts. Microsoft Support recognize(d) first ticket but won't respond to first ticket. Given the above information, what is the best way to solve this puzzle? A 365 Subscriber and Outlook user for decades. No X-Box.

    I feel your pain.. it stopped working for me as well. They have banned all 5 of our accounts here and screwed us all over for our time multiple times by not letting us redeem. I just spent almost 20 mins on this account and I still only have 80 out of 150 points. Why should I devote my time when these anticonsumer bastards at microsoft will probably ban me anyhow upon redeeming a 5 dollar amazon card? This program isn't worth it anymore and we have been taken part since leaving the horrible xbox brand back in 13. Not only did we switch to chromebooks and leave xbox, we have vowed never to use a windows pc again. And that my friend is where our lives became simpler.. with Chromebooks and Macs.

    Microsoft can go screw themselves.. we have already gained over 6 grand for those shysters in over 9 years times.. They paid for many things for us, including bluray box sets, expensive chairs and other electronics at amazon. I guess I should count my blessings that I've already screwed them over and the game is now over for us. This is for all the broken digital content you never refunded us on xbox and for your anti consumer ways and your stupid decisions not only with your xbox brand but windows as well.

    Microsoft can go f themselves.. this family of 5 is DONE WITH THEM..

    I am having same issue

    I am having a whole lot of issues with Bing search points, as I'm sure many of you are. The problem started some time in the past week. I usually do 35 quick unique searches on PC and 20 on Mobile. I come to find out that most of those searches didn't count. So it was wasting my time and electricity (yes, searches do significantly add to power consumption on a global basis). On PC, it seems to require about 15 seconds between searches. Mobile only counted 2 searches today and then stopped counting.

    I really love the idea behind Microsoft Rewards. It is a great way to keep people loyal to the brand. But, since the beginning of the program, it has been wrought with gliches. A year ago, I lost my very long streak of completing the daily 3 things because it wasn't letting me complete the quiz. I tried on both Mobile and PC. Quite often, clicking on the things that are supposed to give me points do not work. And the most annoying part of all is the Rewards App on the actual XBOX has always been a laggy glitchy piece of ****. Why can my XBOX run a complicated game like Assassin's Creed but can't run a very simple app made by the very people that made the XBOX?

    And then there is the issue of actually complaining to someone who cares (working for XBOX). Good luck with that.
